Tired of working for the gas pump???

[Wicked Webby]

I found this site just browsing around for all electric motorcycles...

Sounds pretty cool for commuting... Top speed 70 mph (needs to be at least 80) for 60 miles on a single charge... Charges in 4 hours and/or quick charges in 1.5 hrs.

Whats cool is that it is pretty cheap.. Available.. They have 3 models...

That'd be nice to have as a commuter to work.....and eight grand ain't a bad deal.

Gramps,

You right... This option would obviously require me to check-in early to the Hazelton 12 step speed control program at the University.....

Naw... I can always start my recovery after the fossil fuels dry up!!

HAhahahahah...

I hope it comes with synthesized real internal combustion engine sound, or has an optional card to put in the spokes to make a motor putt-putt sound of some sort....

I could just zip around on a bike going, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz down the road.

I'd only have to ride it like 100,000 miles to get my money back in gas savings. :blink:

Very Cool! I'm actually thinking I may look into it's street legality up here. Awsome commuter... but I had to laugh at the "Optional touring cases and windshield"... where whould I tour in 45 min intervals!

Can you send some of your free electricity up here? My power bills are big enough already!

See your future, gents..

Curb weight is under 300 lbs. Wonder why they didn't include some more battery capacity/range? Maybe no place to put it and keep it looking like a conventional motorcycle?

Wonder too, how many kwh it takes to charge?

* Edit * By my calculations... their motor uses 7000 watts/7 kw per hour. Looks like the batteries are designed for one hour at roughly 60 mph.

After adding RD, Starcom, Zumo, and heated gear... what's the range?

 

[HaulinAshe]

$ 3,300 for 15-cell battery setup

$ 1,580 for a regenerative braking, 15-hp drive system

Sounds like I just found a use for Scab's old FJR frame!
