Electric vs Gas Bikes: Electric bikes have gained popularity with successful marketing strategies, pro rider involvement, and impressive performance, despite the disadvantage of no satisfying gas sound and significant weight difference. Gas bikes are left behind due to early release and lack of endorsements.
While Tiger Snowmobiles had the technology and potential with their electric bikes, they fell short in marketing and competition due to their early release and lack of pro rider endorsements. On the other hand, Stark's electric bikes have gained popularity with their successful marketing strategies, pro rider involvement, and impressive performance, boasting more horsepower than a standard 450cc dirt bike. Despite the disadvantage of not producing the satisfying sound of a gas bike, the advantage of instant torque allows for insane whips and tricks. Kobe Raha, for instance, took second place at the recent X Games on an electric bike, showcasing its capabilities. However, the weight difference between electric and gas bikes is significant, making a difference in maneuverability and handling. Overall, the electric bikes' performance and marketing have made a significant impact in the industry, leaving Tiger Snowmobiles behind.

For example, the Jet Ski Jump required a lot of work and preparation, but it resulted in an iconic moment and some great footage.
