It seems like all the decent electric motorcycles are @ or near the 10k range.

Reading the lineup it really sounds exciting. I hope we can see some decent video coverage of the event.

Movito

Inhabitat » The Transforming Movito Electric Scooter

The Movito is an eco-friendly electric scooter that recently took top honors in NASA’s Create the future Design Contest. Designed by Tai Chiem, the vehicle is propelled by a carbon-cutting in-wheel electric motor located within a modular base that can be detached to form a two-seat vehicle.

re. the GPR-s - That's the first sport bike I've seen in about 15 years that has twin rear springs on the swingarm. VERY old-school for a bike with a modern powerplant. Are these left-over gliders from a forgotten project?

I believe they're sourcing the bodies from a Thai company who makes gas versions of them.

VIDEO: ZERO X puts on camo, goes hunting

Having a motocross bike that can carry you through the woods with a certain amount of stealth might be rather advantageous for riders who would prefer not scare off all the wildlife in the vicinity.

I keep trying to turn up the sound. :tongue:

Good thing they put all that river running in there cause on the trails it just seems like a coasting mountain bike.

Ready for summer? ECO electric jetski is


If people really can't hear EVs coming, I wonder whether they would want to be swimming in the path of this...

 

[graham]

We should legislate that all electric jetskis have speakers on the front which play the theme from "Jaws"...

 

[TEG]

A requirement from the blind surfers lobby?

I had no problem either at home with FF nor at work with IE6.0...
that said, the addy ends with .ece which may be the problem.
