I wanted to see how the bike would do on dirt and in the mud - but was fearful after my earlier motor failure that i would kill the motor so i built a shroud out of a rubbermaid storage bin and zip ties and I tested the dirtworthiness of dirtbike II electric boogaloo this last weekend at New Vienna Motosports Park. They were awesome and took a genuine interest in the bike and wanted to know about it - so did many other riders who were there. I achieved 55 minute trail riding time including hills, 3 creek crossings, and some flat open terrain. I was almost ready for a break anyway when I sensed I was about at 85% discharged. I put it on charge at 15 AMPS and about 25 minutes later, a guy wanted to ride it - said he was gonna take it around a loop - which meant to him, a loop around the whole park :-) he jumped it - went 50mph - found some mud, and made it back in one piece - and I put it on charge again. I gave it about another 40 min. before taking it back out myself and riding for 10 or 15 minutes or so - it never acted like it went empty. I drew a crowd at the end of the day trying to get the bike off the ground on a less than agreeable bump on the kiddie trail as my brother filmed me. :-) Thanks to the owners of New Vienna and to all the interested folks we met - I would have liked to have talked to you guys all day. :-)
