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

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.
