At the moment combustion engine bikes are still far cheaper/more practical for your average user, and its the average user that buy the vast mayoralty of the bikes the manufacturers make, therefore the bike manufacturers need to promote what they sell most of. When battery tech gets better and cheaper and the electric bikes can match the combustion engine bikes on power, range and price [price is really the biggest killer at this point especially when you consider you need to buy a few of sets of batteries to avoid charge time during an event or day on the bike] then you will see the shift happen.
Welcome to the Netherlands. We only have man made terrains over here. But this event was very very well organised. I was there both days and I had a lovely time. Yes, the terrain might suck in the eyes of foreign people, but every organiser should take note how this club of volunteers did their job. Their very first world championship. It was almost perfect!!
E-trial is the future! Top!!!
Garbage
Any reason why all the classes can’t be electric next season?

Seemed like all the action was from two sections of man made obstacles 🤷♂️
