70 MPH electric cycle $8,000
> 8,000 dollars.
> 70 MPH > 35/60 mile range > 1.5 hr. quick charge > Doesn't look stupid Electric Motorsport :: Electric GPR Besides the really high price, the things that I see wrong with it would be that it has a Briggs and Straton motor, and only a one year warranty, a battery that is not as e-friendly as it's competition ( the slower off road 'zero motorcycle' ) and ... it doesn't have air conditioning, stereo, GPS,iPod hookups, or cup holder warmers. ( I'm afraid the lack of cup holder warmers on this thing will surely doom it to failure ) |
Very cool! Located relatively close to where I live too. May have to go over & do a test ride... :)

It's a great idea and look good too. However, I fear for bikers now in traffic because no one sees or hears them coming.
This is just silent death for the city commuter. |
Oh, no you don't! Let's NOT re-ignite the "loud pipes save lives" debate! Please.

haha .. no I wasn't heading there, I was simply stating that bikes are not respected on the roads currently, partly because of the idiot riders, now multiply that effect with a silent bike and we'll see how long before you have to have a bell on the handle bars .. lol |

I have only heard good things about it so far. The original Etek was used on lots of motorcycles, including mine. The new one has better specs than the originals did. |

The horn on my electric motorcycle works fine.
I have thought about adding a bell to it as well, because getting a bell rung at you just seems much friendlier than being honked at! I like when I am out walking that fast-moving bicyclists will ring their bell to let me know they are passing. Noise (or much less of it) isn't a problem with electrics, other than in a parking lot where there are problems with visibility and people don't expect you to be moving yet. |

Very cool i.m.o.
Biggest selling features - it goes far enough for me without looking like I welded together a bunch of trash. |
