At those prices I'll gladly purchase a used YZ 125/250 and burn laps around the poor sucker trying to go/pedal his ass around the track.

I'd like to get my boy on an electric mini trials. There's a few out there but they aren't cheap!

how are they stopping you doing that,? and what is the "lol" for when your point is pointless?

Mtn bike guys hate and I men really hate on electrics, Watch for a new trial access battle to arise over these bikes. KTM's parent company bought an electric bike company in Germany and has some Husqvarna branded units ready for production.

Guess I didn’t really look at the link to check them out but it just seems kinda pointless in my eyes. And yes I ride bicycle all the time for fun and exercise. Oh and the lol is for sarcasm....

KTM's been offering electric mountain bikes for a couple years now... Sounds like it's definitely part of their focus moving forward too. All part of their due diligence in eBike technology before going balls deep with it for Moto applications, IMO
