Techie Tuesday: Electric Off-Road

Battery powered 

This fun eviro-friendly little beauty comes fromElectric Moto Corporation and, for speed and weight, stacks up nicely against the Honda XR250. Just think 0-30 MPH in 4.1 seconds and it will do big air in the jumps.

Since it's battery powered it's totally silent and can be used on mountain bike trails or local bike paths, where gas engines are prohibited. However, it probably is not a good commute bike as it may not be street legal in some states and the battery life is not unlimited. Other than that, it looks like hella' fun...
