Hi, I'm new to the forums.  Name is Dave Millier, i'm in Toronto, Canada.  I'm in the process of setting up an off-road motorcycle training school, and I want to use electric motorcycles as much as possible to train new riders.  I'm looking for suggestions on which off-road motorcycles you would suggest that I consider using for the training.  Ideally i'd have a few different size bikes, both for different size riders and for riders with different capabilities.  The training would last for a full day, but realistically speaking the students would only use the bikes for 1 to 1.5 hours of actual seat time throughout the day.

If you have any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, i'd really love to hear your input, I've looked at a few different bikes so far, but i'm hoping you folks here have some ideas to help point me in the right direction!

Look forward to your insights, thanks in advance!!!

Hi Dave,

Zero FX is really light and easy to maneuver off road with single batt pack and tuned down controller settings.   Then turn up to sport mode for advanced riders. 

On the down side the seat height is intimidating for new or short riders and range is limiting but if you running loop coarse you can have extra batteries on chargers.  Battery swaps are really easy and fast on the FX.   

Not having to deal clutch and transmission is like an easy button in many difficult of road riding situations.
