Personally, I love seeing kids and teens riding all manner of electric dirt bikes. Why? Because the constant rhetoric I hear from my colleagues and peers is that The Youths don't care about motorcycles anymore. They'd rather be doing TikTok dances or playing video games or all manner of other activities apart from riding.
It is, as I'd put it, horseshit though.
In my little hamlet alone, the vast majority of kids getting around our city are riding something like a Sur-Ron, a Talaria, or in the very near future, Zero's EV dirt bikes. They're everywhere. In fact, at my daughter's lacrosse practice last night, I saw no fewer than 10 EV dirt bikes streak by the field throughout the hour and a half we were there.
