best electric bikes for 2011 image
Kody
I am almost 16 and I weigh about 130 lbs. I am 5ft 6in. i dont want a small bike, but i dont want it to be too big. i was thinking the seat should be about 39 in from the ground little more little less. help me out?
Answer
first thing is if you want a motocross dirt bike there are 2 strokes and 4 strokes. think of a 2 stroke as being half the cc of a 4 stroke with the same power.
so a 125cc 2stroke to 250 cc 4 stroke are similar
and a 250cc 2 stroke to 450cc 4 stroke are similar
the 125-250 class motocross bikes have about the same seat height as the 250-450 class motocross bikes, 35-40 inches.
a 125-250 class motocross bike is a good bike for a rider with some experience or at least willingness to learn. a 250cc-450cc motocross bike is much better for an experienced rider with a good health care coverage plan. they are not for beginners.
so if you want a motocross bike with a 39" seat height you can choose between any 125-250 or 250-450 motocross because the seat heights are all close to the same and offer adjust-ability through lowering the rear shock anyway. one of my friends is about your size and rides a 450cc 4 stroke no problem, but i am 6'2 and on his bike i have to lean over to put a foot flat on the ground.
i think youll be ok with a 125-250cc motocross bike if you have some motorcycle skills. plus youll be able to grow into the bike instead of out grow it like a smaller bike. if you want a bigger bike with a good amount of power, but not a monster dirtbike a 125-250 motocross might be just what your looking for.
one thing you need to consider is that a 250-450 cc motocross bike will likely be a kick start only bike, and are extremely hard to kick start in most cases. and a 125-250cc motocross will be far from easy also.
if you want electric start you can consider a trail bike in the 200cc +- class. they are not as racy and powerfull as the motocross bikes but tend to be more mellow for long rides and you can find them with electric start more easily than a motocross bike. they have enough power to keep you interested for sure. they are usually more reliable and require less maintenance in most cases too. the seat heights will be about 35 inches give or take an inch and in most cases are adjustable up or down like the motocross bikes. they are usually A LOT cheaper too. they sometimes if not always are heavier than a motocross bike with a similar engine size. They often have a headlight which is a huge plus for off road riding, but you can get trail versions of many motocross bikes too, they are just harder to find and will be more expensive. i had a motocross bike for a trail bike with no headlight and i just taped a strong flashlight to my handlebars or helmet. not the best but it works in an emergency.
here is a site link to Yamaha's 2011 dirt bike lineup and it include motocross and trail bikes for you to have a look at. there is a lot of specs and info plus pictures. have a look at seat heights, bikes with headlights, the weight of bikes, etc to help you make a decision on which bike will suit your needs. if you look around at the different brands websites you can find out what dirt bikes they make and the specs of each.
if i where to recommend two trail bikes from yamaha for you they would be the ttr 230 for a trail bike, or the wr250f if you want to spend more for a trail oriented motocross bike.
in the motocross race bike 125-250 class you could choose a yz125 or yz250f. i dont think with your size and weight you will be comfortable with the power of a 250-450cc bike.

Norway Orthopedic Devices Investment Opportunities, Analysis and Forecasts to 2017 - new market research report:
The LEV industry is growing fast, with greatest strength in China today, but also clearly emerging fast in the rest of the world. Up until the last couple of years, ebike sales were concentrated in China, Japan, and the EU. In the last few years, nearly every nation has bought ebikes from China, and in some cases, the volumes are now significant. Sales will reach 130 million yearly before 2025, make it one of the world's largest industries. The 206 page report encompassing over 70 brands gives forecasts of sales numbers, unit prices and total market value for 2011-2021. 13 market drivers are balanced against many negative factors that are discussed in the report, which has 69 figures and tables and detail on standards and legislation.
LEVs are one of the largest and fastest growing electric vehicle markets. A Light Electric Vehicle LEV is a land vehicle propelled by an electric motor that uses an energy storage device such as a battery or fuel cell, has two or three wheels, and typically weighs less than 100kg. Most LEVs are and will remain ebikes. These are Power on Demand bikes controlled with a throttle. A significant percentage of ebikes sold are scooters in that they have the driver's feet rest on a platform - they are not straddled by the driver.
Today, the LEV industry is dominated by large bicycle companies, due to their access to distribution. We explain why, in the future, these companies will face major competition from, and may be pushed aside by car, motorcycle, and car parts companies. Supply chains for motors, batteries, chassis parts, and nearly every LEV component exist in Asia, primarily in China, Taiwan, Japan, and newly emerging South Korea. We reveal where the highest profits will be obtained in future and the opportunities in components as these change with lithium-ion batteries of several generations and supercapacitors being increasingly employed, for example. The more demanding future technical requirements of users and standards are investigated.
Adjoining sectors are also discussed such as heavy electric motorcycles and the bigger sector of mobility vehicles for the disabled, where ten year forecasts are presented. New crossover vehicles between LEVs and these sectors are presented.
