motovita Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Does, or did, one exist, or is one coming? I find multiple references on the web about a Vandal model with electric start, but there's no mention of it on their website. Does anyone here know, or has anyone seen one?

motovita Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 For the benefit of the 378 souls that have looked in. I found out today that the "Vandal" model was slated for release this year but was, at the last minute, held back to be re designed somewhat, and released next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the process of selling all my kick start bikes. Electric start might get me a couple more years. I hope they hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Isn't there already an electric start Gasser somewhere in the range? Just checked, there is. Might not be the very latest spec but has to be better than giving up if you're struggling to kick it.

I looked at this years Contact, which doesn't have the ES. To make it into a respectable Trials bike will take a tubeless rear wheel, two new tires, and a shock, at a minimum. It would probably cost less to add the ES parts to one of the Trials models, if that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
