I'm not sure how you're expected to get an extension cable up a green lane!

At 90 minutes ride time, you'd not even make it round a race either as normally several hours long!

Odd idea if you ask me - bandwagon? Confused

Not motocross races, which I expect is what it's initially aimed.
Some interesting possibilities, but what I'm currently thinking about is a 2 wheel drive hybrid with an electric front hub motor Smile.
So far I think I'd prefer a lighter and less powerful electric push bike you can still peddle home, rather than the limited larger bikes.

Does it come with a pack of Strepsils to cure the sore throat from having to go RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR yourself?

Or a simulated gear lever to stop you getting bored?

although not KTM, here is a review of the Zero S electric motorbike on LondonBikers

https://londonbikers.com/articles/11934/zero-s-two-wheeled-commuting-of-the-future

i did the photographs for it last year, and took a test ride. although extremely silent (like, no noise at all from the 'engine') it was still very fun!! it does feel weird but very easy to ride, almost like an electric pushbike lol but faster Smile
