There was a 12 Hour Endurance race that took place at Desert Park Raceway on May 24-25, 2025. I wasn't endurance racing the WR250E but I took it so I can see how well it does on a tighter kart track. I've only raced it on a nascar oval supermoto race and it doesn't not like that highspeed stuff. However I found out the WRE is much better on a kart track check it out! This bike's short gearing, lightweight, and low center of gravity makes this one fun bike to ride on the track. I could only imagine how much more fun this bike would be with supermoto wheels.

I rode the WR250E on the dirt course but the track wasn't groomed at all so it wasn't much fun without knobbies


After I rode the dirt course I hopped back on the asphalt and rode in Mode 1 (10.5kw) and Mode 2. I rode 6 Laps Asphalt with KLX140, CRF230, FS450 on the track. You'll see how the WRE stacks up against those different bikes.


I let my teammates Owen and Errol ride the bike and they liked it.

For the most part the WR250E did great at the track. It looks like the battery and motor can handle racing on the track at race pace for 10 laps. If I wanted to race it I probably could but it's not fast enough to keep up with 450 maybe a 250. I just have to watch the heat on the motor and battery. Luckily I didn't have any heat problem until I let Eroll ride it. I didn't realize I had 3 people ride the bike almost back to back and it overheated the battery.
