But you can ride 100 miles before it dies! WOW! and the rest of the day you can sit around and listen to it charge! NO THANKS! It makes no sense to dive battery powered bikes or cars, they don't allow you to go long distances,their cost is so high that the difference in price will buy you years worth of gas,and your not "saving the environment " because all the power used is generated in power plants,not only that but buy converting ac to dc used in batteries there is a 33% loss of power( heat)

And after all that work......the darn thing still doesn't look like it has been ridden more than a few miles. The tires still have nubs on them. (Probably the seat it too uncomfortable to actually ride on).

Seem like he would have painted the support for the new battery pack and the welds before he had all the fancy pictures taken.....maybe it was one of those deadline things were they just can't get it all done in time.

Won't that license plate location get you a ticket in most states?

Always had problems with local PD hearing me hot rodding round town, just makes it easy for them to zero in on my location. A decent seat and some flat track bars and you got a stealth machine for Sunday mornings , neighbors don't hear you come or go,not bothering anyone. One hour of tearing up the town and surrounding rural area and not being noticed , kinda like warming up for a real motorcycle,take it home plug it in,almost 0 maintenance & get on the gas tracker and head out for a real ride. It has its place no matter how UGLY it might be. No oil changes , no belts or chains , the electric lawn mower of motorcycles ! Sign me up !
