I think it would be cool if the AMA had a Open pro class , where 450's and electric or a 500 two stroke could all race together and see what's up , id watch it !

[@cbogolo]

They should just make a hp limit for both classes so anything can race if it's within the limit

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Be good if they dropped the multi cylinder ban too! The Aprilia MXV's are stupid fast, imagine what a 2024 model from Yamaha or whoever would do!

[@critical]

@@cbogolo touque is more important than hp

[@waynehearst317]

Robbie is going to have that moment of wishing this tech was around when he was 16 yrs old...when you realize how amazing it can be, how much it will progress the sport you love and shed so much blood for but you're just past your prime to physically and mentally push the envelope...it's a say day. ENJOY YOUR YOUTH BOYS!

this is one of the dopes bikes i have seening in a life time 🤙🤙🤙🤘🤟👌👌👌

Great to see up and coming Electric bikes in action. Turn the music off so we can hear the bikes.

[@13Clicks]

Neighborhood will love electric bikes.

My 1988 XR 600 was the best thing ever ‼️

[@notagain8661]

The death of all motor sports. The dentist drill! ZZZzssss!

[@23rdsphotographyandaerials93]

Should bulid in some type of fan that sounds like a supercharger or a turbo, they could use the airflow to cool the battery and motor.

[@johnnycarpenter1744]

Looking like a learning curve the hardest part is probably going to be loading up the generator every time you go out

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

The boy says.." he's fine" lol:))) Keeping my fingers crossed that I live long enough to ride one of those! Ps. Great video man!

[@s.venkateswarpatnaik2484]

Nice review video Maddison

[@JustinBleeder]

Others not hearing you really is an issue. Ironically it was a selling point for me when deciding to focus on e-motos. Getting to trailheads in my area requires hitting sidewalks and roads. Not irritating neighbors and pedestrians was very important.

[@JustinBleeder]

@@BallBiter56 sorry pillow biter but we already are ruining for you. And very happy to oblige. Sorry about your fragile ego but there's always room from improvement.

they sell themselves lol

20k units on backorder right now...meanwhile gas bikes are a dime a dozen and not selling. I'm seeing leftover KX450s for $7k out the door right now.

[@KtmHoleShot]

They look the goods, how long did you get out of the battery.

[@jnature6586]

contrary to popular belief, E-bikes are awesome and will change the sport for the better

[@akacicaa]

Can't explain it to the haters. Haters gonna hate.

[@FLOYD-MAYWEATHER-TBE]

Why would they change it for the better?

[@akacicaa]

@@FLOYD-MAYWEATHER-TBE more places to ride, less bothersome to people and nature, less pollution, lower maintenance, full software customizability, you can hear things around you way clearer, you can even talk to others while driving side to side. Just to name a few

[@jnature6586]

I think it will make people ride faster in racing and go bigger in fmx. get people riding more often and younger. and then for advanced racing i think the instant and sustained power delivery, regen braking/freewheel modulation, hand brakes, and overal rideability will be the main things that will make people ride faster than on gas@@FLOYD-MAYWEATHER-TBE

[@FLOYD-MAYWEATHER-TBE]

@@akacicaa they going to push it into racing tho, that’s the issues racing doesn’t need any of them things, the noise is part of the sport.

[@pimpslapish]

How long does it take to charge from 0 to 100? After how many hours does the battery need to be replaced?

[@julius8966]

Up to 2 hours to fully charge

[@farbrornilsson9709]

Depends on outlet. In my 230v outlet in my garage it takes an hour to fully charge the varg. There's no limitation for when the battery needs to be replaced. It will most likely hold up for 10-20 years depending on how often you ride.

[@cheristratton]

I have ktm free ride electric. It’s amazing! Hand brake no shifter. It’s so much better

[@BallBiter56]

bro shut the hell up, foot break is so much better, if you aint shifting you aint riding.

[@Berm_Blaster]

What's the weight comparison to a real a dirt bike

[@kevindwyer3742]

It is a real dirt bike

[@pop4783]

it is a little heavier than a 450 but everyone says it feels lighter than a 450 when riding

[@cr-fc5rb]

by the time the 450 is fuelled up there's nowt in in.

[@farbrornilsson9709]

118 kilos, So about the same weight as a 450, overall when riding it feels like a 125.

[@richardbarton7]

how can you really square of a berm without a clutch ? hope it dos'nt create more follow the leader racing.

[@critical]

it got more tourqe just twisting the grip than you get from dropping the clutch

[@leecoates6524]

love to stick some motard slicks on it take fang around go kart track

[@Kodi5204]

Now that’s a real E-Bike not that surron ba that’s a mountain bike with a motor

[@MrToppox]

😈😈😈 imagine with gearing , then you'd hear it .... right 😈😈😈

[@regenbassford]

Damn electric bikes

[@kurtheidelbach]

Yep! An awesome growth area for the sport

[@MrToppox]

😈😈😈 electric bikes . Its phantom 😈😈😈

[@dansexitstrategy5042]

The problem with e bikes taking over racing is that electric motors are the autotune of Motorsports, new bars will be set for sure, but it will always be followed up with “yeah, but it was on an e bike” it’s just not as cool, impressive, or human. There is more ingenuity in trying to milk a little more power out of a limited displacement engine, and it’s more of a team sport. With electric motors it’s basically a 1 man show, plus maybe a guy with a laptop. Really cheapens the sport. No denying the bike looks like lot of fun though.

[@jg102xc]

The tech is cool and they will allow riding in more areas but they are boring to watch. Burning fuel and making noise is the way to go, in my opinion.

[@yastepdadsreveo9158]

The whips they can do on it and future tricks arnt boring

[@trapptours6679]

What happens if you get whiskey throttle and you have no clutch ?

[@pastaalalamborghini]

If you can pull the clutch in, you can let off the throttle…

[@trapptours6679]

@@pastaalalamborghini I always have my finger on the clutch when throwing a wheelie just in case if things go south.

[@pastaalalamborghini]

@@trapptours6679 yeah ok, what does that have to do with whiskey throttle? Whiskey throttle is when you fucked up and you end up way too far back on the bike, arms are straight and you're hanging on to the bars for dear life to the point where youre just twisting throttle with no control. ... If you had any control (and were able to grab clutch) you wouldn't be in a whiskey throttle situation

[@farbrornilsson9709]

@@trapptours6679 Here you can have your fingers on the rear brake instead. Much safer.

Blue tooth EARBUDS for sound!! Have a signal synchronized with engine BLUE TOOTHED into your earbuds!! Not only would it give you a reference point of your bike. BUT!!!, if EVERY BIKE has Bluetooth, when they come into range, '50, YOUR EARBUDS PICK UP THEIR blue tooth signal and you can hear them approaching!!

[@tysonfinn1470]

Thts stupid lmao

[@seandaugherty2033]

Once you learn how to ride its better than gas if you have multiple batteries like I do

[@dungoofed8983]

i bet they are expensive though

[@markwilton4412]

Yeah they are, but heaps less maintenance and the power trip is awesome. They don't sound nice though, but you can hear so much while you are riding them.

[@critical]

over here they're basically like a 450, at least if you pre-ordered@@markwilton4412

[@farbrornilsson9709]

Yes but worth every penny. Got mine a week ago.

[@imortaliz]

a drit bike with better panelgaps than tesla has XD

[@dansexitstrategy5042]

It’s a bummer that racing is moving to lower skill vehicles.

[@OtisFlint]

F1, MotoGP, WSBK, etc. They've been replacing skills with computers in most forms of motorsport for decades. MX thankfully has been an exception.

[@tonypalermo5796]

Stark wants me to pay for my bike before they assemble it! After my $100 deposit over a year ago. I'll stick with my KTM!

[@farbrornilsson9709]

Sad. You're missing out.

[@BallBiter56]

Bro shut the hell up, electric is gay, he aint missing out on anything.@@farbrornilsson9709

[@lfasty8none365]

Cool but boring to watch 😢

[@Mezonator656]

Real racers have 0 regen. I would never turn that on. It's for babies.

[@OtisFlint]

I guess every motocrosser is a fake racer, considering every 4 stroke has the same effect.

[@farbrornilsson9709]

Run mine at 80% regen, its about the same braking force as the engine brake on a 450.

[@BallBiter56]

Great way to lose all the fans for motorcross! Just such a smart idea to take all the fun out of a dirtbike.

What are you talking about? My Stark is as much fun as my KTM 2T or more.
