Cool - a step in the right direction for an electric commuter. The #1 downside is it's top speed. If you're cruising at 50mph on the highway - you're gonna get run over. They need to get the speed up a little. I see that with it's minimum range - I could easily get to work and back - nice!


The price is conspicuously missing. If it costs more then a few thousand - it would take a LONG time for it to pay for itself VS a typical motorcycle.

Supposedly THIS one can do 70mph. Costs about $10k.

Single Speed Direct Chain Drive?


Couldn't they have added gears to make this thing go faster?


I mean.. look at the size of that rear sproket... compared to the front. whith a couple of gear option this thing could go MUCH faster..

If it was cheep I would use one for going to work but I think the warrior is more fun.

If I didnt have to get on the highway to get to work, this would be perfect.
