Veteran rider Graham Jarvis, 51, became the first competitor to finish the Red Bull Romaniacs on an electric motorcycle, riding the Jarv-e prototype at the 23rd edition of the event. He placed 20th in the demanding Gold class, while Manuel Lettenbichler won his seventh title, matching Jarvis's record.

Technically, the real story is achieving battery capacity and thermal management that could survive that terrain end to end. Looking at it through numbers rather than emotion, the fact that it finished at all matters more than the 20th-place result itself. From a battery standpoint, surviving a course with rock fields and old mining terrain — that kind of load variation — is a real step forward for electric off-road durability.

Wish the Jarv-e's range made it into a street bike

20th still feels like it's in the experimental phase

Wonder if the battery thermal management held up okay
