Is it a weird feeling to crack that throttle, take off fast, and not hear that sweet sounding "BRRAPPPPPP"!! :D

They cost around $10,000 but I got it for $3000 with 21 hrs.
I'll get a video for you. But just look on you tube for a Quantya

The bike rips. I can ride wheelies everywhere in total silence execpt for the chain noise.

16 horsepower, 23ft/lbs at 0rpm 200lbs sounds fun, but ill be keeping the 500
i guess for 3000 it seems like a good deal if it lets you go riding at times where you normally couldnt because of having to haul to a riding area

you might want to be careful with that battery, one that big could blow your nuts off if you smash it on a rock hard enough
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

If it lets you go riding in places where you normally couldnt because of the noise a bike makes, then its an awesome idea. Other than that.....

I love my 500, but I have a feeling bikes like this are in our future or our kids. Looks fun to me I will ride anything with wheels.

If they could make the bike have the range of a gas bike, and the fast refuelability and get the power up to par and keep the weight the same, I would be all over it. We built a 13HP electric Go-Kart back in high school, and it was retarded quick. '

But, the tech just isnt there yet for bikes, IMO.
