Yes just like that one.  Only big enough to ride in. Haha. 24" suspension travel.  480volts of lipo.  Fawking awesomeness.

Single engine with a Trans or motor per wheel , direct drive? Curious how they scale up from rc with battery & electric motor weight. Did it at least have the cool RC gear whine

Have any of you watched the Formula E championship? It's Formula 1 with electric motors, the lack of noise takes away a lot of the sense of speed. There are some cool electric bikes out there, especially for kids. I really like the Brapp Silent and if I ever had the money I would buy a Stealth electric mountain bike.

I actually stumbled onto an electric F1 race yesterday too on Foxsports1 or ESPN2...it just sucked...cause I love listening to the scream of an F1 engine...but it was sooo quiet.
the 2 main reasons I go to races is for the sound of a gas motor being worked...and for the smell of high dollar fuel. The smell of Elf 2T was the best at the Nationals.

my input on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31g0YE61PLQ
Perfect response!  I know these things are coming, I just hope it isn't for a really long time.  Something about riding in silence that just takes the fun out of it.

Those bikes sound like an R/C car or truck.

it is...but I'm still not worried about it.
I look at it this way....
you/we can still find parts fairly easy for 30+ year old bikes on-line, not all parts, but a lot.
with Yamaha, KTM, and other manufacturers still producing 2T's....by the time another 30 years go's by, I'll be in my mid 70's, if not dead....and I wouldn't have any problem with having to ride a Ya-mama-ha or another brand if it means being able to stay on a 2T, for parts availability. 8-)
