Akira Motocycle

Here’s a video news clip about the EV-X7 electric motorcycle, which bears a striking resemblance to the bike used in the anime Akira:

Do you want one?

They should make it a little bigger, I don’t think I would be able to sit comfortable in that.

A noiseless, small bike is a b-aa-a-a-a-a-a-ad idea. The number of motorcycle fatalities will skyrocket.

That’s an old wive’s tale.

id have to agree that a noiseless bike will mean a rise in crashes. most crashes are a result of motorists not seeing the biker. add on that they cant hear them and you got a recipe for trouble. that aside, how about making it longer for a two seater? single is great for a commuter bike but if ya can take the wife or kid on it you got a lot bigger market to look at.

jaxom

add a sidecar to make it a two seater??

now for the “silence kills” problem, I drive a car and i rarely hear any motorcycle coming up behind me, I usually just spot them first to avoid them..

i guess the bike could use abit more beefing up..

id deffinitely get one of these if they do become available.. and then paint it red and ride around screaming: “AKIIIIRAAA” all day long. XD
