Does electric belong in the sport of motocross? Drop your thoughts below 💭👇

[@Damiencrismore]

@@NickTomasunas I think so but it needs its own league

[@Mountdoom614]

Raha is going to be hitting quarter on his Varg. Evans is whipping upside down. The future is now. Killin it Nick 🤙🏻

I was absolutely a hater until I rode one the other day. Fell in love in 5 laps. One of if not the best bike I’ve ridden. Super fun, super smooth, handled well, smooth power and instant comfort!

The speed thing is something I had never considered, but makes total sense. It's like a bike with gears has built in "markers" in a sense, like audible markers serving the same purpose as brake markers, but in this case, jump markers? I can think of some ways to solve this with tech, but I don't think anyone would want that.

[@nickclarkuk]

I saw the latest Hyundai Ioniq 5N EV car comes an artificial engine sound you can turn on that revs from 0 to max speed. Having something similar and listening for the pitch might help .

[@TexRobNC]

Dude, yes, I've been saying, this opens up new track locations. Nobody likes the idea of an "electric only" track with things like they are now, but once electric bikes are making up a larger percent, maybe a fourth of the market, then tracks like that make sense as we shift more and more towards all electric. I really don't know if this sport will go full electric, because it's so rural mindset focused, we might just have small combustion engines forever.

biggest con is price

[@doglover136_]

same can be said with most dirt bikes

[@quandale_dingle_productions]

@@doglover136_ its 2k more than a yz450 and gas is better

[@doglover136_]

@@quandale_dingle_productions what about ktm

[@cantthinkanameup]

Not really…almost nobody buys a brand new bike and doesnt do something to it….exhaust, ecu puts you at the same price of the stark, very close. Add gas, oil, air filters, filter oil and they balance out. I leave out suspension, bars, levers, grips, seat covers, pegs because thats something guys will do to every bike for comfort.

[@ChrisSoignier]

I ❤ my Varg! No more gas bikes for me.

[@blbills]

I sure love my Varg! Keep up the great content!

[@matts7315]

Good stuff Nick! 😎👍 Big con for me about this bike if I had one would be trail riding. Not sure if it would last long enough to ride long distances on the MI trails?

[@TMacMotorTouring]

Cool content. Lots of info. Insightful and to the point. Keep it up Nick 🤙

[@tonygSDWR]

I got motion sickness watching this video, ha 🤢. Love the channel, Nick.

[@skigod9]

what is the Left side cover with a peg you installed for.............and you need to put on a dual rear break set up lever and foot, i put it on mine its the best of both worlds

[@TexRobNC]

Is that 20lbs wet or dry? I come from streetbikes and they are notorious for quoting dry weight, which is a useless number unless you are transporting crated motorcycles.

[@rbmcrew47]

Test rode it , and loved it , but the price tag was to much,, ended up getting a 24 yz450 with 10 hours on it for 75 couldn’t be happier coming from an 18

[@rbmcrew47]

That said I love the adjustability of it for going from track to trails so it’s not completely out of question for the coming years since my boys are starting to ride

[@kensthorne7060]

I feel they are better than gas engines, 1, your not pissing off neighbors, 2 it's deadly quick, 3 it can only get better from here

[@kadehardman4316]

Biggest con is that the giant whips lose all their cool factor because instead of a bad ass rev limiter, it sounds like an RC car lol

[@swedish_meatball43]

I would love to have one, but they're too expensive. Also, couldn't you finesse a clutch in the gearbox somehow?

[@skigod9]

there is no gear box, its an electric motor it just spins and is connected to the front sprocket.

[@Damiencrismore]

These bikes are super freaking cool always a great day when you upload

[@NickTomasunas]

Agreed! Thank you 🙌

[@beverywhereyouare]

Is it faster than your 450 ?

[@FaithandActiondotnet]

Love electric...just wish it had the range of gas for my snow bike.

[@DylanWood-zw8wo]

love the content

[@NickTomasunas]

Thank you 🙏

[@SLAYJUCE]

Let me spell it out for ya T.W.O S.T.R.O.K.E ✊😎

Biggest con: I don’t have one

[@boburwell9921]

Two stroke 👍 four stroke 👎 electric 👍
