Sur Ron Fullsize Electric Dirtbike

Torque at the rear wheel is BS. There's a huge multiplication factor from the transmission and gearing. Compare the rpms of the flyweel and rpms of the rear wheel in 1st gear, and you have the answer!

From here: https://www.cycleworld.com/verge-ts-debuts-at-eicma-2019/

With no sprockets to convert high motor speed into a lower wheel speed and increase torque, it means the 737 pound-feet (which is a more headline-friendly 1,000Nm in metric terms) is the maximum available at the rear wheel. Work out the torque multiplication figures that you get from a conventional internal combustion engine and a multi-speed gearbox and you’ll discover that a typical modern literbike actually achieves something like 885 pound-feet (1,200Nm) at the rear tire in first gear. The Verge will accelerate fast, no question, but perhaps not with the dragbike speed that the initial specs might imply.

Very interested in this dirt bike. Since I've moved to the lost coast, having a plated bike isn't important, and a cheap electric bike would just be freakin' awesome.
 
This is the equivalent to the Light Bee not the Storm Bee. I made a post about it in the electric bike forum. But it's pretty much a rebadged Sur Ron with a high and lower spec model and supemoto for the lower model.

oops, I misread this thread title, though it was the light bee thread.

which electric bike forum did you post it on?
 
It sure does roost! That's a cool skate park it's in Odaiba I recognize that Fuji TV building. Man I miss Japan.

There is a Kalk post I started somewhere it's a nice bike but $$$$ and it looks like a bike Apple would make haha still have yet to ride one, if you want to look at a real one Evolution Motorcycles had one that I got to oogle.

Is that even a dirtbike?
 
It's kinda cool lookin though like it's going to transform into a robot

If only it could transform into something other than a vaporware prototype that we will never see again.
 
These posts hurt me so deep.

Why is this stuff on a motorcycling forum? It's nothing close to motorcycling. It's a horrible e-bike...

Can we move this to the sink or somewhere else that garbage belongs?
 
It's a motorcycle it has 2 wheels a motor, chain, sprockets, twist throttle, you straddle it. Is the Alta Redshift a horrible e-bike as well?

If it's such a horrible e-bike how come it can race against dirt bikes and win?
