Electric dirt bikes
Does anyone have any experience with them? I just bought a house with room enough for a small track in back. I don't want to spook the neighbors horses, so I'm looking for quiet.

I've ridden the zero MX, and its a TON of fun. You get 30mins or so out of a charge, and they're light enough to jump and get plenty of acceleration. If you're looking at one, be sure to get a spare battery and plug the charger into a 220v outlet, and you're looking at hot-swapping batteries and fun all day.

Had to move to Utah to get it, but things seem to be working out well. Zero is the only one I could find other than Chinese mini-bikes. The size would actually work perfect, not too big, but enough to get in trouble on.
Wow >10k? And I can't have just 1.

Well if you got the hookup they're WAAAAY less than that. Or live in colorado. State + fed incentive = $5k off retail.

I'll check my local rebates.
How does one go about getting said hookup?

IMO we are a few years from having affordable/worthy electric Dirt Bikes.

I wouldn't call the KTM a worthy dirtbike. I would call it the perfect backyard weapon though.
If I had a yard capable of facilitating a small modest track I would be first in line for the Freeride.
