Well, to be fair, so far there has been ONE legit electric dirt bike, the Alta Redshift. I got to spend an afternoon on one and it was, for me, an absolute game changer. Unfortunately Alta got shuttered before really getting to send a message. The upcoming Stark Varg from Sweden looks super promising, and then there's the slightly frustrating KTM e-Freeride as well as a few legit and rad trials brands. There are more on the way, but so much vaporware and so many misfires getting to market.
And no, I do not consider the Segways and Sur-Rons and Cakes to be legit dirt bikes. They are fun, but not really full-on legit.
