I say bring it on. It would be awesome to have a track in my backyard even though I live in a neighborhood.

It would be so weird to have a gate drop, and not hear anything.

Will it do a willy? How can you possibly control it through the hoops since there's no clutch lever on which to keep your finger?

I'm still waiting for this one to show up.
KTM electric bike
Right now my neighbor blows a fuse if I putt putt my bike 2 laps around the yard to warm it up before changing the oil. (He has no problem running his stupid lawn tractor all weekend long)
He is going to get so frustrated once I get an electrical bike: I'll have fun in my own yard and he won't be able to complain! Heck, I'll buy several and run a neighborhood outlaw series :-)

Would that be to replicate a two-stroke? Or four-stroke?

Can't wait to see which after market company comes out with the modified playing card and clothes pin.

Wait till you have to replace the battery. You'll be wanting that "expensive" 4 stroke back.

That's really the only thing that would make me think twice. One of my former coworker has a journal about his 3 wheel electric car, and he is replacing a battery every other month to the tune of $175 each. And his wife has to come and tow him home fairly regularly. That's with 10+ year old technology though.

I don't get how these are "green". Replacing a gasoline engine with a coal, natural-gas or nuclear-powered one isn't green.

I have deer that live on my track. I don't know how aware the deer would be if I was riding an electric bike. Scares me to think about.

Good luck with that. Energy density of petroleum product is what they need to beat...ain't happening anytime soon.

I bet it'd make a good flashlight.

I'll be one of the first to pick up the KTM electric bike. There are so many places I could ride that thing and it would make it easier to train instead of only going once or twice a month to the moto track.

That KTM steed looks sweet. For some reason would seem less scarey without the noise..
