in all fairness, I was extremely drunk when I wrote at all that. I'm pleasantly pleased with myself for how few typeos I made.Please don't persist in trying to hook this into the overarching issue of electric versus internal combustion power. Trust me I'm not, and I'd sincerely appreciate it if you'd extend me that same courtesy. If everyone of these "brilliant ideas" bore fruit, we'd all be riding around on Segues. If it's a toy you want, and don't mind looking stupid while you're playing with it, buy a hover board.
Let's confine ourselves to the topic. (Yes, I know how strange that sounds coming from me). The "motorcycle" in this article is trash. It has approximately the same functionality as a mini bike. The people who are pushing it are hoping to tag the gung-ho "electric power everything now set", for every dollar they can possibly milk out of the stupidly rich and trendy.
What truly amazes me is, how the two us read the same sentence, and come away with entirely different interpretations.
To wit, "it goes 35 miles between charges". I call that "nowhere". You seem to think that's "everywhere".
Then too, I'm wondering what the process or likelihood of this contraption even being approved for use on public roads. You know, being issued a license plate. Where could you go with it, certainly not on the interstates. I'm pretty sure that being given approval for a licensed vehicle, carries with it the expectation of being able to keep up with traffic on route 95.
The most charitable classification I could assign to this bike is that it's,
" the alpha forerunner of a possible prototype".
They're trying to reverse crowd fund the monstrosity, as they'd likely get laughed off of Kickstarter, the minute they hung a price tag on it. (With that said, it's gets mitigated somewhat by the fact, there are some really stupid people spraying money around over there).
I will stand by my drunken statements, though.
