Dust Offering Up Another 100 Spots For Its Upcoming All-Electric Dirt Bike

Why don’t I have more money?

EV dirt bikes are cool. I know it will be a divisive claim, but I will put my reputation on the line. They are powerful, agile, easy to maintain and, best of all, silent. Yes, yes, I still love engines, but you know who doesn’t? Karen down the road, my HOA, and that group of hikers I passed.

That’s why I pay attention to people like DustLike building something that will take all those people off my back, and it just so happens that the company releases another 100 spots for its next electric dirt bike.

I would say that a release like Dust is small and doesn’t have the manufacturing power Triumph or Ducati or Honda to press them. Few do. But the company has taken a new approach to building its bikes and business through crowdfunding, and it seems to work like the first 50 bike subscriptions – pay monthly until you receive your bike – go like hotcakes . And according to the guys behind it, more people have clamored to join the Bend, Oregon as supporters of the outfit, and also to further test their business model. Hence this release.

The F100 campaign, which is what Dust is calling this release, will not only give backers 15 percent off the final MSRP, but they will also receive “Access to monthly member meetings, regular newsletters, and additional behind-the-scenes updates. Once production is up and running, they will also receive delivery of the first batch production bikes with special custom keys. Dust also said that the company “is finding significant success with member involvement in the its design and development process that helped propel it to a validated Alpha_1 prototype.” So if you become a backer, a suggestion you make could only make it on the final design.

My personal suggestion for Dust, if it was a support, would be to keep the rear brake on the handlebars. Ubco. For what? Because you can get the bike to slide correctly Akira. Ask me how I know…

As for the motorcycle itself, Dust says it is sort between 125cc and 250cc, but with the best attributes of both. It may even be true, as the company’s Alpha_1 prototype has already made it into a few select hands, with almost universal praise for the bike. The specs are aimed at 91 kilos (200 pounds), 35 horsepower, 300 lb-ft of torque, all from an interchangeable 3.5 kW battery pack. Likewise, it will receive a 20-inch front and 18-19-inch rear wheel. To these old ears, that sounds like a damn riot.

Likewise, it aims to offer a lower entry barrier to those curious about the motorcycle discipline, saying: “With the right ingredients, more people can connect with the sport than ever before” and this is something that RideApart absolutely promote. Bigger cakepeople

Obviously, Dust will deliver, but I hope for the brand and those behind it. Now let me go so I can race my backyard track until midnight without anyone yelling at me to “Shut that damn motorcycle off!”
