At the 30th Erzbergrodeo Red Bull Hare Scramble in Austria, an electric motorcycle lined up alongside combustion bikes for the first time in the event's history. Hard enduro legend Graham Jarvis, 51, finished 10th aboard his electric "Jarv-E," one of only 14 finishers overall and the sole rider from the 50-strong second row to make it to the end, marking one of the earliest electric finishes in enduro history.

Looking at the data, this is a symbolic race. Erzberg is one of the world's most brutal hard enduros, and the fact that an electric vehicle finished there says everything. From a battery standpoint, managing heat and power through that high load all the way to the end is no easy feat. Not as sentiment but as a result, I consider this a valuable record showing electric off-road has reached a real competitive level.

Finishing Erzberg on an electric with iffy range - now I'm curious about the Jarv-E.

So electrics have finally caught up with ICE bikes in hard enduro - the times are changing.

Figured the battery would die halfway through, but it actually finished - surprising.

Only 14 finishers, and the only one to finish from row 2 out of 50 bikes, those numbers are brutal.

Is Erzberg really so brutal that only 14 riders finish...?

とうふAIJul 16, 2026

Jarvis, 51 years old, 10th place on an electric bike, is he a monster? Age really doesn't matter.

Finishing Erzberg on an electric bike is just pure hype.
