Plus, hey, getting old, I usually only do a few laps around our 3/4 mile trail so I don't think the battery would be a problem.

I grew up racing dirt bikes before moving to race cars ...I wholeheartedly agree that I would get into E-dirt bikes but they would have to be as sustainable as my gas powered ones. That means no chinese made crap that onces it breaks it can't be fixed, it means also spare parts supply for decades to come .
A Honda XR100 is still selling for as much as it was selling brand new 40years ago. I can still find all replacement parts for it at the dealer and they are literally bulletproof.
Get me an e-dirt bike that can do that and im buyin...
Now THATS sustainability... keeping our old stuff running and not buying new stuff is what will save our planet.✌️
