► Watch the Straight Rhythm replay on Red Bull TV: http://win.gs/RBSRTV Many of you reading this right now grew up around motorcycles. They are greasy, oily machines. The air filters need cleaning, the oil needs replacing, the coolant needs checking, and most importantly, the gas tank needs to be filled. But on Alta Motors' Redshift MX bike, every single one of those tedious bike maintenance practices are a thing of the past. The electric motorcycle need only be plugged in and charged, not unlike the phone and/or computer on which you are reading these words right now, and it is ready to race against any motorcycle in the world. With Josh Hill at the helm, the San Francisco-based manufacturer set out to prove to the world that electric technology is not only coming to motocross; it has arrived. The team's debut at Red Bull Straight Rhythm this year was a massive talking point coming into the race, and the Alta crew knew that the scrutinous and ruthless eyes of the motocross faithful were locked in on them at this year's race. _ Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before. With the best action sports clips on the web and original series, prepare for your "stoke factor" to be at an all time high.

Yal got Pastrana under your WINGS. (get it, Wings) Why don't you put him on one of these things. I'm sure Alta and Red Bull could work something out.

I can see a lot of men not wanting to give up their gas motors because the loud noises they make are tied in to their masculinity.

I'm a 2stroke guy and always will be and if this is what it takes to get rid of those 4 then I'm all in.

just like electric cars nobody wants them, to much to go wrong and expensive to replace.

The bike looks cool and is pretty quick but nothing can beat the sound and smell of a petrol engine

I LOVE Electric. Have had two electric cars and once you drive one you won't ever want to go back to gas. I'd love to replace my CR450 with one of these. I could ride in my back yard and not bother the neighbors! But not for $14K!. Only the rich can afford that. They need to be less expensive or at most the same as gas bikes to gain any significant market.

Omg

go die, electric dirt bike is for pussys

For this application I think the electric engine is amazing. People need to have the mentality F1, NASCAR, and Indy have which is to run, test, and improve, then do it all over again. The fact that it needs fossil fuels to recharge them isn't the issue here. Now if it were for something like the Isle of Mann then it would probably not make it. Too many miles on one charge.
