Tank Bag

I've ridden a Zero S. It was a strange experience for someone used to ice motors and characteristics. Dealer pulled it out the front door of the shop, turned a key and said " There, it's running" I couldn't hear anything and I said " what's running?" Lol. He explained how to go and stop, and I climbed on and took off. WHIIIRRRRRRRRRR. First stop sign I come up to I hit the brakes and " dang, it stalled" or so I thought, because it seemed like it had just quit. When an electric isnt moving there are no physical sensations, no vibrations, no noise, even the WHIIIIRRRRRR is gone. There is nothing. It's just there. LIke sitting on your CB in the garage. Weird. Other than that it runs, handles and stops like a regular motorcycle.

Still I think a scooter would be the perfect application for an electric motor.

Let's hope Honda/Yamaha comes out with something really cool, reliable and practical. Around here, cheap low-budget, tacky, offshore electric scooters are everywhere, on the sidewalk, on the road, slowing down road traffic, traumatizing sidewalk pedestrians, seniors ... annoying. These ones are too small to license (not sure why), but too powerful for sidewalks.
