That's pretty cool...  O0

... I'm waiting for the howls of anguish from the 'loud zorst is safe zorst' cadre! ....  ;)


But I have an idea for them too.... Get a clothes peg or cabletie , get some oil bottle plastic side and make a flapper ... Fix it on so the flapper thwaps against the wheel spokes..... "Noisy" zorst!! ... Maybe even Harley-esque  :flipoff:

... Not a fan of those Li-ion batteries though... Ain't they the super toxic planet ones? ... Or is that the nickel cadmium jobbies?

and with another thought....

Brammo .... i rather imagine that is what Kim Jong-Un .. current young hipster leader of North Korea .. might be saying when he sets off one of his new 'test reactors' .. "ha! Brammo MufaFarker! .. yu jus' wait Amelican Devirrrrs!"

I don't think electric bikes will really take off until they can make one that does 80 mph and costs under $6,000. Getting it to go faster wouldn't be a huge deal since on the interstate you'd run out of juice in under an hour.

The main thing that's going to get people to switch to electric is cost, and when I can easily pick up a good running gs500 for $2000... that's a heck of a lot of gas before it breaks even. And most of the people that have the money to buy a new bike aren't too concerned about gas cost anyways.
