collyolly Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Well done Vertigo, lovely looking bike to get the kids excited, only comments would be, how about some protection on that exhaust pipe ? Little people falling off in the mud and they don't have the self preservation instincts ( or burn experiance ) of adults to know not to touch it. Will it be entry level pricing or is it a rich mans toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) I question the philosophy behind these bikes. Electric bikes have captured the junior market and the world of motorsport is only going in one direction. Why on earth would you put a kid on one of these when theres at least a 50% likelihood in 20 years time Trial E will be the dominant class. Also, will they introduce a non electric youth class for these? I doubt they would stand a chance against the current electric models.

heffergm Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 The reason to put kids on them would be if they have a clutch, gearbox, and normal rear foot brake setup. This is the main issue with current kids electrics. If they have auto clutches, I agree they're pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 They dont have a clutch, nor a gearbox nor a normal rear footbrake (judging by the pictures anyway). They look auto to me, and the last auto gasgas's were garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I don't get it either then. I put my kids on Osets for those years and can't imagine anyone choosing this over one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I believe the Market is elsewhere hence why they are building them. Personally A Beta 80 rival would be a better bet in the UK. They have however brought out a 125cc Fi model which to me brings the Age profile down a lot more effectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
