Who’s going to try one of these on a snowbike first?

4 times the torque of a 450.
50 hp no matter the elevation.

No runability issues.

45 minute run time would suck lol.

No sound, no worries about starting.

I can see myself getting one someday. If not for a snowbike, for trail riding. Not a bad price either, under $12K.

I would be all over it for at least 4 hours... But at the maximum power setting they are switching batteries between motos.. which is a pain.. plus crazy pricy... On trail maybe 40 miles.. again useless for me... Just need better battery tech... As my son goes through top ends ever 15 hours racing his 85 I wish they would make a mini bike... Imagine all the time

Looks very interesting. And no oil changes! Wow, 147 ft lbs torque.

Last comment I know the cars have issues here in the winter... The batteries get cut down by 25 percent or more ...so we need better battery tech.

You would need crazy battery life for a snowbike application. Not like going down the trail. You would be using max torque way more than on tires which means way less battery life. Going to be years before something viable comes along that is electric. Will be interesting to see what happens first. 100hp dedicated snowbike engine or electric with enough energy storage.

I agree. These bikes are amazing and would totally work if you were riding from your back door and didn’t mind a 1/2 hr or 1 hr ride. But for all day riding we would need 3-4 times the battery density. Some guys would need 10x more. I wonder if 10-20% efficiency gains in the track kit are possible?

At least no one would argue about Gearbox v/s CVT

zero

my bother had a ZERO off road bike a couple of years ago.

The zero was a smaller bike than shown in this video, and only weighed about 180 lbs. For a half hour on tight trails in gentle terrain you could school anybody on their full sized bike, its was an absolute riot.

then without warning................done, put a fork in it. We wore down the battery pack in the couple of years he owned it.
