Hi what's up with the clunking sounds is it the swingarm pivot loose or bushings bearings worn out? I'm very impressed I hope this company actually happens and goes into production because I must have one. One other question are spare battery packs available? Hope to hear from you soon thanks bye.

Pulled straight from google just to show the reason electric vehicles don't have gearboxes. By its design, an IC engine can only reliably spin up to a certain mark, around 7,000rpm for the average petrol-powered road car. They also only make useable and peak torque in a narrow rev band. Thus, a gearbox is used to vary the effective torque and speed as required by differing driving conditions. Clutch is pretty self explanatory as well.

@@jaysmokey Stock suspension doesn't handle well. If you get it re-valved and have the suspension set right it handles better than any bike I have ridden. It doesn't jump weird. It is a little different to whip because there is no rotational inertia that a gas engine has but otherwise it flys the same. Once you get used to it there isn't much of a difference. The one thing I think it does best is handle in the turns. It does really well compared to the other bikes I have ridden. Producing batteries has an initial upfront environmental cost but over the lifetime of the bike it more than makes up for that, particularly if you charge it off of grid power which I mostly do.

I predict 2023 will show us production EMX bikes. You learn how to jump electric with the power flat kind of like a 125. There’s no way to judge speed (no gears or noise really) so it makes you really good at timing. The hand brake is kind of awesome, but it got me in trouble a few times when instincts kicked in, so foot brake went on. My left hand is bad too. I’m going to fab some parts so I can run both though, it’s killer to slip the brake for hard pack corner traction. H8rs will hate, but I bought a KTM due to being in business still. Map 3 on the KTM would be perfect on this track, but it doesn’t have enough juice to clear that table-table. Any bigger of a track and it would be worthless until we can figure out how to overclock the motor. It’s flat at basically 40mph. Like being stuck in 3rd on a 250F. It’s about Map 2 Alta equivalent. They’re insanely fun. Volhand and Musquin ride them. I just had a full suspension job (needs it) for MX. Can’t wait to get back on (injured). I was without a gas bike for a few months and never missed them at all. I got Ryan Hughes on it and he had a blast 🤣

The problem with electric is that they have to mine lithium to make the batteries, which they have to use gas or diesel powered machines to mine it so not only is it not good for the environment but it’s like fossil fuels, they will eventually run out of it. It’s also way to expensive which will actually limit the amount of people who ride dirt bikes because most people can’t afford them, there 4-6 thousand dollars more than a gas bike

@@AjCatanzaro Do you know that in case of an e-car only the production of the battery uses as much energy as an average car running average miles uses in 8 years? The same energy is enough to run about 200.000 km, that's arround 125.000 miles, with a small gas-powered car. That all without the e-car having moved for one single inch. Surely you've heard about the problems of the extraction of the needed lithium and cobalt for nature and people. The politicans like to keep silence about these probs cause the only big advantage of e-mobility is it keeps the smoke out of our cities. The immens pollution caused by the energy production needed alone for the battery production is kept quiet about. All experts know hydrogen will be the future but it still will take some time to get it usable for everyone. Selling e-cars and bikes is big business but in ten years they will tell us we all need hydrogen cars. So to me all of this e-stuff is no good idea at all.
