No offense, but it might be difficult to get further from my intended focus of discussion, than these high powered, high speed, very stylish and sporty E-motorcycles. I realize now I should have used the word "Velo" or "bicycle" in the title, since "bikes" has been appropriated so completely by the motorcycle culture. My intention was to discuss moderately powered vehicles that are being developed to meet practical transportation needs.
It's a sad fact that, barring some profound reduction in air pressure values, those of us who live on the face of the Earth must accept that the net energy we spend on moving from place to place will always be exponentially related to the velocity of that travel. Nothing makes this clearer than riding our human powered bicycles, where every change of grade and puff of wind is immediately felt.
I do find it ironic that it often seems, that those most free of any time constraints, most absent of any need to be anywhere at any particular time, the retired community, seem most certain that they require the ability to travel at 60 or 90 mph, then take half the day so doing, only to return at the end of this time, to the same place they started, while it's young creative people, like Johan Erlandsson, who are developing such radical concepts as the Velove Armadillo.

There's lots of room for varied topics here on the forum, especially here in the Campfire section where new threads, on diverse topics, show up all the time. Strange that, with as much interest as folks have in them, that a thread doesn't seem to exist about Brammo. A search for Zero yields far too many results for me to dedicate the time to search through, one of the drawbacks of branding using a word with pre-existing meaning in the time of the internet.
