Riding the Electric E-Ride Pro SS in a 1 hour woods dirt race.

Hey thanks for having the guts to come out and race with us on a E bike. We will all be riding electric bikes before it’s over with, you are the first! Just curious did you finish with enough juice to use full power?

That was my 3rd race and I usually have 48% left on the battery. This race did not push it like the mud race before and I had maybe 54% left but I am not a fast rider and it was about 20 years ago the last time I did a woods race so I am not pushing it hard. I think you could ride it hard and do a full race. I keep it in sport mode which is the fastest and it does fine. It would need better suspension for a fast rider and it tops out at 60 mph so on some big open runs gas bikes will pull me. In the tight woods it does really well because it only weighs 140 lbs so that is pretty fun. I went electric because my KTM kept needing the carb overhauled because I did not ride enough and I saw this bike come out and was pretty fast and I thought let me try it. I like it a lot and there are no gears to mess with it so you just ride. It has really good torque so pulls through any hill or over logs etc. Look for me at the Saturday races usually I will let you ride it.
