I can kinda see the excitement, but I think any new technology is interesting. But it should not seem so odd that people are often more moved by visceral things than logic. I wouldn't be so quick to paint people who say "I like the sound of engines and the feel of shifting" as a bunch of troglodytes who won't get with the times. Hell, Phil, your own garage has a low-tech, obsolete Ford moneysink in it, where's the logic in that? And who's complaining? Motorcycling IS visceral, it's what attracts a lot of us to it. And since the range, power, and fuel economy is already great as compared to cars, I'm happy to wait until electric bikes mature. Now commuters, that's a different story. I was just in a place where electric scooters were everywhere, and they made a lot of sense.

On the off chance this thread gets moving again, I'm gonna say that from here on this should be an electric bike thread. So far most of the points have been met with "yeah but" from people who clearly don't like the idea of e-bieks, and that's cool and all, but the 'debate' is going nowhere. If this thread continues, it needs to stick to news / speculation / discussion, etc. Not whether all things electric are a joke or a godsend or whatever. Otherwise, it's no different than going into the Mustang thread and prattling on about the superiority of the Camaro.
