no electric motor will ever beat the scream of a 2 stroke power band, idc if its a 450 electric equivalent im picking a 125 2t everyday

[@jackfetter]

IC engines can't compete with the power and torque of modern electric motors and lithium batteries, with an almost flat discharge curve to 90%+ capacity, it's not even close...

@jackfetter bullshit any two stroke over 125cc will rape any electric

[@BHARGAV_GAJJAR]

gas will cost you 0.14 $/mile while electric 0.05 $/mile I charge all my cars only with solar completely free for last 4 years. Cost of solar is offseted by government tax credit and per monthly payments of excess energy sales to local electric company.

Once again awesome content. Loved the first half but the second half of the video was epic!! Looking at sll of that creativity and cool in one place was a treat. I love the scene. Its the same vibe up here in Canada but the weather acts as a deterrent.

[@AishaIbrahim-yg4cp]

Hi

[@ChrisChevs]

Love to see ya ripping more dirt jumps! Hell yeah!

[@caldeio]

Once the range is even. sure! I wanted to convert my 2005 crf450r to electric (building it from frame up) With at least 72v, 45ah and using molicels Even got a heishman throttle(Alta bikes have them, ducati's) The best e-bike throttle! It'll be silent with as much power as the gas version (45-50hp) but maybe 35-40miles of range. gas is loud but I have a clear 3.2 gallon gas tank on the bike and that's 150 miles range (wanted to put the nacs plug in the gas cap and have leds in the tank for status) . Cost differance is the cost of gas and maintance for 12,000 miles. It's basically the battery pack that the extra cost. I can build a mostly new engine for a controller and electric motor lol It would be free to recharge at home for me so that's not a factor. Batteries at the moment aren't the best in the freezing cold either. I've chosen to go gas. Hoping in 5-10 years there's good batteries and I can sell the gas engine and do electric again. Prolly left hand rear brake still. Love that! Gonna figure something out

[@mrtankkiller9163]

Yeah, modern batteries are really expensive and not so energy dense

The Feel of pulling the throttle on a two stroke there’s nothing like it ,,The Sound & smell gives you a great feeling. Electric Cars and Golf carts have a Different Feeling also compared to my old 70 Camaro 396! But we all enjoy different rides!

Dude I love your videos I’ve been watching ever since the first Sur Ron videos you have such great content

[@ridgeridermoto]

Cool to see you riding my local track, Argyll MX ;). I saw that gray Varg there the other day, makes me wonder if I was there the same day as you!! That YZ250F conversion is sick. I have a 2015 YZ250F so sadly that conversion won't work on my bike, but I love the concept!

[@kitemett]

That mini bike meet was epic! Never seen anything like it in Aus..

[@user-ep6wd7ip7v]

Problem always comes down to battery life , charge time , won’t be good enough for years to come yet . Awesome to see you on a track ppl don’t understand how much work it is to ride a track haha

Plus the battery would never last for a full day of riding. It literally takes me a couple minutes to refuel and I go all day. Not into waiting an hour or more to recharge my battery before I can continue.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Would love to see you get into electric mx bikes. You have a big electric following and electric mx bikes are finally back at the level alta was at. It seems like the natural progression of your riding skill and channel growth. Wheelies are the first trick you learn to do on a bike but as you get a lil older its fun to move onto bigger bikes and other styles of riding. Obviously theyll still wheelie. Just something to consider unless your happy making videos for the 11-16 age group.

[@longboarderebright]

it will be interesting to see which way the electric dirtbike/small motorcycle builds will go, qs138 70 v3 style with the internal reduction or the 4 speed gear box route alot of the time et and others using now. Id like to try both as electric + gearbox will behave differently and in theory adds effiecny, planning to build a electric supermoto that can keep up with the 400s

I love the content, he a great dude. But it's also in line with esg narrative so getting pushed to everyone. Unlike any vid that has wheelies and gas bikes, that would get demonetised and hidden.

[@BashfulNuke]

seriously for only your 2nd time on a track that's impressive

[@Mezonator656]

I raced 250 and can tell you from a racing privateer perspective gas is dead. Cant afford replacing pistons every other race and gas. Having 45hp from 0 rpm out of turns and every race having no drop on HP means a good race bike. Plus, saving on all other engine and clutch maintenance. One thing is sure tho it won't be as fun as gas.

[@SASCOI]

I like electric vehicles. I've even built electric bikes for my wife and me, but I think market dynamics should determine whether gas or electric wins. There are far too many problems with electric vehicles to force that change.

[@alexbekkala1718]

I don't see a reason they compete against each other. They have a long way to go to compare to gas bike sales.

[@daddygraysoh9283]

for me as a dude with a fucked attention span i dont need the longevity of a petrol bike as i dont tend to ride for more then 2 or so hours tops before im bored so electric makes more sense as my 72v battery costs me what would be like 2 dollars from empty vs like 5 to 6 worth of gas each time and i have a lot of old neighbours and a lady with stage 4 cancer so i dont wanna be that dude with the klx going nuts

It’s great people are experimenting but the sound of a 2 strokes power band or the brap of a 450 4 stroke is way to addicting. Let alone a 4 stroke with a 270 degree crank is mind boggling. What ever it is on 2 wheels, where all family. Keep safe and keep it up.
