I see an ad on the top right corner that asks, "Is Obama empty of excuses for high gas prices?" To whoever wrote that, it's not Obama, it's the Republican Congress, who will make sure nothing is done about it. EVs are part of the answer, but our government is very unfriendly to them. Even for those who want them, it's going to be very hard, and expensive, to do here.

No one ever hears bikes coming anyway, you only ever notice a bike once it's passed you and the exhaust is pointing at you.

Besides, when you are on a bike your own noise cuts out any sound of others.

@KadywhompasKevin I agree with you on the range but in my opinion sound isnt needed. This video is deceiving these motorcycles make more noise than is hear here. But to say that they need more sound is silly. Maybe the world just needs less noise emissions before we all go deaf.

Not a horrible looking bike, but that range really needs to increase, and some type of noise needs to be made. No doubt about that. But it's a good start.

@jrb752 for most motorists the primary notification is sight not sound, you can be passed by a street bike on the freeway and not hear it too. A headlight on is a good safety feature also and high visibility wear is advised. No different to riding a pedal cycle. Actually the worst danger is pedestrians not cars in a city. When there is no sound you are more aware of your own surroundings too and can ride more defensively as you are not drowned out by your own bike noise.
