For the last four weeks or so there have been three of these battery powered things where I live, took one for a drive. Pretty impressive a lot more toey than I thought it would be!

Haha but the bikes are much cooler............. Problem is if they are charged from a domestic power point in victoria for example, they have a carbon footprint equivelant to a six cylinder falcodore because of the dirty coal needed to make power. So everyone who buys these $40,000 vehicles should cough up for a solar charged battery bank or just buy a new vw up! and save $25,000
