This company will never make a profit.

I notice they're not power sliding around the corners, they have the wheel locked up to slide so they don't have the HP to do it. But it looks like a lot of fun anyway.

they should easily have enough power, since with electric motors you can get instant 100% torque...unlike a gas engine.
electric bikes and cars are the future...and eventually planes.

@The Hoff - You forget its 2012 and battery technology is advanced enough to provide all the torque and HP you will ever need. Except not for long periods of time. Electric will always surpass gas engines. Don't forget it.

I'm just calling it as I see it. If you ride bikes you know the difference between a power slide and a lock up. They did their best to make it look like a power slide but the wheel should be spinning hard. You forget Trance183, if the motor or battery is too small it will never provide all the torque and HP you will ever need.

I am just glad that they are making the move from the "Ringa-Ding-Ding" two strokes and the "Barrrrp Barrrrrp Barrrrrp" of the four strokes....
I had some friends who lived a distance away from a dirt bike track and it spoiled the whole "countryside retreat" completely.

For a more representitive 'test' have a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuT6CkmK85Q&feature=player_embedded#!

This is cool. About time. Hopefully Electric racing will catch on. Also Trials bikes would be cool. The noise is why I hate Harleys and the poeple whom put strait pipes on them. Apparently they are like women and need something to attract attention to themselves.

Ladies and Gentlemen... the quietest track in North America!

So they have an article about how quiet the electric bikes are and then the video is full of raunchy music. Then the comparison video of gas powered bikes without music so you can hear the bikes. Why would they do that when the whole idea is to show us how quiet they are???
