Head to Head race with the XE4 and the Stark.
The First Official Electric Bike Race of FTR was held at the Fox Hair Scramble on 9-14-2024.
Florida Trail Riders is the largest off road club in the US, with thousands of members.
The Electric Bike race was Saturday afternoon and started with 11 E Bikes on the start line.
One XE4, Four Starks, a couple Surron sized bikes and a custom RM.
The E Class started on the 8th Line so racers had to maneuver thru a hundred slower riders, big mistake.
With the sandy conditions we decided to swap batteries during the race and
After one hour and 5 minutes the result was a second place for Shawn on the XE4,
fifty seconds behind Linkin Bischoff, AA rider. Jacob Kapostins 3rd, Thunder McHaffie 5th both on Starks.
We quickly addressed the issue with stealthy bikes and AA riders coming up behind average
riders in the Saturday Afternoon race. Getting a Safety rule change to move the class to row 3
behind the Junior A riders. May make the race a bit faster and longer.
Because of all the Hurricane damage to our state and riding areas, all races had been postponed.
Next weekend will be the first race after a long pause.
With the changes we made to the XE4 over the break, we are looking to come out on top this time.
