ASTRONAUTS COULD BE SHREDDING ON THE MOON’S SURFACE WITH THIS FULLY-ELECTRIC MOON MOTORBIKE

The astronauts should leave their hobbies at home and focus on work…

Exactly. Try riding around on your bike with a 300 lb backpack on.

Weight is one sixth, inertia remains the same. I expect that you can go in a straight line, until you fall over or launch yourself into space.

It’s a rubber bon bon.

“Wheels are too narrow for the rocky terrain and would wreck quickly.”

Not just that, those airless tires might have some give and cushion here on earth weighing at 300 lbs, but on the Moon weighing only 50 lbs they are going to be as hard as concrete. May as well just make the rims all solid without the tires because there will be no difference anyhow.

In the future, the Moon will be their home..............

to play a part in interstellar mobility

Riding around on the surface of the moon is not "interstellar mobility", looks fun though.

Fly me to the Moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what Spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars......................

And if the band your in
Is playing different tunes

I’ll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon

In that case, I insist we choose Marxist liberals, and yes, they can bring their hobbies.

Got to keep the Loonies on the path.................

I hope my legs don’t break...shredding on the Moon...

LOL! Thread winner right there, I don't care who you are!

At least it runs on electricity, rather than gasoline, as burning gas would put carbon into the moon’s atmosphere and heat it up even more.

Doesn’t look as impressive as the LVR used in the late sixties. Amazing the lunar module was able to store and bring it to the moon. Did we leave the LVR’s on the moon or bring them back?

Imagine this, but in slow motion with 1/6th gravithy:

[Red Badger]

Left them there................

[Red Badger]

That girl has her own gravity..................

[dfwgator]

[Woodman]

Just send them up some Segways with modified lunar wheels and all carbon frame components.

[Arlis]

Those tires won’t lean in turns.......major problem even with the light gravity.........motorcycles cannot turn w/o leaning.......(been riding for 58 years....)
