Hard to get bits for easily as they didn't make many and used a lot of proprietary bits. It was before they embraced the likes of Yamaha. Although I'm sure people are desperate for spares. Especially stuff like plastics. You will see your money back that way I'm sure.
A EV would be cool to try but what you have is a great bike. I doubt you would see any difference riding wise compared to something like an EM.

Agreed. I am hoping that all the serviceable parts can be sold to people who need them. Only one or two sellers on ebay have parts. Maybe I can fill the gap and provide useful bits.
As far as the why, it’s actually because there are lots of little spots near me, within a 15 minute cycle ride, that are great to practice trials.
Unfortunately these spots are also populous enough that the Sherco would get too much attention.
I’m after the EV trials bike purely for messing about and practicing in places that are only possible if I’m quiet. EV is near-silent so I wouldn’t attract any attention.

Yea BVM is the nearest dealer, and even they are a drive away.
To be honest it was a stupid idea the £500 it cost me. I didn’t realise til later the amount of work the engine needed. Had it been £200-300 in parts then all good for £800 a beater bike for friends to join me.
Unfortunately already £100 in parts later I find it’s not viable to rebuild. Gonna cost over a grand in parts alone, to make it serviceable. My mistake, live and learn.
If I make back maybe £100-300 of the parts over time, and I’m left with a rolling chassis… that chassis is as good as any to use for an EV.
Of course I’d prefer a modern factory-built EV, but I can’t afford one.
