don't be so negative, but it must be one of the ugliest. imagine a low centre of gravity.

[mashman]

Wonder if it'll pull like the freight train it looks.

[Tazz]

Looks no worse than one of those massive V8 bikes to me.

[sidecar bob]

that's one fuckin impressive front stopper! its got to be 400mm at least.

Positive? Negative? I think this calls for a poll ... or a pole ...

[bogan]

That seems to have missed the mark on both Tesla's styling, and motorcycle's styling.

A centre of gravity well below the roll axis is bloody awful, quite frankly.

Ugh. There are a number of L'eccy bike manufacturers begging to use the Tesla charging system and battery tech but getting nowhere. And Tesla/E. Musk release this concept?:tugger: Fubar.

Can it fly to Mars?

[Oakie]

Given that it's an electrickery bike ... I don't think it looks that bad :o

OMG. I've had an epiphany! In 100 years when petrol is just a memory and all vehicles are electric, what will Hollywood do to replace cars bursting into flames as they fly off cliffs etc. The sound of a short circuit sparking perhaps?

Sleep easy, a future in pyrotechnics for the film industry still firmly exists for now:

You not seen Sylvester in his future mans rampage?

Pffft, don't be silly. The cars will just explode as usual... just like enormous explosions in space that don't need oxygen for the fire :brick:

Heh - I think I need to re-watch Demolition man again....

There's often oxidiser in space though, you know, to make the rockets work :innocent: even o2 tanks for the breathing...

Nah, wasn't the batton that did it, t'was a faulty Shorai under the bonnet.

I owned a Lotus car briefly. What a shoddy pile of shit that was, hopefully the bike is a bit better.

I thought they had released all the patents for those? Was that not actually what was done or are they looking to purchase prepared components?

[bogan]
