It is depressing as hell being stuck in a fossil fuel obsessed world when we have had other viable options for decades, but take heart when you see electric dirt bikes beginning to proliferate in war, if Electric Vehicles are winning on the cutting edge of the frontline for reasons that have nothing to do with environmentalism, the future is far closer than it seems...

Also god damn I really hate loud dirtbikes and ATVs in nature so looking forward to these undercutting fossil fuel powered dirtbikes everywhere....

I had range anxiety on my klr even, and that has a huge tank for an offroad(ish) bike. would have been so much nicer to have the same range (300 km) but know that if I had to I could just post up at a camp site and charge up with a panel

Anything electric lightweight enough to go off-road isn't getting anywhere near 300km 😅

They just aren't ready for touring yet, as much as the industry tries to tell us they are. Trailer it to the trails like a dirt bike.

Love the KLR btw, those things are venerable ✌️
