Why do they always have to make the electric vehicles look so ugly!? Or maybe, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Hmm. I'd love to have a silent motorcycle - more stealth to sneak past the ignorant cagers...

There was supposed to be a hydrogen cell powered motorcycle by the British released for sale last fall. Wonder what happened to that one. It actually looked like a motorcycle.
