Kickass high-tech electric motorcycle, battery stores more power than Prius battery
- vaksel 18y agoYeah I think the best buy thing is valid. If they were going to sell them in dealerships the GPS would have been an option. Since it looks like it'll sell as a single package the retail store option might be right
- ajross 18y agoThis isn't such a surprise. The battery in a hybrid vehicle needs to be no larger than needed to buffer the kinetic energy of typical stop-and-go traffic. Anything larger is just dead weight that you're carrying around (and expending energy to do so) in the vain hope that a big downhill slope is in your future. I know from personal experience that my Prius needs to roll down about 800 feet vertically to fill its battery. Vehicles that need to actually power themselves exclusively (or mostly, as in a plugin hybrid) with their batteries need bigger ones for their weight, or better ones (this thing is using a Li-Ion instead of the NiMH battery in the Prius).
- DaniFong 18y agoIt's quite a nice design: light construction, good layout. Also, they're claiming to integrate riding modes and wifi into the bike somehow, which was our idea, so it must be good. :-)
