All I'm gonna say is I was hauling ass at 30HP, and with no gas engine making a racket, all you could hear was the tires gripping the terrain, the chain whirring, and me giggling like a loon. It was amazing.

I believe it.

I think the Surrons are pretty zippy and they have WAY less than 30 HP.

@smdub is this terrain gnarly enough? :) Won a 2:20 hard enduro, without recharging, with 30% left at the end. I don't know the mileage, but I do know that after watching this video, I'd be more than done riding for the day.

I'm only ~10min in but that looks great! LOVE the start! (I was thinking where the heck were are all the bikes when they started running) Need to play it all (or at least one full lap) on the big projector later.

You need to ride my UB. Was a hit @ the WATR STR. I rode it back to back w/ the KTM yesterday @ Buchos. Hands down the UB is easier to ride now and faster w/ the new controller. Still going to try the KTM fork swap on it.

Electrics are really going to start to show up in the shorter hard enduros. Can't wait to see whats at the TKO this year.

Yeah, the WATR ride was on the calendar, but... *sniff* my son had to work. Sixteen years old, and impacted by work getting in the way of riding. DAMN it. That's really not what I meant by "you need to get a job for that type of life experience."

Does the forum automatically capitalize DAMN? DAMN it. And DAMN it. Test, test! DAMN...

Edit: It *does*! That is *hilarious*!

You need to come out to Emmitsburg. We can do an electric ride. (Stephen had a bunch of them)

I left one at home and still brought five to the STR

I havnt finished the whole video yet but watched the first 30 mins or so.
Thats one heck of a start. Tough uphill sprint, all winded by thw time you even through a leg over the bike.
I watched until he started to lap. What a clog of backriders!
