Short notice but I just saw it and thought some members would be interested.  It's August 13 2022 so yeah next weekend.

Here's the info video from Electric cycle Rider's YT channel.

I mean... the options are kinda limited. What are they gonna have? Some Sur Rons and an Alta?

[Fred]

Maybe also a race-winning off road SR/F?

Yeah that would end in tears and fail the course in ~5 seconds.

Super anemic stats. Doubt many people have imported them to the US.

And KTM

Also hard to import into the US

And Zero FX

Not ready for this sort of thing. Suspension not up to snuff and the frames have been known to crack under this style of riding.

It feels like a simple trial run while they wait for the pack of Vargs in the next year or so.

I thought they were selling the Storm Bee already in the US but it doesn't seem to be the case yet.

Maybe Altas, Sur Ron Lite Bees, KTM Freerides and perhaps a modified FX.

I wish them luck and hope it sparks some interest.

Seems like Electric Cycle Rider is sort of behind getting this race going.  This video shows what he is thinking of using for the race.
Again my 14 year old self REALLY wants one of these, but my old bones say nope.

Storm demos are just getting to dealers; dealers are apparently taking pre-orders at $10k for delivery end of this month.

[NEW2elec]

Ok then, they'll be here pretty soon.

See if they catch on here in the US.

And to wrap up here's some race footage.  Those rocks are no joke.

So an Electric Motion brand came in 1st and 3rd with a prototype Yamaha chassis getting second.

Full results need accept cookies from what I found.

Both FIM and AMA sanctioned.  Is that for the pro level or the electric portion as well?  Something like 21 entered and 16 finished.  I see from some of the video above is nice track that would get chewed up soon not sure how much of the sections could be walked through, something an electric motorcycle is superior for ime.

Well I thought the last video would be THE last video but here is some post race footage of most of the racers and which bikes they used and how they were set up.

There was one Storm Bee racing as well.
