The last few years haven't gone the way that Stark Future, the makers of the all-electric Stark Varg dirt bike, wanted them to go, at least in terms of its racing exploits. They're doing fine everywhere else. But while the dirt bikes have been more than competitive in everything they've been entered in, the company routinely found themselves banned from competition.
First, the FIM SuperEnduro told them to take a hike. And then it was the X Games. Both times, however, the organizing bodies gave bullshit-ass excuses as to why they were banning the EV dirt bikes from competition. The scuttlebutt, however, among the paddock was that the folks who were still running gasoline-powered dirt bikes didn't appreciate how competitive the EVs were right out of the gate. And rather than send it harder, they lobbied to ban them from the arenas.
It's not hard to believe that's true, given just how hard you can whip one of these machines compared to their dinosaur-fueled brethren.
