No, not that GPRS.
If I knew how to ride a motorcyle, I’d buy one of these. I’ve pledged not to buy a vehicle until I can buy a real electric, but I never said anything about how many wheels it needed to have. The Electric GPR-S from Electric Motorsport is more expensive than a normal motorbike but cheaper than its EV brethren.
Its specs aren’t exactly eye-popping: 70mph top speed, 60 mile range. But! It only costs eight grand and, because the battery is the most likely part to either wear out or be improved, they’ve made it super easy to replace. And it’s pretty sexy, to boot. I’m seriously going to keep my eye on this thing and take some motorcycling classes.

Without having to shift gears riding one of these shouldn’t require much learning!
I want to see a motorcycle with a CVT transmission, that’ll be the day! No “gears” in our current sense, just push on the pedal and the engine will always stay at an efficient RPM.
Well, I’m not THAT concerned about the gears – I’m more worried about, you know, crashing and stuff.
No way. NO QUIET MOTORCYCLES! Peop,e in cars already don’t notice bikers and the last thisng you want to do is come up beside or behind them silently. Loud pipes save lives!
