Could this be what the future holds? AND the Brits lead the way. This one's for you Sean, much more character then the Brutale. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_48 /b4011432.htm?chan=search! |

Where the heck do they get off using a belt on a dirt bike ? It'll never work I tell you. |

That's why it can get from a standing start to 30 mph in a mere 7.3 seconds and achieve top speeds of 50 mph. You gotta hand it to us Brit's. That's the first moonbike the worlds ever seen. Too fast for me on those thin tyres though. Never the less, pretty impressive performance quotes. That's almost Buell territory. Well ok, not quite Rocket |

I saw this a while back, and went all over their website. given that its a design exercise to prove a whole new concept in power supply, the least you can say is that it goes, and does what they claim.....now they HAVE a functioning showpiece, and can get investors involved in something thats not just a blue-sky project, the next generation could prove to be quite interesting. I've done a bit of work with electric go karts, and am a certified mobility tech for the 2 big N.American manufacturers - don't knock electric drives, its the power packs that need the work, and thats what they're attempting to resolve. |

Nice concept, but with design skills like that it is no wonder the British bike industry disapeared! |

It needs number plates. I think "I need more number plate" will be the next "I need more cow bell". (Message edited by JScott on November 21, 2006) |
