Taiga factory

[LBS4]

Interesting products, they can swap the production line from skis to snowmobiles. I’d love to try out one of the skis but recharge times seem unrealistic for us?
All I can think is wow, there are tens of millions of $’s in that new factory. Uncle Sam will pay you to go green…. I am actually looking thru rebate & incentive programs now for our apartment buildings, it is disgusting how much $ the government is throwing at this issue.

Edit - I’ve got nothing to do with this YouTube channel, was in my feed & figured I’d share.

Yep what it really is is yet another way to make rich people richer and poor people poorer all while supporting Chinas economy and doing absolutely nothing to help the environment.

BTW those look like Seadoo jet pumps and ride plate -radiators..

Pretty cool video though

Not sure what the HP on that Seadoo is but it left that ORCA like it had an anchor tied to it.

Green energy. Whoever believes that EV's and "green" energy is going to save the planet needs to take off their rose-colored glasses.

I bought an electric dirt bike at the beginning of the year. It will give me a full day of riding on a charge. It can't stall, It has torque to climb any hill, no noise, no smell, no gas, no idling. It has a clutch and gears, But on the trails I just leave it in second gear. I plug it in when I get home and it's ready to ride the next day. I recently sold my Ktm 300. I liked it so much I bought an electric mountain bike and ride it on the trails near me regularly. My mountain bike has 460 miles on it now, the dirt bike 240. I was looking at replacing my street bike with an electric bike but there are currently no fed incentives and the state of Alabama charges a $203 annual tax on all registered electric vehicles to make up for the lost gas taxes. Makes sense for a car but I now doubt I will be getting an electric street bike. Being "green" didn't enter into my decision to get my bike but I do like that it's so quiet, I see a lot of wild life that I would not see on a gas dirt bike. My main concern with these is you don't want to let the batteries sit for a long period of time or they will go bad. It would be cool if battery power was at a state that they could build an electric stand up ski (or even a waveblaster) with the power of the gas ski that could run all day at a competitive price but we are a long way from that day.

I looked up the weight on that ORCA it's 738.5 lbs , in comparison a Seadoo GTX 170HP is 849 lbs so it does have a weight advantage.

How many miles do you get on a charge? One thing I wish my surron had was a clutch. Hard to get any traction on a steep hill when you have all that torque..

I think it's in the low 20's for dirt bike riding. My normal day of riding is about 16 miles and I end up with 40% charge left. It came with lights and blinkers and I was planning on getting a tag for it but I changed my mind because I didn't want to pay for insurance. I didn't even know about the E tax .
The way they designed the power curve on mine is like a two stroke. The lower rpms the power is softer but as you accelerate it really takes off.
I can (and have) stop in the middle of a hill and take off again. I never touch the clutch. I made a website on the bike if you want to see more.

I had a deposit on the stark varg, another electric dirtbike that is pretty badass. Initial test rides show its good for 30, maybe 35 miles of single track at what I would consider a conservative pace. Most of my days are 40 - 60 miles with the tank capacity to do 90+ on my 250 2 stroke enduro. I've done a few 100+ and even a 212 mile day where fuel stops were neccessary and had to be kept short to keep on schedule.

If I had a backyard trail I'd totally be all about the varg. It's basically a perfect modern dirtbike with a great electric power train.

Until then I'll be mixing different blends of dinosaur and hearing it rawr.

One of the dealerships near me has two Stark Varg's in stock. $13.5k I paid about half that. Mine would not keep up with a Varg though.

I mean, that is kind of the foundation of the powersports industry.

and the BS starts....

The pumps say SOLAS right on them.

Taiga is based out of Canada.

I love my Electric Skateboard. Three season and over 700 miles on it.

I'm currently reviewing Mercury's new 35e for Portaging in Canada. No gas fumes, no water pumps to clog up and overheat motor, far less noise, super low trolling speeds......No need for GAS, just bring 4 100 watt solar panels or charge the batteries at the cabin.

Call it BS if you want , those were general statements , I will give it to them since they are making their own battery packs, so does Tesla , pretty much everyone else is using battery packs made in China.
The ride plate - radiator is a Seadoo ripoff period and the pump is a Seadoo copy made by Solas , Solas is made in Tiawan which may or may not be a part of China depending on who you are asking , don't get your panties all twisted, it's just the internet.
