Off Topic - Electric Crotch Rocket
Check out this video clip, this guy could have killed himself with the reckless way he does a burn-out with this 400 HP electric bike. What an idiot.

RE: Off Topic - Electric Crotch Rocket
Well I dont know if he can be tagged as an idot maybe just unlucky ( he said the control stuck ) but more interestingly 400hp I firmly believe that we have just seen the future of economical commuting for the masses with maybe 50hp being more realistic. You dont need lots of HP with an electric motor as the massive torque these motors produce with push you back in the saddle more than you think. I for one can see myself riding to & from work on a electric bike and keep my HD for the weekends and real riding.

RE: Off Topic - Electric Crotch Rocket
Reckless, yea... but WOW, 400 HP, GlennsGlide is right, this could be the future to a whole bunch of market potential. Commuter, Crotch Rocket, but no noise? Ever flown a glider? Cool as all get out, but the wind is noisy as can be. Guess the van never heard him coming, ouch, change pants, @#%&*.... [/align]

Quite a machine. Could be more of these on the road someday with that kind of performance. Too bad the fellow wasn't wearing some protection.

Hey, It'll be great until the EPA figures out a way to screw with it.

back on topic, I'm excited about the idea of anything that puts more bikers on the road and less cages!
