Electric Motorcycle Put to Work, Thank Goodness it’s Not a Harley

Rare Footage Captures Phenomenon that Angers Dentists and Tooth Fairy
by Jason Giacchino

In the event that you’ve been living in a cave of late, analysts, politicians, lithium battery manufacturers, the media and just about everyone else seem to be touting the virtues of electric motors (and the doom of internal combustion in the process).

We’re a little leery of the science behind some of these claims but it appears a few innovated kids aren’t letting political agendas or pie graphs get in the way of genuine ingenuity.

The formula looks pretty sound to us: Take a kid with a loose tooth, get his slightly masochistic older sister (who apparently needs a breath-mint) on an electric-powered mini, add a length of string and a father with way too much time on his hands, and we just may have something even Al Gore can be proud of.

Of course four out five dentists recommend more traditional tooth removal practices, such as tying a brick to be lofted from the top of a skyscraper, or harnessing the tooth to a pack of malnourished rottweilers and then tossing a fresh sirloin in their direction.

And as a side note to environmentalists everywhere, the two-stroke sound effects were clearly added in postproduction to increase the drama quotient.
