The lack of engine …
The lack of engine noise and exhaust smell might be an issue if there are nearby residents, but in an SVRA off-road park, ordinary bike noise and smell shouldn’t be a problem. I like the ring-a-ding my 2-stroke makes and enjoy the sweet smell of burned 2-stroke oil mixed with racing gas. Environmentalists typically do not apprecialte off-road sports in general, so the “green” factor may be a non-issue IMO.I still think this is an amazing machine and admire the technology.What spark arrestor?

Considering the standard dirty makes a load of noise and everyone complains, and these things are silent which opens up a whole new riding paradigm, and yet have the power and top it off no emissions, then my only comment is, buy stocks in Zero Motorcycles, these things will be improved on and tricked out to no end in the future, awesome work.

This is awesome! This will change everything in our sport. We will be able to MX parks in the city and not have to worry about noise. This is huge in Europe and will be very popular here soon. This is very good news. I live in the city and will be buying one for sure!
