says the freeride e only takes 90 mins to fully charge and this one

reckons about 20-45 mins riding from fully charged to none

None of these options we be so bad you could go out do a lap even a short race lap come in and change for a fully charged battery except for the underlining factor that having a spare battery would cost an arm an a leg and to most wouldn't be a option. As said lot a $$$ to pay out just to ride for 45 minutes then have to wait an hour and a half. (stupid thing is if you go out to a track etc etc what you going to charge it with ??? petrol powered generator now thats clever )

The future is looking good. Now they just need to release a video of an un-fit, late forties, just got back into dirtbikes after 20 years rider on one to convince me.

Haha-my thoughts exactly. Left me wondering where my youth went and wishing i was that age again!

LOL I'd say you spend at least 1 charge cycle yacking between each lap Aaron so real problems there. Plus a peterol generator will use less gas than your lap.

Gas Gas have a nice electric trials bike...
At the moment its the best use for the limited
battery life...

When I see one in Erzberg I'll say yes they are there but till then they have no real use, and anyone thinking you can ride one on the mountain bike tracks not going to happen now that electric vehicles have been classed as motor vehicles in NZ.

Know it aint off road but Bruce Telford (road race) is doing a few laps on an electric race bike at wanganui (h) boxing day, didn't ask him what sort of time, must be during lunch break or sommit !
