Eric Peronnard on Stark, Alta, and Why Electric Dirt Bikes Are Finally Being Accepted

In Episode 9 of The eMoto Show, we sit down with industry legend Eric Peronnard to talk about where electric dirt bikes really stand right now, and where things are headed next.

Eric has been at the center of it all, from Supercross and X Games to the early days of electric racing with Zero, Alta, and now Stark. We dive into how far the industry has come, why acceptance of electric dirt bikes is finally starting to shift, and what still needs to happen for eMoto to fully break into the mainstream.

We also get into the challenges of racing electric bikes, why traditional class structures don’t really work, and how events like TKO and X Games are adapting. Eric shares insight into mid-size bikes gaining traction, the rise and fall of early electric race series, and what the future could look like as OEMs start taking electric more seriously.
