I don't like electric but not just because they are electric per se.
My problem with them is that they are way too quiet. Too quiet equals run ins (ie; scares and crashes) with other user groups which will lead to more negative views of dirt bikers and close down even more areas to us. Then add in the very high likelihood of running in to wildlife because they don't hear you coming. That don't sound like that big of a deal until you hit something big enough to send you flying over the bars or, even worse, come up on a dangerous animal like a bear and her cubs.
To me, electrics should stick to the track.
