2025 Electric Honda CR: Close-up look at the details of the new-generation motocross bike 

Solid rundown of the E situation. Bravo.

Awesome video !!!

My shopping list for 2025, the new DUC and this.

$10k would be perfect! I need it now!

No chance for hydrogen combustion in dirt bikes. Fuel storage is not space efficient. Not to mention the pressures involved. Also the engine power is way down.

Good report! Hard to watch you being so out of shape though, do your heart, joints and family a solid and start exercising. 15 mins 5 days a week will do wonders :) then we will have you around longer for good reports like this 🎉

For a person who rides for enjoyment and loves motocross bikes , this will be the ultimate purchase. I hope it's cheaper than the Stark and lighter in weight , good on you Honda for the option.

I'd get it if I could ride it anywhere, road included, my 1 acre between houses, track, local races. See if it truly opens more riding places.

What’s going to be interesting with the adoption of EV MX is the education of the technology along the way… Some fundamentally wrong statements / suggestions in this video - hydrogen? sodium? sending children to mines? I would suggest putting the newspapers down and really reading up on the subject, for example like Hydrogen energy density. It’s an absolute non starter for motocross. Also worth exploring NMC vs LFP battery chemistry regarding colbalt “issue”. LFP will be a real game changer for Tesla and the like. Also worth noting last year CATL announced a 500 wh/kg battery. don’t be surprised if you see new Electric MX bikes in 5 years with batteries half the size & weight they are now…

If there is an S model with lights and DOT tires to connect the trails they won’t be able to make enough!

The battery would not last in moto cross races no matter how fast it is....

The next chapter in motocross will be the bikes will be piloted by AI

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 underneath Honda it says, made by Fisher-Price power wheels

Honda needs to get this s*** done double time!

Motocross wasn't ment to be easy!

I will never watch any race again if that will be the future.

Bring back the CR 500! Please!

The end of motorsport as we know it .

Commenting about needing gas for a generator is the most pathetic jab at electric bikes , people think they are being smart by saying it because they think people buy these bikes to be "green" . Reality is no dirtbikes give a fuck about riding these to avoid gas usage , they ride them for the superior riding experience so find a better , more intelient way to have a jab at them. Oh and your gas bikes all have electric motors in them by the way

i hate all this ev stuff because the climate discussion and ev tech is so politicized needlessly and as a hobbyist electrical engineer I see many problems with ev tech in general BUT I loved this video! simple straightforward and overall great production quality, easy to watch, and it was very informative compared to most e bike discussion videos. the issue I have with these new e dirbtikes other than the fact that I think a lot of climate stuff is trash is that they are incapable of doing most riding styles. a gas bike has a clutch and transmission so any gas bike can do enduro, single track, mx, you name it! some are better than others but they are all capable. the problem with bldc motors and ev tech is that contrary to popular belief bldc motors do not make even close to a flat power curve. bldc motors SHOULD make basically zero low end power, so little in fact that they should need a push or a shove somewhat to get moving. current creates heat exponentially and thus in order to maintain decent efficiency and to avoid overheating motors need to limit the peak current draw to a specific limit. now not only can ou calculate from wattage but also from rpm and torque you can see that the horsepower output is next to nothing at low rpms. I realized this would take way to long to explain but the basic idea is that a bldc motor should have very steep 45 degree power increase throughout the first 20-40ish percent of the rev range until it reaches a peak output, then from there are back emf starts to challenge input voltage too much the output very slowly drops off reulting in a slow downward curve until no power is produced. most of these bikes are designed so that the advertised max speed is set so that its power output will be around 3/4 or 4/5 of the max power output. overall a natural power curve is very steep (almost no low end power) for the first 20-40 percent of the rev range, and then mostly flat from then onto max speed. now as you can see this doesnt add up much with e bike videos since you will see people spinning the back tire from a stop or doing hard enduro at slow speeds on their e dirtbike. this is the problem. these bikes intentionally overdraw current by a factor of several times to achieve this power output, fi they didnt then the bike would suck and never compete against gas. this overdraw damages the batteries, esc, motor, and overall is oftentimes les than 5 percent efficient resulting in insane heat output. I will never buy a single speed e bike (unless its for high speed supermoto or motocross) because these brands all lie and make their bikes destroy themselves for power and nobody knows this since very few people know electrical engineering.

Bla bla bla

Electric is here to stay!!!

Maybe they can add an artificial sound device to mimic a gas engine exhaust - preferably 2 stroke

Another manufacturer joing this Fad , when it finally happens then the sport will die a death , tho just like ev cars that are not selling world wide, they'll soon be another dinosaur ..

I would.

Junk. I'm never getting one.

DONT CARE IF IT'S FASTER.

Synthetic fuel can provide a future to gas bikes.

Junk

This will be the death of motocross as a popular spectator sport. It's my prediction that spectators would eventually decline by upto 50%. The whole point of motorsport is to engage with the sound of the engine , the rev's and the gear changes e.t.c. Motocross moving towards electric bikes is an absolute tragedy. If the woke people of this world continue to get their way everything will be banned and we will all be forced to live our sports and hobbies through a playstation !!

Thanks Biden!!!

Don't call it a cr you're disgracing the name electric junk

Honda stopped developing the CRF four stroke for atleast 10 years now. They just let it stagnant and concentrated on a future electric bike.

Lol you're so salty about electric bikes. It's not about going green, dude. It's about noise pollution and ultimately about going faster.

I see a stark, i unfollow

No.

Gay.

Absolutely horrible
