Quick caveat......the third post in the thread - that I posted - is not an electric motorbike (obviously).

But I thought it was pertinent to the discussion of options considered of electric models when comparing to similar sized motorized cycles.

I already have quite a few gas powered cycles, so for me choosing an electric unit would be the goal.

As far as loud pipes saving lives. I think it's like a lot of things. Not going to be 100% positive but not going to be 100% negative, either. Somewhere in between.

That said - I would never use that as a criteria when choosing one of these. I actually hate loud noise coming from anything I drive/ride. Whisper quiet is my cup of tea. In other words....stealth mode!

I live on a barrier island beach town and on week day nights it's a great time to ride around. Not a lot of traffic and on a motorcycle it can clear the head. Cruising along on one of these electrics would be a blast!
