A motorbike just for Neal

Time to go green Neal.
Forsake that Suzuki cult.

...and ride...
The electric Harley!

Wait for it.....

So, assuming it runs for more than 5 minute, will it have a sound mod to emulate the Harley engine rumble?

It's an interesting concept, and the article refers to the other electric bikes already out there. At least one of the out-supers the superbikes, but at almost ten times the price. This one will certainly be up there as well.

Still, as much as I dislike Harleys, this one is pretty cool.

Potata, potata, potata, potata. Vroom Vroom.

With the torque curve of electrics, it is not a surprise that even racing cars and some super cars are going hybrid. Not to save gas, but to get that immediate torque.

I wonder how soon will electric cars be competing in drag races?

The only downside being the 53 mile range in high performance mode.

Improve on that with superior battery technology and it should be a winner.

These days, I wish I had time to ride any motorcycle
