Eliminate exhaust noise with Brutus 2.0 electric bike

[rod796]

Seen similar electric bikes doing laps at the Isle of Man for the past couple years, getting faster and better battery range over time.

Only a matter of time before we see a Duc electric prototype?

Brutus returns

I rather like my exhaust noise thank you. 

And at only 100 miles between charging I foresee this being just a grocery getter until the MPCharge is upped or there are charging stations at every gas station.

The guy I bought the holder for my lithium battery cells on the duc had an electrified R1.  Really awesome looking machine - very cool.

It is wet ,I cant ride cause of DD weekend, I'm bored so I just had to speak up
so humor me please.
That bike is an abomination on so many levels.
Blatantly copied trellis frame a thinly veiled attempt at gaining credability from a known brand.
make the beast with two backs ugly bobber tail.
make the beast with two backs ugly lectric mota
Looks like it is suffering from fluid retention.
Stooge in a pudding bowl helmet and vintage copy goggles oh please another thinly veiled attempt at creating interest from the baby boomer cafe racer yawn/overdone look at me crowd.
I am amazed they didn't somehow get some exhaust wrap somehow on there  
Who exactly is this marketed at ? Pimply faced tech head environmentally aware  
enginering student bad boy wanna bee's.
Oh and the name "BRUTUS" should be a real hit with the gay crowd maybe they got that wrong should of targeted the dyke's on bikes with something like the " Brutus electric strap on"
Cant wait until they make a cowboy,policeman,red Indian and construction worker model
double    
The designers have completely missed the point of the new era of electric motorcycling
FAST
LIGHT
WELL DESIGNED FUNCTION OVER UBER COOL URBAN STYLE
Total on all level
FAIL

Then there is always the refuelling aspect.

I thought this photo was funny. It appeared in AMCN a few editions back.



BTW I am also very fond of my bikes sound.

[rod796]

hahaha, that's funny... I wonder if the generator is a v-twin, with termi's

even if it's plugged into the wall at home it's charged by coal fired electricity anyway! sure, there's "green" energy but i think i read somewhere that overall it's less than 2% nationally.

same tree hugging hippie crap with a prius, didn't someone (top gear maybe?) prove that the pollution created by getting all the required parts to the assembly line from around the world was more than was created by a 70's muscle car per prius produced??

all govt. driven propaganda to keep the minorities happy....

hydrogen, that's the future for cars, already up and running successfully in cali.
