    Give that bike to a truck driver, sponsor him and then we’ll set some records

    Or you could do it in 4 days on a gas-powered bike. BTDT.

    You mean, like a bicycle with a raised seat and a stomach full of refried beans?

    I’m seeing a price point on the Ultraviolette F77 of $4,600 but the bike only drives 190 miles before it needs recharging. Max speed of 94 MPH.

    Seems like the bar is set pretty low on that distance record. The Trams Am bicycle race is 4300 miles and done in 16 to 19 days

    Not terrible. I can barely squeeze 160 miles out of my 450 when just cruising along with traffic. But I can refuel and get back on the road in 5 minutes.



    I'm just not seeing the excitement factor with electric motorcycles. Too quiet. I hate riding straight piped/loud bikes but there'd be something missing from the experience if there wasn't some fuel burning and making a bit of noise at least.
