Ran across this tonight kind of cool.

With the crossbow I wonder if it is Daryl approved?

Oh yes. The Iphone on the handlebars will be great with the grid down. I guess you can listen to Itunes...Oh wait the net is down too.

Well there’s the GOP/Mapping...Oh wait that won’t work either.

Does no one THINK about the basics when designing this stuff?

My first motorcycles were a Whizzer, then a Moped. Like your first love, you never forget them.

Is that a scope on the righthand side? What kind of weapon is that?

Looks great - until you run out of gas. Then it’s a millstone around your neck.

Just sayin’

I read years ago about a diesel motorcycle that got over 100 mpg and had more power than this. In fact, the problem with diesel motorcycles is making a drive line that can handle the load.

I want one. I don't know why exactly, but I want one.

Uh....there’s another $1K-$2K dripping off of this tricked out version.

I’d replace the crossbow w my AR.

Carry backpack on my front for better balance.

I had just a simple little yellow moped I bought second hand with baskets over the rear tire for carrying things. I bought it in the 80's for WTSHTF. In my mind, I've been prepping for a long time and had some basic plans in my head for living off the grid.

The first thing I did when my sister and I inherited two farms in the 1980's was to try to refurbish the old well with a pump. I had a well company look at it but they said the casing was broken. I kinda of knew what that meant but wasn't sure.

Now the water table has dropped, and we've had to go really deep. I don't know if a well hand pump would work on a deep well or not. I don't know a lot of things obviously.

I’d buy it in an instant, if it had a bench seat and pegs for my pillion.

Looks good as your reserve vehicle for mounting on the back of your 4x4.

Might need a better seat if you plan on using that 500 mile range, though.

...solar panel charger on the handle crossbar & the FLIR infrared option for the smartphone would be good. Might want to load some roadmap images just in case the grid+GPS sats are down, too.

Gee, anybody’d look rugged riding that.

For about a minute and a half, until some Harley blew by blowing smoke in the rider’s face.

A bicycle is just a bicycle, even if it does have a little motor.

500 miles a gallon is a lot of not walking.

Limited food supply makes any thing that conserves energy is very useful.

For the price one can buy a real used smaller MC that most likely be a lot more durable.

I like the idea but for what you are getting one should buy a real motor-cross or duel sport bike.

Anyone have any thought on electric bicycles?

I love the accessories, but would prefer a larger gas tank.

It does look cool but for the terrain it’s designed for, I can’t help but think about all the parts on it that could rattle loose and fall off...........LOL!
