Electric bikes?
http://zeromotorcycles.com/ Work safe. No idea if it's a Ginge. If it is... well, enjoy a second helping. It's a trials style bike, and obviously hasn't the range for a decent ride, but the future, it's a coming boss. |

Nice machine. If a road going bike could be built... and charged in just 5 minutes as it claims... then a new world awaits. Who do you think will be the first with a production electric road bike? Sounds like a Honda, but I bet Kawasaki would make it more fun! |

Saw one of these at a show somewhere: http://www.electricmoto.com/gallery....gallery_blade# If the noise problems continue or more likely worsen as we get more crowded, they might save MX tracks around the country. Already one of my local tracks, Washbrook, don't allow engines to be run in the paddock and have had to build a twelve foot straw bale wall to shield nearby houses. The main problem is the four-strokes: the noise carries far further than a stroker's ring-a-ding-ding. -- -Pip |
