and there is just no reason that this type of ride cant be every bit as fast as its gas powered relatives or even faster!

Every car company is coming out with hybrid. I think it’s time for the motorcycle company to come out with there own version of hybrid or electric ride.

I got nothing against an electric engine…

..but i need NOISE. Apart from the fact that drivers don’t exactly look out for riders (ESPECIALLY in my country) loud pipes have actually been a saving grace.

Yes, the design is kinda creative, as someone mentioned earlier, but i don’t like it very much.

An electric motorcycle seems to be the ultimate efficient commuter vehicle

Yep. After riding the Vectrix, I love the idea of an electrically, or fuel-cell powered bike. I don’t know what other people think on this, it’s hard to imagine a market in the future where we don’t have petrol engines, but it’s coming. Bike magazine this month wrote a really good piece on how 2005 was the height of sports-bike engine development and since then all engineering work has gone into meeting the tightening emissions laws.

For me, and I guess most bikers, the weirdest concept is the different noise, or near total loss of noise. A sports-bike engine on full-chat is music to my ears, yet the whirring-up of an electric motor is also interesting. I’m imagining the day when an electric bike runs along side the R1’s and GSX-R’s in WSB. Like the 500 two-strokes and 1000cc four-strokes did in MotoGP in 2002/3.

Zero Emission TT will be one to keep an eye on in the future.
