Electric to me isnt here to take over….it’s here to ADD to….now we can ride by the house where we couldn’t with ICE. Is it better than all other bikes….In some aspects, but not in all. Let’s just think of adding another tool to our belt…nothing is going to replace all the other tools in our belt but there is always room for more!!!
This. There’s so many people saying “this is the way of the future” or “in 5 years we’ll all be riding one”. Speak for yourselves. I’m young and wasn’t around for the transition from 2t to 4t in motocross, but I feel like there was a lot a similar feelings then too. It’s another tool in our belts, I don’t see myself on one for a long time, but that’s just me.
@@tenmil1 I lived through the transition and raced through it…..I was in a on a 125 for the 426 and my dad raced the 400f….I remember the talk…I hated 4 strokes and still am not a huge fan although I raced them for a while. They fall apart and are expensive to maintain. Anyway. It was the same talk. “Too heavy, heat kills them…..” if you are saying electric I going away I strongly disagree….electric tech like I said may not be here to take over….2 strokes will never die. But if you by saying “not for long” you mean electric is a flash in the pan your mistaken. In my opinion. Battery tech has a long way to go…lithium is garbage but even at its current level is producing very good bikes…I don’t see battery tech getting worse and I also don’t see electric going away. I see it getting stronger and adding a 3rd option for people who can’t ride gas at all where they live.
It was indeed the fastest (in terms of instant power) bike I have ever been on. And it depends how you ride it, but on this day we were doing mostly woods riding and we were out over 8 hours!
@@kyrgeo yeah on the TSE I probably burned about 3 gallons out of the 3.5 gallon tank. But it depends on the ride ultimately. If I’m racing and on the gas constantly, I’ll burn through it in half that time. But just regular trail riding with some hill climbs mixed in here and there. Bout 3 to 3.2 gallons in 7-8 hours
Well, I guess for creating content online, it would be a lot quieter. Also, if you're trying to learn a rail/route in the quickest amount of time you'll be able to gauge the amount of power you can put down in certain parts. Like you said, you can just purely focus on technique and feeling of the bike on those sections. I have a Talaria R, it's everything I need. Nothing more at moment with my skill level. Very satisfied.
Cannot wait for mine, binging every video about it on the internet. I ordered an Alpha, I likely will rarely set it at 80hp, but when I go to the Glamis Sand Dunes with paddles, I know the 80hp will be nice for some of the hill climbs out there
