Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

[Oded]

Ty Tramaine finished the first prologue day in 43rd place, and Lyndon - 101.
Very nice results. Placing them in the front rows for the main event.
However, tommorow, they (and everyone else) have a chance to improve their times.

That link does not seem to work anymore. Could you maybe locate the original non-facebook link?

Impressive, said they can change the battery in 5 minutes and the battery is a 30% increase over last year. Look forward to seeing how they do in the final, but it sounds like only Ty will be competing, since each rider needs two batteries and they only have 2. Sucks that Lyndon's stuff was never recovered.

 

[Philip]

the battery is a 30% increase over last year

I wonder where he got that number, and what it means.

I wonder where he got that number, and what it means.

Absolutely no clue. I am thinking it may be a future tech battery, but only going on what was said in the video. He may also be referencing a MXR battery and he is just quantifying the additional ability to provide power. Just something he said in the video which may or may not be accurate and I definitely don't have any inside info.

 

[Philip]

Honcho said there is was no black magic in the Lyndon's bikes, and I would assume this applies to the Ty's bikes as well. The MXR battery produces 25% more power, so this must be it.

 

[Kurlon]

I'm thinking it's the MXR not throttling back power till the pack is at a lower charge compared to the MX, so 30% more usable without being throttled capacity?

 

[Oded]

Tremaine final position in the prologue is 48, placing him in the first row for the main event. This guy have skills!

I am pretty sure the 30% increase is not accurate..

I watched that entire “Scramble Talk”... it should have been called KTM talk, not one single mention about this being the first time an electric bike enters this race.

I’m watching the race now, they were literally RIGHT NEXT to Ty on the starting line and they decided to go back a few rows and talk to amateurs and completely ignored him. Redbullsh$t.

Miscalculated? I’m sure the full story will come soon. 30 minutes in I think they said he was 17th. Zero footage on the broadcast. Three mentions and an interview with Lyndon is all they gave us.

Any information about what happened? The battery was shot sooner than expected?
