I need one of these EV motorcycles

Probably the nicest one yet.

I do an EV Motorcycle search everynow and again. They are getting better and better. Can't wait until I can get a good one with a 50+ mile range, reasonable speed and reasonable price.

Ohh. Just read the article. They are getting close.

I'd love to test ride one of these. It's a nice looking ride ...but I would imagine it's pretty quiet. Would you even hear it coming?

one of the comments in one of the blogs I read about it brought that up. Along with the lack of shifting / running through the gears. He/she worried that it would be sort of flat to ride. No 'soul'. I have some of the same concerns. But I still want one. Sure puts a damper on the "Loud Pipes Save Lives" crowd.
