And darn near $20k??!!! I see about a $3,000-$4,000 toy at best. $20k will buy you a really nice adventure touring motorcycle, side by side quad, or a couple of single seat quads, or two really nice dirt bikes.
The issue is the quiet. For the Military, quiet is what you need. And no doubt, the battery system and motors weight a lot.
