Oracle 195 Posted October 17, 2014 These electric bikes sure are getting enticing. I think one draw back would be the continuous advancement and the fact that you are likely to have an obsolete bike a couple years.

TrophyHunter 15 Posted October 17, 2014 Rode a coworkers FX a while back. In sport mode the acceleration is very quick......and eerily quiet. I found it hard to get used to no noise but it was a fun ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vacman 0 Posted October 17, 2014 The future of motorcycles, as surely as the Tesla is the future of motoring. I gotta say though, there's something unnerving about this video's lack of noise, particularly in the dirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Champ 116 Posted October 17, 2014 That's total B.S., How do you know how impressive you are with no noise? I would have to at least clothespin a playing card into the spokes, opps showing my age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanjoosten 4 Posted October 17, 2014 Those are awesome, but like a mountain bike with a squeaky crank, every noise that normally gets drowned out by the sweet sound of a thumper would drive me insane...

Dirtdiver 2 Posted October 17, 2014 Wow, that is pretty cool! I would actually like not have the motor sound. Also, imagine the covert urban riding you could get away with. DD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dress4Less 162 Posted October 17, 2014 Wow, that is pretty cool! I would actually like not have the motor sound. Also, imagine the covert urban riding you could get away with. DD It would be a whole new world of "hooliganing"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afry 1 Posted October 17, 2014 Electric is interesting but if we are talking about out of the norm - I want one of these: http://www.fxbikes.com/models/[/url Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted October 17, 2014 I'll take one of those too, Afry! Dang, now my "ideal list" of motorcycles is up to 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
