Dial in accel rate, jerk rate, decel braking, etc. I'd like a decel
(entering the corner) curve to make regen braking
change with wheel speed. Lowish when high wheel speed and gently more
until a control command (pick up
the throttle) , same as how I do it with my foot on the back brake
now. It's the perfect application with current
batteries too. A practice lasts 3-4 minutes, heat race 4-5, final
6-7. Total 20 minutes max.
Kalifornia already has tiered off-road licensure for dirtbikes. Can't remember the details, but they limit 2-strokes in some way at two
different levels.
What most bothers me about electrics is that you can't do the equivalent
of walking to a gas station to buy a gallon or begging a gallon from a passing stranger or guy parked at the boat landing. What DO you do if
you inadvertently run out of battery in the backwoods or deserted road
or even busy highway? Pull out your trusty solar array and eat lunch
while you wait? What if it's dark?
And if battery tech improves just a little bit more I could ride
freakin anywhere I want to poach for a couple
hours. I think 45 minutes may be max right now so getting close
already. Perfect would be 4 hours at pretty good
speed. I could do LA-Barstow to Vegas dual sport with a charge stop
at lunch.
Make sure you stop at the Primm outlets. You can't afford NOT to!
Daughter assures me that the Levi's prices are good, although the
busload of Taiwanese summer students seemed to be stocking up on Michael
Kors and Coach.

Go fast, not far. Ride electric.

I'm sure that was just an oversight...

According to my tests, the battery will be good for probably 15-20
minutes of MX and 30-40 minutes of casual enduro riding.

As much of an oversight as the running time/distance in gas powered
vehicles. Or is anyone seriously believing the values derived from the
NEFZ directive 70/220/EWG? E. g. that the Mercedes E 300 de is supposed
to have a mileage of 1.6L/100km (14.7MPG)? NB: We're talking about this
pile of metal:

My anachronistic KTM has a capacity of ~9 liters and it consumes
anything between 4 and 15 liters per hour or per 100km, whatever you
choose.
I think those electric KTMs are good for what they are, it's as good as
it can get with modern Lithium technology and it's probably more than
would be necessary for the type of MX and enduro riding I do. Point is
that I don't need another motorcycle and the quite hefty price point of
the Freeride E. Electric mobility does not suit people who want to keep
going for an entire day with only miniscule refuel stops. And it never
will be. The chemical energy liberated by burning $STUFF can't be
beaten. Unless you prefer a nuclear drive in your scoot.
