electric motorcycle
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:18 pm
A few years ago I was closely following the Ariel Atom, and got on the
mailing list of the pending U.S. supplier. Once these Atoms became
available in the U.S. their price far exceeded my expectations, but I
remained on the list. Below is a notice I received from them today
regarding an upcoming electric bike. Not too bad looking for this sort of
thing. 45 mile range, 50mph top speed, clutchless, 275lb, 3-hr 110v
recharge, etc. Won't take the place of normal motorcycles for most
purposes but I guess it could find its niche in a variety of urban/commuter
settings. Encouraging, though - with the relentless march of technology
maybe soon there could be available electric bikes with a cost/performance
ratio that makes them attractive to a wide variety of consumers. I can't
get the autos.msn link to work, but maybe you can.
