- ► Binge Watch #RedBullStraightRhythm: • Red Bull Straight Rhyt...
Many of you reading this right now grew up around motorcycles. They are greasy, oily machines. The air filters need cleaning, the oil needs replacing, the coolant needs checking, and most importantly, the gas tank needs to be filled. But on Alta Motors' Redshift MX bike, every single one of those tedious bike maintenance practices are a thing of the past. The electric motorcycle need only be plugged in and charged, not unlike the phone and/or computer on which you are reading these words right now, and it is ready to race against any motorcycle in the world. With Josh Hill at the helm, the San Francisco-based manufacturer set out to prove to the world that electric technology is not only coming to motocross; it has arrived. The team's debut at Red Bull Straight Rhythm this year was a massive talking point coming into the race, and the Alta crew knew that the scrutinous and ruthless eyes of the motocross faithful were locked in on them at this year's race.

I think an electric bike would have more purpose off the track. Imagine a backyard course or trails with this bike! No more noise complaints, one less chance of getting caught too. I want one
smurfedgt ya know there are these things called trails, like the government even maintains them (sorta) and they are all around america where you can ride freely
I know I have DCNR trails here, I'm just saying it would be a cool backyard bike for someone who gets noise complaints (me)
smurfedgt meh maybe i just live too far out in the middle of nowhere to relate
smurfedgt have fun waiting for your electric bike to charge
Adam Dongle or you know.. Swappable batteries
That's a lot of Monster advertisement in a Red Bull video.
Look at the Hebrew number "6" and who owns Monster and you'll see why its rammed in your face 24/7
Even the octagon has that in the centre of the cage.
Shlomo shekelbergstein I see you Nazi.
@@shlomoshekelbergstein4523 Ok anti semite. Smh
@@ashergreenfield4180 What makes you say I'm a "Nazi" ?
Shlomo shekelbergstein I’ve got a sixth sense for these kind of things. And you reek of bigotry and hatred
The fact this bike, while still in development, could even keep up with pro race tuned machines is amazing. Damn good engineering folks, nice work.
Gary McMichael why?
Gary McMichael I do a lot of trials riding and electric bikes are slowly phasing out combustion engined bikes because the produce so much torque. I’m not an expert at motocross but ktm and husqvarna have started producing electric bikes and it’s probably only a matter of time until other big brand switch, like what happened with 4 strokes in the 2000s
Ariel Fetters Plus Josh carrying a few extra pounds at the time
@Gary McMichael In a motocross race, I would imagine they a swapping batteries, not charging.
Electric motors have instant torque so actually electric bikes have a big advantage in this type of race
I still can't perceive a dirtbike that doesn't make BRAAAP!!
Consider an electric motorcycle with ‘sound modes’: Stealth or Rumble. Why not have the option for electric-powered motor vehicles to accomodate an amplifier (whether stock or after-market) to amplify their quieter engine sounds? Or not and run it in standard mode. Gas engines have mufflers. An electric engine amplifier isn’t an absurd idea for rev lovers in mind
Garbage Clips same
If man was meant to Braaap, he would have been a two stroke.
mars'em240 stfu!
@@marsmike222 its like fuckin without balls whats the point.
Two strokes will always be special
BOB long live fourtrax 250r

i had the pleasure of riding one of these last weekend and it was amazing. it was the exact bike that Kurt Nicoll rode in the endurocross event on Oct 22nd at xfinity arena, i think he also won a few races on it. the owner of skagit powersports in WA offered to let me ride it. it has engine braking which is cool, if youre in mode 4 you just press the down arrow to mode 1 and as it goes through each mode it brakes the engine. not as drastically as you would notice with a clutch but its still there. i got it up to about 75mph on dirt and it was totally controllable. its instant power delivery, can never bog on you, and it feels like you can ALWAYS pull more torque out of the thing no matter where the throttle is at, it was impressive. the guy said they got about 4 hours out of one full charge, on the website it says 2 but in person i witnessed more than double that time, but i would give it more time and years to see if theres real degradation in the battery life etc. each mode is a relative increase in power output. in mode 1 it would be PERFECT for slow rock crawling and technical riding, rear tire does not slip and its just traction and torque all the way without stalling. but even in mode 1 it still rips, reminds me of my 250 4t. the power in mode 4 reminds me of my 450 exc. i found myself searching for the clutch and shifter lever and it was super weird at first. the bike has traditional rear brake pedal and front brake lever, but i would LOVE if they gave a rear brake lever on the left hand. i think KTM hit the mark with that. sitting on the bike the seat and handlebar configuration reminded me more of a 2 stroke like the Beta XTrainer, or the Husky Tx 300. Slim seat, doesnt saddle up so you can slide your crotch literally up to the triple clamps. but riding the bike it does feel more like a 4 stroke. it's about the same weight, that engine though it doesnt have many moving parts has to be heavy as shit. bike is about 250lbs and riding it it felt almost the exact same as my 450 exc. i definitely want and will most likely own one of these down the road when the technology has proven itself and improved itself for several years. another cool aspect i could see coming out of this technology would be the use of data. if they could plug a computer into this thing and while racing or on the test track you see your slow points and map averages. or even for the novice who could just track their speed averages and power output and acceleration data for a day out riding trying to beat old scores for a trail they love. all in all, i see a shit load of potential for this and i WILL own an E bike, whichever one it is.
Don't see comments this good in TH-cam comments ever. Nice review, print quality. cheers.
IIIIIbarcodeIIIII thanks man. I'm just excited about the technology. you owe yourself the favor of trying one out.
How was the balance ? After all time is made in the corners, Did you feel the 250 #'s ?
The balance wasnt as light as a 2t, but it was still very competitive for a 450 4t weight bike. I would very much so compare it to a 450, the 17 450 xc-f
P Kurk
imagine,you show up to the track on a 2 stroke and everyone else is on electric bikes.
MX BrotherHood most awkward thing ever
YourAverage Phantom I would be proud of myself
+Teo726KLSF 2 so would i
I'd rather go RING DING DING BRAAAAAAAAAP then sound like an rc car
KT Moto I think I'd kill myself
The biggest thing between electric motors and gas is torque... Gas has to rev up to horsepower.. Electric you just flip a switch and it all there.
I would assume lighter weight and ability to shift center of gravity would be the biggest advantage...but I have a science background, what do I know?
On the flip side, I bet they can’t last a mx race of thirty minutes plus two laps. I’m not sure they can even muster 1/2 that. So I’m guessing they can only do short stunt shows like this for now.
Well an engine has a whole process to make power. In a 4 stroke 3 of the 4 strokes you are not making any power that's why you have to wind them out to make the process happen faster. 2 stroke half the time your making power. Electric is one big power stroke all the time in comparison. Its impossible for an ice engine to compete once they have better battery tech
@@jamesavery6671 Well, that´s not a down side if the torqe is not delivered contantly. Why where V-twins so successful in flat track, why they raced big bang engines even on tarmac? An electric driven engine wont be competitive with an absolute smooth power output, traction control cannot compensate that. It´s about grip, it´s about driveability.
@fuckboy, on a gas powered engine you just have to flick the clutch and it´s all there...
@@jtfike I bet they can & as far as what you know, probably not much but I can say something about what you don't know. It's pretty common knowledge that currently EVs have a weight disadvantage. That'll change in time, but for now, it's clearly a thing you & your "science" background don't know. :/
@@jamesavery6671 Just how long will the better tech take. There will be no battery ever that will have the power of a gallon of gasoline. Batteries are the absolute worst for storage of power. Just getting on the band wagon for green. Take your electric to the desert and we will ride 200 miles and then fill up your battery for 12 hours and I will pour in a gallon or 2 of gas and say see Ya. Oh! and batteries are really heavy and will never replace gas in your life time. I will just take a few 5 gallon gas cans and how many batteries will it take to even come close . Oh! just take a gas powered generator to charge the batteries, now that makes a lot of sense, NOT!
I can’t imagine how hard that must be. To find the rhythm of the ground, bike, throttle, vibration ... everything, while you have a bike next to you making all of the noise on the track. So cool!!!
We needed a silent dirtbike back when there were still neighborhood trails! Can't hide with the Elsinore!! ....yeah, I'm old..
Honda gang
O was that you i pssed on my bultaco?
Robert Mackenzie Lies. No Bultaco ever passed anything but gas!
Right. I had a 125 Elsinore when I was young and doing the same thing lol
Elsinore! I like harleys but I have mad respect for the air cooled elsinore cr 250. They were beast mode trail bikes.
Josh and Ryan V. battling on thier 80's at Washougal back in the day is still some of the best racing i have ever seen!!!!
I can promise California will find some way to put a red sticker on this thing
BAJARACER43X haha so true!
BAJARACER43X Lmao true
If that ain't the truth 😂
I live in Oregon what's a red sticker?
Destry Harnden the one that says you can't ride here
I'd love to see e-bike MX parks in the middle of big cities. But of course we need to keep our 2 strokes...
embrace the electricity save petrol, so we can ride the 2 strokes as enthusiasts long into the future.
i like your thinking though. sort of like what formula E is doing, only small circuits layed out in the cities and urban centers.
Some electricity generating stations use diesel fuel to run the generators.
Big problem in the UK is noise complaints, even if there are busy main roads near the track making more noise !Dirt bikers get looked upon by many people as trouble, so any excuse to shut them out. Hopefully silent motors will get you what you want...... was so much easier in the 70s !!
Yeah, because there's only one way to make electricity.
Hard to believe you don't hear and smell the exhaust! " I love the smell of "Racing Oil" in the morning!!!! Especially "Castrol"!!!!!
the unmistakable castrol R smell mmmmm
@@deanbaza8581 I love the smell of Castrol Racing Oil in the morning!!! Or anytime really!!!!
This was a game changer. I'm glad you got to be apart of that Josh Hill! Love you all!
Ronnie Mac: "My fire breathing CR will beat anything"
Victor Giannella n b¥9 ..
"people ask how I keep my bike straight up, 2 Viagra"
Rethinking first post, I would like to give Josh huge props. I went back and found how he introduced himself to Alta and it's an interesting story. He is a great rider and seems like a great guy as well. The bike does have its place, and it is interesting to say the least. Toughest part will always be the smell, sound, and history behind our beloved two and four strokes. I will continue to watch especially if it's Josh on the bike. We'll stay tuned, no pun intended.
Watts the big deal? Why's everyone so amped up? Ohm man, An E- dirtbike!!
Hah
Like every sports people don’t like big change and cry a little. Like F1 every 5 years.
I agree plus thd gas bike still beat the electric bike, if you look closely youll botice the gas bike has more speed and power than the electric bike
Emory Dean amped as in electric amps? Do I smell a pun.
Shocking isn't it
being electric, cant they hook up a speaker to it and just play a recording of a gas bikes BRAAP ?
hdrjunkie too bad they went bankrupt
Hdjunkie that's a stewpid idea
@@Levi-vf1fh Hey as long as it wasn't a STUPID idea, I'm good with that.
Just get a 2 stroke
Levi L Lol
One advantage is that you can now have tracks in built up suburban areas and there is nothing for kill joys to call the cops about because there is no" noise pollution".
IMO they should put a left hand rear brake on the bike, cause the finesse you get with that is insane compared to using a brake pedal with a stiff boot. Plus you can stay on the balls of your feet at all times when you don't have to worry about the rear brake pedal at all!
sound like a e-bicycle
Remember drivers have to learn to left foot brake, it's nothing new learning a new system and near everyone knows how to ride a pushbike.
you obviously dont ride.....
@@lukewarmwater6412 plenty of people have added a rear brake below the clutch lever
@@KyleMoran626 that would interfere with the compression release....which is almost better than a back brake.
3:45 king of 2 strokes makes an appearance. Ronnie is a legend.
it's beautiful and an amazing feat of engineering. but it still needs to be a two stroke.
"I havent been this amped up!!"...LOl he made a pun and didnt even know it.
How do you mix 2 stroke oil with electricity?? Asking for a friend!
I will yell ya rite now I aint never gana be into that dang electricaltricity dirtbikes or streetbikes....I gatta hear that motor rippin!

v Flinck true
Damn, that was freakin awesome. When he was on that 3rd race against Cunningham I literally started screaming at my computer cheering for him and jumped up and yelled when he won lol.
it would be cool to ride that thing at Sunset in the desert, all quiet & meditative
Justin Higgins all you would hear is the chain chattering and the tire would be so cool
adam gauthier yeah, pop-in some head phones and zone out
True that bro
A nice way of looking at it I guess
I would like to see electric motorcycles with ‘sound modes’: Stealth or Rumble. Gas engines have mufflers. An electric engine amplifier would appeal to audiophiles and may help sway those riders still on the fence for the sound factor.
Fans of this sport love the sounds of four strokes and two strokes. Why would we ever want to get rid of that sound?
Never really believed in electric bikes. But damn ur changing my mind.
that race had me hype!!! had me on the edge of my seat!!!
I don't know how a crowd could get as hyped if they were watching two silent bikes go over some bumps in a straight line. I think attendance will drop if they all go to electric.
yeah i agree ....love the technology but theres no replacing the sound and smells of the gas bikes gets the adrenaline flowing
Horatio Huffnagel
this technology will only increase people's interest
this will grow
Never thought of that. I think that'd be true. We'd have to find a way to keep it intense. Although, Formula E is still quite intense and fun to watch even though they're all just Electric Formula One cars.
Benjamin VonCannon so they will look it up on the internet. Not go to a show where the bikes are multiple yards in front of you.
How much hp added when you upgrade the exhaust??
Like 6hp I think
you don't get any HP when you add exhaust on any bike, one cylinder just needs a certain amount of back compression, cars are differant because they have more than one cylinder and one exhaust so you already start with too much back compression (compensated by egrs, recyclers, even a load on your engine will displace some air somewhere else besides the exhaust pipe, the only load you put on a bike is your ass)
ya dual exhaust
ya headers
ya they tried that on bikes to for some reason...
he was joking buddy, it doesn't have an exhaust. That was the point.
uhh bullshit look at dino's dude and then the aftermarket exhaust will help with the exact right back pressure and some bikes do have more than one cylinder. look at 2 strokes it is all about the exhaust
an he was joking dude it is an electric bike hence no exhaust
What do dinosaurs have to do with it?? Growls per second isnt really an accepted measurement bro...maybe try using a DYNO instead.
5:34 “Amped up” 🤣 Perfect word choice 👌
Seeing this makes me wanna go ride my trx250r & let the blue smoke fly
Pray the day never comes when YAMAHA starts producing only Electric motorsports 😦
Give it 10 years.. only a matter time with the way things are going. Unfortunately
I like to hear my engine not hear my battery notifications going off
Ethan Karlgaard well that’s tough, it’s gonna happen tho
@@BH-nf5lv i know its aggravating tho
It's on the way like it or not
Wow the comments are a cesspool. People get pretty defensive when they see some innovation in the field. I'll tell you one thing, no engine can match the torque an electric motor can put out, and electric motors can put it out at any speed. They have a long way to go to be running moto's, but its still really cool to see innovation.
For sure. Lots of people just don't like seeing change. Same thing happened when 4 strokes first started emerging.
Xunatic the problem is the way they go about promoting These products a lot of people that are into bikes are into quads and cars as well as gas powered remote control models and the attraction to them is the engine, the noise and most importantly the grease. Maintenance is half the fun for most gears heads. Upgrading is fun and make the ride unique to you with an electric motor the option to upgrade isn't possible really. They need to show that it could be another addition to mx not replace gas.
MrSnowrocks exactly
ahh we humans dont really care about change, we just love to blast our opinion espcially since we know that no one can stop us from running out and buying the latest thing even after we have said its of the devil. The freedom to call new stuff garbage is our most sacred right. Maybe there are people out there who will refuse to ride a bike that goes fast with a different motor than gas, but who really cares, the point is to have fun on a machine and that will not change just cause it dosent make noise or use gas.
a bike for rich snobs. 15grand, forget it
The most brutal and demanding format for motorcycle racing...is NOT Red Bull straight rhythm. That would actually be the Dakar Rally. I am interested in seeing these in competition, but without any kind of endurance they will remain little more than a novelty.
Ive got to say though, I hadn't seen a rhythm race like that before, and that looks gnarly as fuck to ride! Trying to imagine riding in that style on my mountain bike is mind boggling
I was lucky enough to see one of these on the track and they throw down big time!! Great design and power is not a problem. Nice work Hill.
Fuel,oil,noise. I like all those things. The rumble of a 4stroke is so badass.
The day had too come sooner or later !
Im a big bore 2 stroke man at heart but ive gotta admit that... when the owner of CataVolt offered me a ride on one of his dirtbikes... i pulled three good launches and il never forget the feeling of the twist throttle being a really defined Variable switch that allowed me to wheelstand the bike with the front wheel at any hieght i desired.
Old 2stroke guy says I hope they come up with a dual sport and spare batteries.
The sound of a gas dirtbike is half the fun.
Now try winning or even finishing an hours long enduro.
I wish Alta was still up and going, I would have loved to have such a bike!!
Sad Alta Motors went out of business, seems like they were ahead of their time
We need a GoFundMe page to bring Alta back!
I so agree with you, it would seem as though there would be willing sponsors that would be drooling with desire to invest in Alta........???...
Awesome!! love reading the old grumpy people complaints. gas sucks its only 20% efficient. The next generation is Electric so get out of the way.
Josh Taylor right cause there are no young people who like the sound and smell of a big block engine, mustangs, corvettes etc... not everyone is a tree hugger that's all.
Josh Taylor I'm 20 and fuck electric cars and bikes... The sound is a lot of the reason that makes them fun... There's no better sound than a 2jz supra making big boost and hearing that turbo spool then blow off valve! Do that on an electric car.
Josh Taylor, I'm 17 and the sound of my bike gets me going, that rumble of the engine is addicting, electric bikes have there place, don't force it on people.
Stuntihn MX and I'm sure you live your life a quarter mile at a time.
Josh Taylor all these "sound is awesome guys" are gonna be left in the dust eventually. because race teams don't care about that, they care about what goes faster, and that's what is gonna sell electric. kids growing up in the future are gonna look back and say, "why the fuck do I have to shift? your bike needed oil changes? it vibrated all the time? heat radiated through the fender? it smelled like gasoline?" the ICE lovers will always cling to the past, they'll be like those guys with a hotrod in their garage that they refuse to give up because nostalgia, few and far between.
Yo this had my heart POUNDING. I am an electric bike maker and to see this guy pull through made my day!
it's a whole new era us piston heads are looking at. We have to appreciate it. It's innovation and the future. With that said I think that when E motors come into play it will be paired with E motors. For our "obsolete" breed we will still have our class. To me there is nothing like the sound of a bike or a hard core built car... But we have to know that this is the new frontier in Motorsports. It will all be very exciting and frightening, kind of like graduating H.S. and the unknown is there, even tho we were very comfy lmao
I'm a huge 2 stroke fan, but can't wait to see where these electric bikes go as batteries and power plants get more compact!!
Yew , don't even get me started on walkers... I got a minibike when I was 10, and me and my friends spend hours every day for like 2 years to make nice trails along a creek in the woods, then came the walkers "You can't ride back here, that's not what these trails are for!". actually, its why they exist in the first place! I love that the elect. bike actually competed! so cool. does it have any sort of transmission?
doesn't need it.
Doesn't have any gears no, you only need a tranny with an IC engine to keep it in the power band. With an electric motor, it has 100% torque all the time, right from 0mph.
Fucking walkers, i know this all too well.
Even if an electric engine does not neccessarly need a transmission, it can get benefiticial if you want to increase in speed if you think through what type of transmission to use for the electric engine.
For example, the Rimac Concept_One has a two speed gearbox, even though there one for each wheel and those are mounted directly at the rear wheels. The gearboxes at the front wheels only got a single speed.
+okleydokley an IC engine dosent need a trans, but its also beneficial (highly). and I'm not an expert, but I didn't think any electric motors make 100% torque all the time, if so would they not just keep getting faster if you switched the signal fast enough? don't they make 100% at 0 rpm and drop from there? some electric things use transmissions...
Even though future is electric, I will still ride my 2 stroke Suzuki
Pabitri, You have an open mind. Like you, I will always love my 2 stroke. There is simply no other greater feeling than the snap of that power band, and that sweet tone of the exhaust. Unfortunately, Alta is out of business now, but I'm sure the big companies will take this technology to a new level. Personally, I love it! I remember when very small brushless motors were hand made by people in their garage, that would fit into RC Planes and Cars. The moment I installed one into one of my RC Planes back in 2003, hooked up to a Lithium Polymer battery, saw how insanely fast and powerful it was, and that it actually beat most of my gas RC planes and cars, I thought to myself, "This is it, this is the future of everything powered by gas." It will never take away anything from the internal combustion gas powered motors, it's just a new, very efficient way to produce the same power or even more power in some cases, of gas power.
me too
Won't happen
Good luck finding charge ports at your local mx track
What and have a 12 hour pit stops?
This is great. The real advantage is the fact that you do not have to worry what gear to hit a jump in. Just pin it and go. I would love to give one a shot.
Electric dirt bikes are changing everything, It's the future of Moto-cross and enduro events. LET'S ROLL!!!
I'm only ok with these existing if it allows us to ride more places
That is very possible. Alot of places ban bikes from the noise alone. The fact that its "clean" should help its case.
ABCDE FGHIJK smokers thought the same thing about e-cigs. It was true for about a year, now they are largely treated the same.
the engine noise is just the current gripe that bans our bikes. The haters will find new gripes to keep us away.

Electric has instantaneous torque right off the bottom. Electric bikes could be the new thing in motocross if they can get the batteries to last. For longer races I don’t know,battery technology still may not be far advanced enough for other purposes,we’ll have to wait and see.
can I tow a generator behind me to recharge the battery on longer rides?
😂
Nice lol I'd strap a little 1000 watt 2 stroke the fender 😂😎
toadamine and
I was wondering what the brother was talking about. The electric bike could go where dirt bikes couldn't. I thought, what about a long distance trail ride..
I remember seeing these guys riding these on the street near the corporate office as I did a delivery 2years ago. now this!!!
What a cool concept in heads up moto racing. This is one thing lacking in motocross and supercross...two guys battling it out fresh in a sprint instead of one guy passing another whos worn out or suffering from arm pump.
They need to time the racers on their bike and then time them on the electric. That's the real test.
i love the sound of a 2 stroke
nothing like a Wankel at 10,000 rpm
Nah i like four stroke because they are faster and have more power and are not annoying like a two stroke
Eragon Shadeslayer false
Pain what’s false about his statement?
@@pendejo312 he is saying 4 strokes are not faster a 250 2 stroke will dust a 250 4 stroke
Man this is real progress. I wish I was 20 years younger so I could ride one of these babies when they come into the market
Start saving now and put me in your will.
I get it People don't like change but Kudos to the great team work and dedication on building this Bike ... I look forward to see what the future holds for you all .
In racing you really do want the noise of an engine though.
what for?
it would
cool to see a cruiser like a harley style or a street comp as well
soon they will be remote controlled, no rider needed! lol
Amazing!! GZ for Alta Motores André Josh Hill!
Epic night for the manufacturers and Hill pulled it out of the bag for sure
Electric bikes need their own circuit
Who wants to watch this if there is nothing to listen? Imagine if there are two electric bikes racing against each other. History? Sad history!
@Sanjay singh MX racing does not take place in the city, so calm down. How ist your love for electric bikes founded? Just by "electric revolution" or by emotion? You were never really interested in MX racing, you never inhaled it.
imagine dual hub motors, that are instantly reversible with the same amount of torque. the electric bikes are the future of stunt bikes. total aerial attitude control is possible.
“I’m just amped up” I see what he did there 😂
I wonder how long it last on a charge and don't forget eventually you going to start losing power when the voltage gets To a certain point just like an RC cars
I'm all for new mx bikes but 2 stokes must stay and bring back the 500 2 strokes.
one truth I’m all for it as well but........ like you said there’s just no substitute for a big bore 2 stroke , it don’t matter what color it is
Yep right on I've been saying that for years!! my last one was a 90 cr 500 what a Beast.. I'm not knocking electric, but having a charging cycle that last a full Motocross race? isn't feasible at this time. the smell of two strokes in the early morning oh yeah...
Of course it's California that makes an electric MotoGP bike.
Who would have ever guessed
Ayrton Coetzee and electric motors dominate gas motors
California laws are gonna ruin this world
"We developed the most advanced power train technology in transportation today"... pretty bold words. Going to have to doubt that.
This is a excellect idea and show of what the future holds!
The idea of going out having fun without anybody having to say a thing about noise is fantastic.
I have four electric scooters i take camping for the kids to fly around without complaints from anybody.
No noise ,just laughing is heard or the high pitch whine of the motor/chain going by.
Please keep going
anyone whos changed a head gasket or piston rings will love this. working on dirty engines sucks balls
o0bananaman0o nope that's half the fun is taking care of your bike......
Just thinking of handwinding stators. Or going in and hacking software.
But thats my job and i love my job
Hey bro wanna ride Nah i cant my bike is dead ill go plug it in
exactly the same as filling up petrol, you'll have a spare battery in your trunk or garage if you need it.
TheGrundigg imagine calling gas petrol 💀
Kinda seems unfair bc electric bikes don’t have to worry about shifters and clutch during race
Fletcher you must have trouble carrying on a conversation while tying your shoe.
Less is more :)
Yea it will be like the all riders ready on the throttle then pull lol
Correct me if I'm wrong. Technically, vehicles with electric motors should be able to run perpetually with only just an initial charge. Since it has its own charging mechanism, the system will be able to re-charge the batteries while the motor is running. Recharging offline may just be needed if the charging system failed or the batteries run dry for some reason. Is this a correct observation?
Perpetual motion doesn't exist atm. With your logic even phones and all other electricals should run off one charge if they have a self charging mechanism
You’re correct to an extent
rilstajb he’s not talking about perpetual motion he’s talking about what’s called regenerative braking.
yes you are indeed wrong.
@@mvstahl1233 You cant recoup as much energy that is used running the bike. There are too many inefficiencies. And he mentions perpetually in the second sentence and is implying perpetual motion
It's amazing a development bike could even remotely keep up.with never the less beat pro tuned machines is amazing. Electric delivers power in a highly effective manner.
The sound of that bike just makes me sick to my stomach.
That's how I felt about 4 strokes when they were given special treatment (more max CC's) to compete.
Gay, no braap, no skill, no clutch, no shifting, you gotta charge it forever, to not even ride that long, if it breaks down, you can't repair it like a 2 stroke or 4 stroke. No maintenance, which some people like but I hate, as a dirt bike owner, I take pride in the fact that my bike has been running strong for years because I maintain it. Also, I love doing work on my bike. And these electric bikes are so expensive. True dirt bike fans, will love gas and hate electric.
And what is supposed to break down on that thing?
TH-cam User the battery. You tit.
Newtus minder then replace it
Eh I’ll keep my 2 stroke and my manhood lol
Yep
Right On!👍
04:35 that bike went to flat no complaints! impressive.
Also, these companies can fill all he races they want with electric bikes...
... doesn't mean anyone will show up to watch a silent race
I really hope dirt bikes do not go electric because electronics aren't reliable when you need them the most so I say no to the electric dirt bike and I like the sound of the 4 and 2 strokes
Electronics are far more reliable than than mechanical parts under high stress. Electric maintanence is virtually non-existent.
Why did they compete in such a short race?? Simple, the battery was zapped afterwards. The bike can't carry enough juice and keep weight down, to compete in a longer race. The same issues electric cars battle, distance. You can take your gas bike and ride all weekend at the dunes with just a few cans in the truck. A new type of battery will have to be invented to unseat petro bikes.
Scott Witkowski that battery technology will come. I think electric is the future and i welcome it.
.....but i will miss combustion engine sound
Scott Witkowski I’ve seen electric cars go from coast to coast stopping three times for a recharge and I was at show and got to demo one of these, or something like it and they didn’t charge it all day with hundreds of people riding it so don’t nit pick something like maybe it wasn’t a short race and it was just editing but if you don’t agree with what there doing than don’t watch the fucking video
I wonder what Ronnie Mac what say about this new electric bike?
Ronnie Mac would say one thing (2 stroke till the cows come home), Jimmy Albertson would have a different opinion.
You got the frame so it can take the punches. The weight ratio balance is important. Very nice.
Im blown away that alta bike has balls keeping up with rm 250s and what ever those souped up 2 strokes are its crazzy
The clutch and shifter separates the men from the boys, now with these stupid bikes every poser is going to be out on the trails because it's easy.
I learnt how to ride a bike with gears and a clutch when i was 4. Just because you think its cool and different doesnt mean its challenging
They said the same thing about electric start too....stick to your vintage class racing...
Just wait for Ronnie Mac to show up and that E-bike will get smoked by his Cr
2 stroke for life... just can’t beat the power and speed and sound and smell
the dude sits there watching his pit crewman, try to tie the bike down and sort out the strap in one hand and balance the bike in the other
HOLD THE BIKE FOR YOUR CREWMAN CHOADE!!!!
The would get rid of teh terrifying sound of a 10 2 strokes screaming
Nwigger Watch, you’ll be seeing electric motorcycles with ‘sound modes’: Stealth or Rumble. Gas engines have mufflers. An electric engine amplifier would appeal to audiophiles and may help sway those riders still on the fence for the sound factor.
I get that this is new technology, but I would take an old yz 250 over this any day
you cant ride it on MTB trails, what is this guy talking about
its quiet so yes you can cause on one is gonna hear you! lol
@@surfshack9523 until you get fined for breaking the rules/ piss mountain bikers off for tearing up their trails. also, most mtb trails arent fun on a MX bike because they are too narrow and twisty so you have to go slow. Just get a pedal bike if you want to ride MTB trails
