It's finally happened the future is here. Ktm is releasing an electric
dirt bike. When I first saw this I stared at it for ten minutes before
I believed it was not an April fools joke. It's only 95 kgand I'm sure
being electric the torque is nuts.

One day I will be riding this bike on the moon

They are also making a 25 hp 350 version of this bike. Why it is 20 hp
less than the mx version who knows but I'm sure modders will fix that.

That looks awesome. I wonder what the range is...

KTM's site says it's got about a half hour running time. 1.5 hours to
recharge. I think electric motors on dirtbikes will be awesome -
their quiet and have tons of torque. But they've got to solve the
problem with range and recharge time first.
