Thanks for the input.
My question originated from a discussion I was in regarding ICE MX bikes and the popularity of E MX bikes. Some guys are open to them and some guys hate them. I'm open to any kind of bike and would love an MX E bike for its' lack of noise, especially, but I argued against his stand that MotoE racers were in communication by radio with their crew. He thought Moto E bikes communicated like Nascar, and because racers can't hear other bikes approaching, there were spotters around the track telling them where other riders were? Kind of embarrassed to have responded to that thread, but it had to be done, haha.
Thanks again.

Actually, the claim I read was that spotters, not flaggers, are in place to assist each rider of the whereabouts of another? NASCAR allows radio communication, but is illegal in MotoGP.
Does Moto E allow any type of communication (radio, spotters around the track, etc...) besdies the pit to the rider?

Thanks Jaime. Great point about Moto GP bikes being loud, I see what you mean...

I was reading a discussion about e bikes being used in motocross, and I'm compiling info from the track towards good intel for allowance of e bikes in MX. Those against them feel the lack of noise will cause issues because a racer might not know another bike was nearby? I don't feel this way, I can sense another rider on the track a few different ways, but there is a huge bias against electric bikes in mx.

Another claim is that Moto E racing has spotters around the track to communicate info to the racers during an event, I'm not sure if they mean by radio, pit boards, etc...do you have any insight on this?

Thanks, Tony

Curious about Moto E racing. With the bikes being so quiet, are there any types safety measures in place to let riders know where other racers are? Mostly you can hear a bike by the motor revving, I've heard there are spotters to warn riders who is approaching?

Thanks in advance
