Electric vehicles of all kinds fail to impress me.
Its not about the performance, its the potential for a global upsurge in nuclear power generation and a toxic mountain of worn out batteries. Not to mention the short sighted selfishness of shifting the pollution elsewhere while claiming green credentials. I wouldn't have one on principle. |

I've been looking into that. The batterys are guaranteed for 5 years an they recon they will do enough charge cycles to do around 250k so shouldn't really be a problem, obviously there will be some that break early. |

I have very fond memories of a DT125 trials bike with tons of blue stroke wafting around. I'm not so sure I would have liked it so much has it been silent!

In carbon production terms it is just moving the 'problem' elsewhere. Oh and remember the batteries are safe .... As Richard Hammond found when he trashed the Rimac electric car.

Claudio Domenicali still seems quite taken by them, if reports are accurate?

So as far as I can tell unless they are taxed, insured and meet UK construction and use criteria it's private ground only. Doesn't stop them looking a load of fun with the right skills though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REeeYtp-8qE Not ridiculous money either really: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OSET-24-0...bxJP:rk:7:pf:0
