Motorcycles, or more specifically off road motorcycles is an interesting one.
KTM, GasGas, Scorpa and Oset are all getting in at the early stages of the game, and in the case of Oset, what a great success that they are having within the youth trials market. They are also great value for money when compared with say the Stealth Bomber. It does seem that 45 -60 mins of use is the norm, and hopefully this aspect will improve over time.
One thing that did make me laugh, and not so much in a good way, is the negative comments that petrol engined trials riders have written in respect of people buying and using electric motorcycles. The comments read read in the same way that pedal mtb riders slate e-mtb riders. What's that all about!
As I see it, electric off road bikes have broadened the whole market appeal, and opened up significant possibilities for new venue's of use, closer to urban area, with non of the anti social noise. I look back to my childhood with embarrassment, for of tearing around public woodland etc on a Maico and CZ motocross bike, I must have had some very tolerant neighbours. Not sure that I would have been so tolerant.
