I saw some electric dirt bikes at a show a wile back and thought they were a good idea...apart from the charging time.

Another way to look at it is :- If people dont notice you when you have the enging howling...how do they stand a chance if the bike is silent..?

An electric motor of that sort of power is far from silent. In any case if "people dont notice you when you have the enging howling..." nothing has changed.

so it's more of a case of "if people dont notice you when you have the engine whining like a yak being fed through a pasta maker..." then?:mrgreen:
