What kind of distance on single track will it go on a full charge?
Don't know if I could bring myself to ride one of those without the 2 stroke sounds and smells , lol.
I was thinking the same thing when we lapped some 2 strokes. It's a different experience and I fully expect to be made fun of, by the old hats. :) The fun factor is off the charts compared to my 300.

It has a larger battery so I would expect at least 50 miles of tight, hilly stuff, based on what we did yesterday. That's more than I would ever ride around here, in a day.

That's further than I expected. I don't know if I'd be able to do more than 50 miles anymore, but there have been times where I've pushed that distance. Being it's lighter than a 300, I'd imagine it's easier to ride, which in turn would allow longer ride times/distances.

Double edge sword, you're not fighting the weight of the bike at all, but you go faster and are fighting all that comes with the speed. It's not as plush as the KTM, more like riding a stupid fast mountain bike that you don't have to pedal.

I really was a doubter and thought they were dumb, but my buddy convinced me to do a lap on one and I gapped him horribly. We are usually pretty tight on gas bikes.

Nice thing, no air filter cleaning, oil changes, stopping for gas and 2 stroke oil. Still have to lube the chain, allegedly.
