Can you push-start a trail bike with electric starter?

I just wonder if you can push-start(literally push the bike to start) a trail bike like the Honda crf230f in case the battery dies on you in the middle of nowhere. It once happened to me however it was automatic gear on top od the electric starter... it was no plain sailing that's why I'm looking for a bike with kick-start backup. Thanks
 
if it's a manual transmission you can push start it...put in second gear, squeeze the clutch, push it down a hill, hop on, and release the clutch.

a kick starter works in almost the same way as push starting, but it has a separate shaft...
