Why an electric bike and not gas power?

They are many people who are taking old dirtbike frames and converting them to electric.  So why would someone want electric power over gas?

TheOtherBike is both an electric dirtbike and an electric bicycle giving it advantages.  Unlike many electric bikes, TheOtherBike is a full size dirt bike.  You can compare its size to a traditional dirt bike like an Suzuki RM125 or Honda CR 250.  There are several advantages of an electric motorcycle or dirtbike compared to a traditional gas-powered one:

1. Environmental-friendly: Electric motorcycles produce zero emissions, helping to reduce air pollution and combat climate change. They contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment. This makes everyone feel better, especially if you love and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

2. Cost-effective: Operating an electric motorcycle is generally more cost-effective than a gas-powered one. The cost of electricity is typically lower than gasoline, resulting in lower fuel expenses. Additionally, electric motorcycles have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance, leading to potential long-term cost savings.

3. Efficiency: Electric motorcycles have high energy efficiency due to their electric drivetrain. They convert a higher percentage of energy from the battery into power at the wheels, resulting in better overall performance and acceleration.

4. Noise pollution reduction: Electric motorcycles produce significantly less noise compared to their gas-powered counterparts. This can be beneficial for riders who prefer a quieter ride and can also help reduce noise pollution in residential areas.  Nothing better than being able to ride a high powered bike in your neighborhood or local trails and not disturbing anyone.

5. Instant torque: Electric motorcycles have instant torque, meaning you get immediate acceleration as soon as you twist the throttle. This can make for a thrilling riding experience and enhanced control.  Probably the best part and distinction between gas and electric.  TheOtherBike has a lot of torque!  If you like speed, you need to ride one!
