The electricity is being produced anyway, in my part of the country mostly by hydro power. May as well use it. At least these wouldn’t be driving all over spewing fumes and noise like the two-stroke motors they usually run.
There’s no such thing as two-stroke motorcycles anymore. I’m not sure when the last one was produced, but it seems like it been close to 20 years since I’ve seen a new two-stroke for sale (at least in US).
There are no mainstream NEW 2-stroke motorcycles. They've been banned in CA, and no manufacturer wants to build a mass market item that cannot be sold in CA.
The point is, they are claiming "Zero emissions". That is not possible, since only 6.2% of electricity comes from hydropower in the US.
This bike is a fraud, just like "Zero emission" electric cars.
Two-stroke motors are being phased out, even for lawnmowers and leaf blowers; the only street bikes still make with 2-stroke motors are 50cc scooters and even a lot of those are 4-stroke now.
YAH right, until the environazis or the EPA decide to return your water storage area “back to nature” .....
