Tell them no.

I think it depends also on the impression that those people give you, even though I've seen intelligent well to do people becoming idiots once they started twisting a throttle and I've witnessed it multiple times.

Well, one thing that you can do is that you can limit the power to something not crazy and let them trying it; it's also a good way to help Stark Future and, ultimately, ourselves. Most likely, most of them will like it.

On the other hand, I also understand that if someone falls and pierces the battery falling on a rock, it will be quite a problem and that it's your right to choose not to let them riding it. In this case, I suggest that you don't let anybody trying it or it will look rude to anybody who won't be allowed to.

Don't you forget though, that, as far as I know, the referral program is still valid. If you mention it to those people and any of those people ends up buying a new bike, you can earn money.

I often end up in the seat of their bike at the same time. If they do something idiotic i might just forget not to drop the clutch.

When I got my first Alta I was at a dealer of other dirt bikes north of where I live. The owner's son was a very accomplished woods racer and friend who wanted to try an electric bike on their hare scramble track. I figured he was not going to be hard on it as he didn't put on a helmet and he was wearing shorts and a T-shirt at the time. When he didn't come back, I began to get worried. He rode up a few minutes later with a dazed look on his face. He said "Al, I broke your bike." I laughed and then noticed the blood and dirt on multiple places on his body. He had come around a rocky corner in map 4 and nailed it. The rear tire spun out as the front got light and it slammed him onto the trail. He broke off the foot peg and grip which they replaced from the shop. The bigger part though, was he ended up in the hospital with a concussion and patchwork for the multiple cuts, scrapes, and bruises. I would never have expected a rider of his caliber going down , but it can and does happen.
