A club I am involved with had the yearly hare scramble and there were a few electric motorcycles entered.  I am putting a link to the results for the 11:00 race which is the C class and the Juniors (Who in some cases have already been promoted to B or A) women, sportsman (no trophy).  The guy on a surron shows up in place 82 and said according to another club member still had 20% left.  There must also be one or two kit conversions that show up as Honda or Yamaha or something else.  Navigate to Lumberjack June 7 2026 novice overall if my link comes up somewhere else.

The complaint is with the start.  I am guessing they just twist and go while the others have a dead engine start.  My KTM freeride has a starter button essentially and would not really have an advantage if the thing was on and waiting for the button to be pushed.  It takes 10 or more seconds to be able to push the start button after the key is turned or kill switch on the handlebar is put to off and then on.  It is like a wave start 20 or so at a time a minute apart.

ive seen numerous e motorcycles ./ bikes that are using 48 volts and some of these things are just crazy insane what they can do. even with a simple pancake / manta motor onit, it's crazy the power they have.

if the thing was turned off, turning it on, you still have to enable it, bla bla, that complaint is petty, but quite predictable when someone has nothing else to explain away their inferiority   if that became a thing, they could easily put a switch circuit in there to put an extra second or two on or whatever an ice takes to kick off.  to make it about the same as turning the key on an ice bike.  hell even the energica pressing the button it takes a second or two to go green. about the same as turning a key on an ice bike, so don't see the problem.  shrug.

love seeing things like this where people are making electric work.  the more we can get out there, tbe more support we will eventually have.
