05-03-2009, 09:25 AMThanks to those enterprising and good-humoured Swiss, we now have a dual sport alternative to those polluting bikes of ours.
For a mere 9566 euros (12,698.37 USD) you can have this electric bike with a range of about 30 mins running and a recharge time of 2 hours...the power output is a respectable 11 HP.
The publicity shots show the bike in the great outdoor...how do you recharge it there?. It's made by an outfit called Quantya Telemetric
Lots more pictures here, including a close up view of the transmission. This is all-exposed to the elements and should last about an hour...

Here's this intrepid Swiss chap, looking all windswept and interesting...all dressed-up and nowhere to go...

05-03-2009, 10:11 AMWell forchetto , as soon as the Swiss Cheezers design a Solar Suit that will charge the bike in the rain too while riding the bike , then they gotta winner .
I wonder if it has Hi-Fi Sterio so it sounds like a Moto ?
Half hour run time ? It takes me that long to tune my bike after I start it , let it warm up right , grap a smoke , put my ride gear on . Well at least I can take a 2 hour break after that . Am I supposed to plug this thing in , in my ass ? Does it run on an extension cord too , may work well for a minute on my track till I run out of cord ?
$12,000 USD ? That's four good China bikes right there without Solar Suits ?
They must smoke good dope there ? Or real bad dope ? I like the looks of the belt drive primary , ought to crush rocks well , at least the first one But the most important thing I want to know is can it pop a wheelie :
Cheers, Snortin
PS...........They really ought have put a nice black and white milk cow in the backround picture to match the ride gear.

Maybe they can recharge it by pushing it backwards....

KTM are about to release there first electric bike soon.First impressions of the bike say it ain't to bad but it needs some work.
There is a electric drag bike in the USA was doing 8 seconds down the quarter mile two or three years ago must be doing under 8 seconds now.
I think electric motorcycles could be the way of the future.
Plenty of electric bikes in China seem to be going OK.

I have a zero emission off-road bike! It's called a mountain bike!
Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.

05-03-2009, 05:19 PMThe inventive British have come up with a methane powered version. The low budget means that development is a bit slow...

07-17-2009, 12:35 AMI swear that's how I am going to die. Run over by an electric bike here in China. They are silent, and ridden by the most brain dead morons on the planet.

Oh man...crack heads on electric bikes in China...especially early in the mornings when everyone rides like they're drunk. I actually got nailed by one in the morning when I was riding a bicycle to class. Dude clipped me at full speed running around a corner on a slimey damp morning and then looked at me like it was my fault!
What I love is the cool boys who ride the electric bikes while checking themselves out in the side mirror and honking their little beepy horn at people as they wrecklessly swerve down the street. I reckon the swerving must give them more ways to appreciate their narcicism from different angles in the mirror.
