Nope.

No way.

I ain't riding no hog that don't grunt.

From "potato, potato, potato", to "bzzz, bzzz"?

I think not.

Looks pretty cool but the 100 mile range isn’t very attractive....

Dress up like a pirate and ride in the middle of the road... Felt like a little abuse this good morning.

Limited range: 70 miles of highway range, 146 city.

Not for long “Easy Rider” trips, but fun while the batteries last.

Range needs to be tripled. That’s probably ten to twenty years out.

Just what motorcyclist need, even less noise for cages to know they are on the road....

Prediction:

Death and accident rate will be higher for riders of electric bikes over combustion bikes once enough of them are on the road to do meaningful analytics

Bikers who are environmentally conscious? What would be the name of this biker club? The Tofu boys?

This week I bought a new electric lawn mower. It is far more than adequate for the job. I can believe a battery operated motorcycle is much more viable thn an all electric automobile.

It is very interesting. I doubt my Harley riding buddies would be interested though.
I wonder if it comes with a loudspeaker with a recording that emits the traditional Harley rumble and all?...LOL.
They’ve taken the world’s most efficient machine for creating the most noise from gasoline with the least amount of horsepower and turned it into...well....I dunno. :)

An 80 percent charge takes just 40 minutes.

As with all electrical vehicles, range/charge time/price all have to change a bit before they become really useful.

I hope that this occurs. Petrochemicals are too valuable for us to just burn.

All the same, ‘would be nice to have this bike.

Stupid.

They are wimpifying and going after the skinny jeans crowd.

Likely will keep manufacturing off shore, too.

I will not buy their stock.

The problem is that the electric drain by the amplifer and speakers to play the obnoxious pipe sound.

The general consistency is that this bike is completely gay.

“At $29,799,” It’s a rich man’s toy. But then, Radio shack, back in the early 70’s, sold a simple hand calculator for $150 1970 dollars, so it might get cheaper.

Frankly, it should be cheaper than a gas powered motorcycle, and probably will be some day fairly soon.

I rode for 35 years before my health put a stop to it. Knew a lot of riders. Can’t think of a single one that would go for something like this. I’m wondering who is their market?
