How are these LIB nitwits going to “rev up sales”? I bet they will make the taxpayers pay and give them away for free. LOL!

Bikers — many of whom love their noisy combustion engines Nothing dumber than the rider of a Harley with open pipes. Still, There's nothing wrong with the potato sound of a stock Harley. Mind you, it's garbage compared to the sound of a Norton or Ducati. Heh heh heh.

Probably don’t want to travel farther than you are physically able to push it back home. See a lot of the electric scooters being pushed back home around here, but they are young teenagers who can use the exercise.

The Isle of Mann TT race has had an electric motorcycle race for a few years now. But they do only one lap of the 37.73-mile course, because that’s how long the batteries are good for. Now, they are going very fast, but imagine how much battery a bike would need to go 100 miles at highway speeds.

I own and ride 4 2-strokes, 2 RD400’s and 2 RZ500’s. I consider it my Moral Obligation to produce as much Global Warming as I possibly can in an effort to stave off the next ICE AGE, Which is GUARANTEED by ALL Scientists

My neighbor is retired and bought a 3 wheel electric motorcycle and loves it. He drives less than 20 miles away which works good to visit family/friends nearby. Charging it outside in safe area.

With revving engines making lots of noise it's dangerous... Take away that sound and fatal motorcycle accidents will likely double or triple.

Just (today) returned from a 5000 mile Coddiwomple that started on the 5th of Oct and took me through TX, NM, AZ, UT, and WY. My Harley never missed a beat.

Noise or not, I will likely never ride a bike on the road. I’m reminded why everytime I see someone flooring a car or truck through a recently turned red light and nearly getting airborne in the process of doing so. Get mowed under by that on a bike and it’s all over.

Smart MC riders know intersections are death traps regardless of vehicle being used. And why the smart riders will slow slightly, look both ways prior to entering the intersection. Smart motorcyclist fully understand their green light means nothing, zip.
