Alta Motors Electric bike wins first Endurocross race

[umberto]

I feel like one day we will all talk about the moment electric bikes took over after they started winning in Endurocross.  Then the gas bike guys will ban together and talk about how much electric bikes suck, and the kids will talk about how much easier it is to ride electric. Welcome to the resistance movement four stroke guys, now you know how two stroke guys feel.

Dirt Rider Tests the Alta Red Shift off road.  They seemed pretty impressed with it.

I've been tellin ya for 10 years it's coming.....
But as far as the 4t's hangin with the 2t's..
Not gonna happen...
Decades after the last 4t slings it's last valve, 2t's will be tearin up the world...

I agree. The two strokes are being held onto and rebuilt, and the four strokes are being thrown away because it's too expensive and complicated to rebuild them. Plus two strokes piss off the tree huggers, which makes me smile.
