Title: Bonell dirt bikes. Interesting features
Post by: NEW2elec on January 23, 2026, 11:32:00 AM
Dirt bikes aren't that big on here but this is clearly the growing segment for electric motorcycles.
Very interesting features that would be great for any style bike.

The nice thing about electric dirt bikes is that they are quiet and will not irritate the neighbors when you ride them.  :)

13:50   taper design that we are working on a patent for

The basic idea that can be and has been purchased has been on discussion forums for a while.  I thought it involved a smaller actual bearing which does kind of look like a smallish race.

He acts like there are actual series to enter that require the lanyard.

When I saw that mountain bike I thought their dirt bikes would just be the usual Surron copies like what Zero did, but those seem like serious Varg competitors. If they made a road legal 902, depending on price, it could be a tough choice between that and the Varg (non-road legal bikes don't interest me much because I don't have anywhere to use them). It is a little down on battery capacity but maybe they could increase that by making it fixed. I really like the idea of the electronic clutch, just hold the throttle and use that lever to pop the front end up, and being able to customise the lever's function in general.

Just got to the end of the video and they're saying cheaper than a Varg, I'm surprised. I know it's expensive for a dirt bike but for what it is I've always thought it was decent. Perhaps Zero's ridiculous pricing in comparison has ruined my perception.
