Way too cool. 18hp in 165lbs. Imagine what they could do if they increased it to 200lbs. (stock CR125 wieghs 193 lbs) They could probably increase that to nearly 25hp and have a full suspension equal to a dirtbike.

I bet they could do even more in a quad frame. Lots more room to put batteries and stuff, but I bet the market isn't near as big. That thing looks like its marketed to be a bicycle replacement, not an electric dirtbike.

mike metzger likes em. i don't think they really need to increas the weight and power. i think at the power to weight ratio is close enough to a dirtbike where you wouldn't even notice. but think about how much fun you could have with that thing. you could ride it ANYWHERE! its so stealth. just think flyin past somebody at 45 and theres no noise at all. that would rule.

Ok, the quad thingy is ugly as all hell. I wonder if it would be terribly difficult to mount a motor and 4 batteries into a 250r rolling chassis?

If its 18 HP its higher than the yz125..not true..kinda funny they have a dyno for the crf250 and its not even out yet

That has a lot of freeride mountain bike parts on it.... like the fork, brakes and the rims and tires. Non of thos parts would brake, you could hit pretty good sized hits with them too.
