Electric motorcycle
I think I would have to tie some balloons in my spokes so it would at least sound like I'm on a Bike !

An idea who's time has come... who's to say it won't catch on?

Looks like fun and probably is.    Don't need 750 pounds of steel, plastic and rubber to go to the store or run an errand.

Thanks for sharing.. good read and green is coming eh? ;)

Might take a little while to get over the quiet factor.

You would need to install one of those railroad horns to get noticed.... :)

You wouldn't believe how many of those come up missing on locomotives. Feed lots, and missing horns, there is a connection.

$12K for that??? :o :o :o No thanks.
I'll keep my noisy, polluter bike instead.  8)When they come up with one that has the same range and performance... Then I will think about it.
I will admit that it's a great idea and one that I hope will catch on.
