The greenies will love this. There are a few other companies already doing this with good results. I dont think I'd ever get used to the silence. Imagine supercross being all electric....very awkward!

It would sound better than those hand grenades they're riding right now...

I prefer the sound/smell of the 2strokes - superior sound to that of the fart can exhaust you hear now.

The modern thumper and my 4 stroke Stihl string trimmer sound amazingly similar.

its probably so light. sounds like fun, i wonder what the power delivery is like? the range? probably a while off for a serious enduro bike.
the positives i can see:
low maintanence
no gas or oil to buy
light
electric motors last a really long time, even when run at high rpms. this could be sweet!

uh....after you put batteries on that thing, it wont be light.
and if they put small batteries on it, it will be garbage for anything but a lap on a closed course. no good for trail riding
