• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Street legal electric trials bike anyone?

I spectated the top riders in the world perhaps 15 years ago and the (at least a technique used multiple times at each section) technique seemed to be wind up the engine let out the clutch an force the rear wheel down all at once. I am sure some good riding can be done on these things but that riding technique most likely won't work on one of these things with no clutch.
 
I saw this article a while back that said Sherco were collaborating with EM

MotoTrials: Sherco Goes Electric

It seems that trials is a good starting point for manufacterers to test the electric motorcycle market, and the Sherco is the next in line. The Spanish company, known best for its highly regarded trials models, is introducing the Sherco EM 5.7, which is a collaboration with the France based company Electric Motion.
The chassis for the EM 5.7 is designed and produced by Electric Motion, and the drive system utilizes an electric motor developed to EM’s specifications running at 48 Volts. The battery pack is built with 25 Ah of Kokam Lithium Polymer cells.
Sherco USA will be bringing the bike into the United States starting in November at a retail price of $9200.00 for the standard model. There will also be a Sport model, which retails for $9900. At this point, we have no idea what is different about the Sport model.

True but e-motors can deliver 100% power at 1 rpm.
