We have our own @Marko_Flux hare! https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/flux-performance-emx-startup-from-europe.2370/

Heavy equipment noise means someone is working. But noisy dirt bikes means someone is having too much fun, which is obviously completely unacceptable! 😤

So it's the gas cars that are actually slower and they also try to cheat.

Full power -- no, and you do not want it! Full torque -- yes, you can get it. But that torque is limited by the (adjustable) traction control, which is what you also want to have on an electric bike. Else it will be just a drift/loop-out monster.

Ah, okay. I remember reading about the 1-foot "rollout” in Road & Track. This applies to both gas and electric vehicles. Just a silly drag racing math. The EVs do not have any inherent advantages or disadvantages here.

I am not sure what you mean here. Tesla and other EVs (the Alta Redshift) can theoretically give you the full horsepower at zero speed. But that would be an infinite torque at zero speed. The bike will be rideable. You will either spin up the tire or instantly loop out. EV DIYourselfers know...

Almost forgot! Having no clutch in the mud is an absolute godsend! Last time I had to ride my Alta on a muddy track I enjoyed it like a kid, hahaha! The Alta's maps are not good for the loose and fluffy sand. Too much wheelspin. A heavy sand is fine. But with more traction control options...

The "light feel" of a bike (and a car too), besides the obvious weight of the vehicle, also largely depends on the stiffness of the suspension springs and the tuning of the dampers. The softer the springs, the less compression damping, the more rebound damping -- the heavier the bike will feel...

I personally do not miss the clutch at all with my 50hp Alta MXR. I don't think you'd need a clutch on a 60hp or 80hp dirt bike if you have all those horses available instantly at the twist of a wrist. Most 450cc riders like to lug the motor, which generates less than 50hp if they are under...

Do not forget that whatever you write on the bike must be italicized in order to work properly and add to the top speed.

This makes sense. But how can this make sense? Out bikes feel like a 450 only when you have to physically lift them because they weigh the same. But subjectively, when riding, there is no comparison to any 4-stroke. I think when cornering they are easier to toss side-to-side than even a 250cc...

"Heavy"... The bike actually feels lighter than a 250cc bike when riding. It is only heavy if you pull on the bars to loft the front wheel or lift the entire bike on the bike stand.

Just as my 3-year Motocross Action subscription was about to expire with almost no chance of renewal from me, they posted this teaser! Still, not much of info here, but at least some recognition from old-school mainstream paper press. That's good.

I am guessing about 10 - 15% faster. https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/alta-redshift-mxr-and-mx-on-a-dyno-riding-maps-demystified.158/page-2#post-1489

It's an air brake. Also, it speeds up the turn-in when youi put the leg back onto the footpeg.

Why don't these oval road racers just learn to ride the berm/rut like all motocross racers do??? Sit on the tank, weight on the outside peg, left leg stretched far forward!

More similar clashes in supercross whee an intelligent speed-sensitive steering stabilizer could have helped:

Power steering on a motocross bike! Wow! I love the Yhamaha's constant engineering innovation. https://motocrossactionmag.com/yamahas-prototype-electronic-power-steering-stabilizer-for-motocross/ Apparently Honda is also testing an electronic steering damper on their factory bikes. I am not...

When could I buy it, and how much would it cost???
