Just what the world needs. A bike that is faster than hell for 3 seconds and then plumb boring after that and the ergonomics and appointments of a moped.


Ok, I'll admit it, I was seriously considering a Tesla Model S P85D. The acceleration 0-60 is very impressive for a big 4 door sedan. But other than that, the car had the handling and interior appointments of a toyota corolla for $125,000. Decided I would be pretty bored with it in very short order. I am not an ecoweinnie and eco-weinnie's do not care about performance nor do they ride crotch rockets. Its just a bad fit.

Much like the hybrid cars before them, pure electric vehicles are a bridge technology that will pass. Heavy and expensive batteries with limited range and long recharge times are not the future.

Once you understand that hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles is not a fuel but rather an energy storage medium, it becomes much easier to see hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as the end goal finally replacing internal combustion engines. All of the driving dynamics improvements of electric drive, range and refueling advantages of liquid fuel vehicles and as green as the electricity source used to make the hydrogen.

Ok, my thoughts for the day on alternative fuel vehicles.

:agree: when you speak of hydrogen fuel-celled vehicles. :2thumbs:
If they had the infrastructure in place, that the petro-industry is enjoying... LOOK OUT! :D

An interesting concept bike. I don't like the Tupperware effect. Also not a fan of electric power. By the time they get it perfected, as in, efficient, long range, quick charge, affordable, etc., etc., I am afraid I will be long gone. :thumbup:

Well said. Hydrogen power has been for many years the direction the world should be traveling in. Unfortunately Hydrogen power has been hurt by the "golden rule". Those who have the gold..........rule. In this case big oil and corrupt government has the gold.

cool design and will be a good machine if your into that. Harley is or was entertaining electric but have trouble with the sound pairing to the reostat throttle...:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

It reminds me of some of the "Art Deco" stuff from the 1930's... :D

...Except that they were MUCH more attractive!

Think "Toaster"... :roflblack:

This actually look a lot like a Harley electric bike at the Wheel Though Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC
I have a friend who has a Zero and loves it, mostly back and forth to work, about 15 miles

I don't know anything about them as machines, but I also think it's ugly.
