Interesting...

So it's about 25,000p or $42,000USD. Extra for a road kit. Little pricey.

It looks pretty dam cool, though. So you can log into your bike from the web now?...lol.. And instead of starting it, it takes a few seconds to boot up.

I wonder how it "runs"...?

Yeah, I'd agree with this one.

Since the bikes will be so quiet they should build in a speaker to imitate exhaust sound lol

Still, interesting project

If they did have speakers i would require a way to mount 2 12innch subs on the bike! I like people to notice me!

It only looks good cuz of the damn KTM RC8 chassis


so these guys can build an electric engine and yet they can't do their own bodywork?!

Well, engineering is just like art, but it's art of digits and symbols put together and made to work.

Frame/chassis/bodywork is partially engineering too, but very different. Artistic art I should say, gotta have a talent for this one.

My thoughts?

1. Seems to have a good pedigree.

2. Beautiful bike. The lines of it are perfect with the high rear tail section and all encompassing bodywork.

3. I would love to have one. Probably out of my price range though.

I saw this revealed a while back, I like the idea of it but it wouldnt be my only bike... I think an electric bike would be wicked with the instant torque.. I mean our bikes already have acceleration but the torque would make it insane.. I want to ride one atleast. anyone have a cool 100k I can borrow?
