I like it it doesn't look like every 0ther bike out there. I suspect it just may use a gearbox. Perhaps not in my riding lifetime but electric bikes are coming when they get weight/energy storage issues resolved the have the potential t make my turbo busa look like it is standing still

Awww come on Dave,you're WAY smarter than that! You know that they'll have all kinds of controls,kinda like an electric forklift. Although,I also think that it is fugly! I agree that I don't want it to necessarily look like every other bike but yeesh. BTW why not just modify an existing chassis?

one thing they wont get past though is the range/weight issue and the fact that you are just displacing the cost of creating that energy (id rather just do it myself thanks)

I noticed that they don't discuss weight...although they claim range is 150 which is about the same as your bike... hey,I'm not married to the I.C.E.,I don't care if they start using little nuclear reactors to power bikes as long as the cost and performance is the same or better,it's all good for me! |

the ice has such character to it though. It speaks to your souls in a way that an electric whine never could
