I know what you mean Brengunner, I am of much the same view with 4 wheels.. Electrically powered vehicles are called Milk Floats. The IC engine is the integral part of personal transport due to sound, vibration etc. Having said that I am not averse to putting an alternative fuel into it so that I don't kill the planet, preferably made from a recycled waste product that we seem to have so many of that we have to export!
Electricity can be very good for boiling kettles,trimming beards,or generating kitten pictures on the internet,but...fzzzzzzzz when open the throttle rather than BRAAAAAAHHH!!!...not for me i'm afraid...my offspring may have no choice,but i'll stick to burning fossil fuel derivatives,merci...""OO"" NO apologies for Luddite attitude,my opinion only...:)>
Ive been on one there terrible you have no idea when the power is comming ,you carnt feel if you need to change gear and you carnt even tell when there switch ed ffs and the worst theres no noise wtf how many people will get killed cos cars carnt hear you ? thousands id say
You can't beat the noise of a noisy exhaust also you can identify many motorcycles by them can you imagine a Harley with batteries however I guess people will not have a choice one day, we will have to listen to uTube how it use to be
Having been at the TT when the electrics were first unveiled there I can't say I'm any more of a fan now but I went on an electric crosser half day thing a few years back and that was bloody brilliant fun 🤗
Maybe if they can make the technology small enough we could have a hybrid, quiet and socially acceptable to those who don't understand two wheels (or 3 no offence to trikers) vehicle in town and then grab a big handful on the open road and the noise cuts in?
