Lol. You may be right. But in any event, I think an electric with a real clutch and transmission is a pretty interesting development. I'd love to ride one at the very least... I mean, it's a bike, right? No reason not to give it a whirl. 

 

Having said that, they're going to have to completely redesign the battery box, because as they have it now, as a GG rider, I can tell you that people would be destroying their knees on the corners of that thing.

Not just destroying my knees but I am pretty sure the battery box itself will get beat to ***** from all of us "normal" riders crashing.

 

 

But I agree the clutch and transmission on an electric bike is interesting.  I still prefer 2 stroke power.

Strange how a few months back Gas Gas didn't have enough cash to pay the window cleaner.

 

Now they've got the best part of a new bike on the go.

 

How is it strange? They were bought by a company with enough cash to invest in the business, so they're using it to make product to sell and hopefully keep employees employed and us supplied with cool bikes.

The Torrot bike just looks like a blue version with an add on seat and different "tank". The frame is the same as the GasGas one by the look of it.

Although the casings are different too.

If they can get the battery to last for long enough (so you don't have to worry about it running out on a long trial or have a spare battery) but still be as light as the petrol bike, with a clutch and engine braking like the petrol bike (probably recharging the battery while it's engine braking) then I would give it a try.
