...where's that guy in a Cobra kit car?? 
Hear me out guys...imagine a 200HP electrified Triumph Thunderbird that weighs less than 700 lbs., it's not too far fetched.

An upgrade option is photovoltaic molded gas tank and fenders ; )

Exactly, and burned in fuel cells, thereby producing electricity.
Hydrogen in cars, I don't believe in. There is still the problem with NOx biproduct, poluting from a hydrogen driven combustion engine.
I could probably accept driving an electric car, but when it comes to a ride, it's a no no.

Thanks Lee.
I am often checking the latest post, it's just not all that catches my attention.

Recycling is being addressed.

A lot of alternative energies are being developed e.g. solar power. I believe the individual home will be the main power source for EVs. ...battery technology is jumping leaps and bounds.

| | Posted : 16 Jun 2021 - 03:00 Post title : Re: Electrified! (Re: AZCactus) | | | Battery power has really evolved, disposal addressed means they don't know. I
don't travel far so EV it would be ok for me. Remember I am a product of the 50's, I like the sound of the exhaust. In order to build renewables at this time requires fossil fuel. Mining, transporting, creating, TV requires fossil fuel.delivering the finished product will be fossil fuel at some point. I think fossil fuel will be around for a while. If you believe in the bullshit that the world is going to end in 10 years, then what does it matter? Nuclear reactors are probably the most efficient was to go. Except for waste and everything produced will have waste, reactors are the cleanest. My home is not a candidate for solar panels and I wouldn't want them. Wind mills require fossil fuel in their mantaince and it takes 5 men to service them. Bullshit can't be the answer, we have a movement here to stop cattle from releasing methane in the atmosphere. If only we had a pipeline, and not rely on foreign hostile actors. A low carbon footprint of a pipeline until technology can do it better

| | Posted : 16 Jun 2021 - 14:29 Post title : Re: Electrified! (Re: Linkdog) | | | I think a bike without a transmission (direct drive) is a nonstarter, that's half the fun in the twisties. As for the rumbling sound of a combustion engine, maybe play an exhaust notes CD.  
Edit: I probably should ride a direct drive bike before thumbs down.
