Hi Electric Dirt Riders!
Hypothetically speaking, a dirt bike manufacturer wants to make a premium electric motocross/enduro bike with cutting-edge tech and top-level components. Which one would you reserve with a deposit? Share your choice by voting in the poll above and share why you picked it in the comments!
Bike 1: 253 lbs (115 kg); 10.0 kWh; 60-70 hp bike with a fixed battery
- The fixed battery can be fast-charged.
Bike 2: 231 lbs (105 kg); 6.0 kWh; 60-70 hp bike with a swappable battery
- The bike with a 6.0 kWh battery will cost $1K less.
- Additional 6.0 kWh swappable batteries would cost $3K and weigh 55 lbs (25kg). This battery may experience an earlier derating and a faster degradation if it's pushed past 50 hp.
- Larger 8.0 kWh swappable batteries would cost $4K and weigh 73 lbs (33kg). The bike with this larger battery would weigh 249 lbs (113kg).
