justjosh9 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Anyone riding electric bikes at trials yet? Are they reliable enough ? I reckon they might be decent to practice around on in the garden.. Especially if the second hand ones drop to just a couple of grand and are sturdy enough to last a few years it could be a lot of fun.. every night ! Then on the real machine at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Electric Motion are indeed ridden in trials, are absolutely reliable to my knowledge and are as "real" a trials bike as anything else if you look at the videos. They're nothing like two grand secondhand yet, so better stick to a trials bicycle if you fancy honing skills at home without incurring the wrath of the neighbours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collyolly Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Not sure about their value as a training/practice aid as the one I tried rode nothing like a conventional bike. No engine feedback ( silent for the neighbours but not much good for gauging power delivery), no clutch ( clutch bite point on your normal bike is very important), steering lock on the one I tried was awful ( no excuse for this just bad design, my Gasser turns much tighter without any trickery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
