That's pretty cool. That's the part of mountain biking I don't like is going up hills. With that I would go anywhere. Although I could just use my Honda CRF250X the same and have more power. Power corrupts correct? :D

The only issue is the gas engine. I know there's an electric one out there .. now THAT would work nicely. Should be allowed on regular trails where motorized vehicles are prohibited.

Hmm - the electric bike isn't "motorized" therefore its legal! :bow: :rof: :rof: :rof: ahhhaw, makes perfect sense! :D I'd bet certain authorities would fine you very nicely as Eric is eluding too.

Can you imagine 190cc! :eek:

Erci- i wonder if an electric one would skirt around the motorized restrictions. That would rock! Down hill mountain biking and you dont have to setup a car shuttle to get back.


Final- yeah 190 cc would fly with such little weight!


So many fun toys and not enough time and money.

OK it wouldn't be *legal*, but if it didn't make much noise and looked like an overweight mountain bike, who'd even figure out it was motorized?!

Here's one:

I bet you could buy 2 used FZ's for one NEW one of those! :( The forks likely cost more than 1/2 our bike is worth! lol

Point is - they have to catch you! :thumbup:
