I would like to have an e-bike one day. With bikes like this that day might not be too far away.

Aggrotech · October 25th, 2012, 01:34 PM

seems like the ultimate squid bike, you dont have to shift...just yank the throttle.

I like my brap and shifting. Also, dont think the Arai really fits leno haha.

choneofakind · October 25th, 2012, 01:41 PM

This is neat!

During the whole first half of the video, Jay is looking like he's ready to grab some leathers and head out for a ride.

Lol, his chin was so far out of the helmet, guess that is why people make fun of his chin haha.

Cool bike though. With the amount of torque electric vehicles put out people are going to have to be careful with the throttle.

CZroe · October 25th, 2012, 02:42 PM

OMG! His chin sticks out of a full-face helmet and wags when he talks! No Leno caricature ever made does this justice! I literally could not stifle my laughter.

CC Cowboy · October 25th, 2012, 02:52 PM

I'd love to have one. The sound is like a jet fighter.

Actually, these are real MOTORcycles, where as the internal combustion is an ENGINE, this has an electric MOTOR.

lgk · October 25th, 2012, 03:24 PM

nice observation Lance

CZroe · October 25th, 2012, 03:25 PM

Uh oh. It isn't letting me watch it on the YouTube page but I can still watch embedded. Looks like it's getting taken down. Edit: Hmm. And now it works. Weird.

I'm so now calling my bike an 'enginecycle'!

Jono · October 25th, 2012, 05:43 PM

I'll stick to the awesome internal combustion engine thank you very much!

...and since an engine is a type of motor....

1ER6F · November 27th, 2012, 06:46 PM

Even Leno does it! Leave's his blinker on way after the turn! @13:48 LOL! Newbie!

And as much as I love Leno's Garage, you think he would have a helmet that fits!
Half his face was sticking out under that helmet!

Sweet video though! Can't wait for the MissionR 250!

dfox · November 27th, 2012, 07:02 PM

i would love one... if a brammo were more affordable, or i won the lottery, I'd have one.

antiant · November 27th, 2012, 07:06 PM

Mission R aren't the only one's out there...

You can order these now too.

A guy at my school mad his own electric bike. I'd take a picture of it if I could, but I haven't seen it in a while. It was basically a frame, wheels, and like 10 car batteries. Oh, and bundles on bundles of cables. Looked more dangerous than efficient.

csmith12 · November 28th, 2012, 08:42 AM

The sound of these bikes is like something out of a science fiction movie. Totally cool!

StephenA · November 28th, 2012, 02:29 PM

wow, in a few years when the price comes down as technology becomes cheaper, i can totally see this in the garage.

One of those Brammo videos was a direct thematic reference to the scene in The Dark Knight with the electric Bad Pod motorbike-thing, so I doubt that's what it really sounds like.

csmith12 · November 28th, 2012, 03:09 PM

I bet it would sound close.

blah... he should have hit him. I guess sometimes you just gotta lay it down. hahahahahahahha jk.

Area P can make a pipe for this..... with speakers in the can.

Bassman · December 4th, 2012, 12:06 AM

I do love the sound of a well tuned IC motor. I like the feel and vibration of riding a motorcycle. I don't know if could ever want a full electric bike though. However, I've been competing in R/C planes and helicopters that use nitro methane, tuned pipes, etc., but I've recently converted to electric. Lots of advantages, no gunk, valves, and mechanical crap to deal with... just bat, motor and go. The future for motorcycles will be interesting.
