dynax Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Then SMIDSY will become SMIDSHY (hear), and more accidents will be blamed on bikers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithers Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Luddites, the lot of you. What next? Bikes with automatic transmission; heaven forbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Luddites, the lot of you. I am all for them but until the pig ignorant motorists gain some common sense and become less selfish ( they won't ever be unselfish), then they are a future disaster waiting to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a myth that loud bikes are safer, they're not. Also take a look at the video link. The technology going into this bike is just awesome.

JRH Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 It’s the 3 hour charge time that kills it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 [mention]Smithers[/mention] a bike doesn't need loud pipes to be heard, i can clearly hear bikes approaching from the back of me well before i can see them, but a lot of motorists will use any excuse they can to try and justify their own lack of common sense and selfishness when on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithers Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 It’s the 3 hour charge time that kills it for me. I agree, battery technology has a long way to go. But the range on this bike is such, that it's good enough for a blatt but a bike you would never tour on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they're just plain fun I would go for one when charging and battery technology improves.Can’t fault the torque and power delivery from electric motors.
