It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The EMX30 is a high-performance electric dirt bike from German startup Grizzlar. Based on the proposed specs, this thing could be a serious contender.

I read it as that electric dirtbike in particular is obscure, but yeah, limited capacity is a deal breaker for a lot of folks. The trade off is more capacity = more weight, and the less nimble the bike becomes.

One day when we get better energy density with less weight, we'll have some really insane electric dirtbikes capable of some really impressive stuff.
