It sounds kind of fishy to me, but, I'm an old fart anyway.

Hmmmm, maybe I've been duped by Fox News...perish the thought. I guess a saving grace is that who would have believed the concept of drones 25 yrs ago; pilotless airplanes that are controlled from 2000 miles away and can launch an assortment of weapons.

Time will tell if it's for real or a joke.

Google his name. He's legit. Formerly of Buell Motorcycles. Nothing in the article is implausible, except an electric motor having an "ignition" switch.

In 1968 in Viet Nam, the seals had stealth jet skis. Totally silent and they'd run up rivers with bombs at dusk. Returned at dawn without bombs. Hmmmm!!

I was at a vintage m/c show last Sunday,and a local m/c dealer  had a Zero bike on display there. Seen him smoke the back tire at a swap meet earlier this spring.Its pretty weird not hearing a gas engine,but a humming sound when you twist the go faster  :-\ 
I feel more like I do now,than I did a while ago.

Before I gave back my Dish Network I followed the O C C build of that electric drag bike they built.  ;) If they ever get a good range-250  300 miles a charge and a full recharge while eating a meal Hour or hour and 15 mins then i'm in.  :cooldude: Remember-I've been known to take off after church and wad up 350-450 miles cause I can.  :2funny: Don't know if they will have such a thing as long as i'm still sucking wind but I can hope.  :coolsmiley: RIDE SAFE.

You'd think they could come up with an alternator so as to recharge as you travel.   :cooldude: :crazy2:

That would decrease the range, as more energy would be expended driving the alternator recharging the battery, what they need is a fuel cell to convert fuel to electrical energy silently.

The company I work for has vehicles that run on fuel cells using hydrogen, but the Obummer cut the funding for the infrastructure needed for the to be practical.
