How many years before electric bikes dominate the off-road / dirt bike world? I remember when 4-strokes made their comeback. "Too heavy, too complicated, too fiddly; they'll never replace the 2-Stroke". But. Everyone loved the linear, "electric" power delivery. The 2001 YZ250F was the most fun bike I've ever owned.

Fast forward 20 years and the 2-T is little more than a nostalgic blast from the past. Love it or hate it, once battery tech advances a little more, it's going to be history repeating itself for the thumper.

" EMX-PRO proves itself during first track test. Strong acceleration, control and grip in the turns, and stable in the straight sections of the track: the EMX-PRO has left a great impression during its first track test. The dirt bike was developed by Dutch companies ELEO and Dohms Projecten B.V., with support from Yamaha Motor Europe N.V. and the Royal Dutch Motorcycle Association for Motorcycling (KNMV). "

Looks pretty cool. Maybe they will publish some numbers soon? Like how long it will go full power with a fast rider on different motocross tracks, like sand, hardpack. There should be a standard developed for these bikes and reporting battery life. Doesnt matter how fast it is if it goes 15 minutes in a 30 minute moto.
