I wouldn't be too concerned about overheating. There is a fan and no load is hardly any heat.

Double post, but probably better in this topic: As for the vibration. I've had simular effect of that from rimlocks on multiple bikes. Wheels that are very off balance can have weird effects that don't seem to correspond with wheel speed. On my Beta 250 it was the worst and from memory indeed...

As for the vibration. I've had simular effect of that from rimlocks on multiple bikes. Wheels that are very off balance can have weird effects that don't seem to correspond with wheel speed. Might want to give balancing a shot. Isn't that expensive and makes running it on the street a better...

No in many cases you actually want the rear brake effect, not the engine brake/regen. With the rear brake the rear gets pulled down. In je corner that is extra grip (the whole reason MX riders use it). Downhill that means less tilting forward and thus less crashing. Regen/engine brake makes you...

No because engine brake and actual brake do the opposite for your rear suspension and squad.

There is not much weight to shave off. The battery and motor is where the mass is, the rest is pretty much as light as it gets.

Almost all have a relais. Relais click.

Most do, but often the exhaust is too loud.

I like the idea, hate the execution.

They have been doing this on KTM Freerides for a while. Great fun instead of karting!

Good point! They could make it look foolish while at it. A soundbox strapped to it, acentric motor to shake it etc etc. They can easily make 5 maps that have curves like gears. I'm planning to do that as soon as i get an EX. In the premium subscription you should be able to do that and i've...

I did some allready and am €900 in. If someone from around the Netherlands is up to this just let me know. We should keep it a bit believe worthy.

That's a good price for actual protection!

Another few small ones: - Lock on grip on the left side. Nobody does it, but adds just that little bit more premium. - Frame protectors. MX boots rub past the frame and make the bike look old and heavily used within days. At least sell them as an option. Not all EX's have that. I have a demo...

Yeah somehow the big brands see X specs sell for Y euro's. They see a good business case and developing for 5 years and come with bike X and put pricetag Y on it. However the market has moved on 5 years. Livewire from Harley Davidson is the exact same I rode the current gen Freeride E. It's a...
