Rode an electric bike today

[Big Dave]

Cruise style unit. Performance seemed similar to a DR650 150km range.

I'll stick some pics on the KR site after the footie.

You guys were right - Mmmmmm instant torrrrqqqquuee.

proliferation is now inevitable.

give me a 350km range (from a 1hour charge) and litrebike performance i'm at the head of the queue.

and in the not too distant future

edit:- would prefer sprot style unit

Yeah,...the "START" button will be for "turn off"......

And it'll stop working when you're in the middle of turning in a tiny gap on the motorway. No thanks!

Whats this "motorway" thing you speak of?

i'm longin to get involved.
i can give you about 1000 km of range with 1 minute of "charge"...
i just need some money to prepare a prototype... not even so much actually: i think i can test the theory with less than 20k €...
interested?

Does anyone know of any manufacturers moving towards hydrogen engines? It seems to me like a lot of electric cars were hopeless because of this no range, long charge issue - but now they're moving towards hydrogen cells, so instead of charging at at socket you fill up at a station, but it still uses an electric motor (and the only byproduct is water).
Cleaner on the environment because there are no acid filled batteries and no need for coal powered electricity, too...

I've heard quite a bit about it in terms of cars, but nothing in terms of bikes - if they move that way I would be keen as if I had the money!
(One thing that would piss me off though is lack of gears... I like shifting for corners/pulling off at the lights!)
