That looks like a Surron Storm Bee. According to the Surron website (https://surron.ca/pages/storm-bee), it weighs 127 kg (280 lbs).

So it's about a 100lbs heavier.. compared to a 125 cc..I could see it being a problem on a dirt track with jumps...a specially if the suspension is sub-pare..

Motocross and trials is the only use I can see electric being good. It's not like you can ride a motocross bike on a proper track for 1 hour.

On a trail ride here you'd be lucky to run out of battery before you'd rip those cables off what i presume is the motor
