Quote of the Day

"The coolest thing about these cars is the noise...Forty-three electric cars rolling by going 'weeeeeee' just isn't all that cool."

-Darrell Waltrip in this article.

That's why electric motorcycles are not going to catch on. Well, you'll see a bunch of smaller electric motorcycles and scooters that will get you to and from work. But you won't see a highway cruiser go electric and be popular in the US. I wouldn't mind an electric bike to go to work with.

Personally I am not a big fan of loud bikes.

If I could ride a bike it would be something like a Buell Ulysses.
In which case I think an electric motor would be a nice addition.

But I understand your point. The amount of money that is spent making Harley's loud now is outrageous.

We're going through the same thing with racing RC cars. With brushless motors and Li-Po batteries, it is far more ecconomical to run electric than nitro. But nobody will make it popular because the noise is awesome.
