Ran these at MotoGP, fun to watch but withoot the engine noise it was easy to miss. Should be a much bigger hit in years to come.

 

I was skimming the sci/tech section of google news and seen the article. I hadn't see these yet.

 

I can't ride something that does not make noise. I hope all these ideas lose their ground!

 

Cool!

Good stuff Junyr thanks for posting this up,but Holy Smokes talk about "junk in da trunk". Yikes! :scared:

 

Interesting, that's cool! Looks like a Hayabusa frame & topcowl and a GSXR1000 swingarm. What I'm looking forward to is when that type of technology hits the consumer market. Can you imagine how reliable something like that would be when they have ironed the bugs out, there are like 4 moving parts !

Roehr has a cool electric bike too. What I find funny is that their basic bike is a Hyosung GT250R just like mine:

First electric roadracer, that's cool. Even though it weighs 585lbs the top end on that bike is unreal. I wonder what racing in the rain would do to it. ZAP!

here's what the drag bikes are doing. Check the speed in the 1/4 mile.

And why is that? If you need noise, stick a card in the spoke . didn't you ever ride a bicycle?

 

you could fart on the seat as well

 

Attach a Vuvuzela to it. Simple and light modification.

 

Holy cow, wikipedia has more info on this than some historical figures!

 

funny when the bikes ran the Isle of Man they did not have tha batteries on the tail section.

I would like to think that a 6 lap run on a 3 mile track you would need less batteries.
hope to see this class progress into something viable for street use, with a over 100 mile range some day.
