I was looking at Best Buy for electrical equipment and came across a scooter they were selling IN THE STORE and I said What where they thinking? The link is:www.bestbuy.com/site/Brammo+-+Enertia+Electric+Bike/9481615.p?id=1218224467842&skuId=9481615&st=sirius%20for%20motorcycles&cp=1&lp=1
The cost is $7000 and I think its really ridiculous! A video is included.
So I would like to have your "What Were They Thinking?" moment.

not really a scooter, but one could limit VIA the computer this bike to 35 mph which not only would increase range, but would make it legal as a moped in my state that has no electric limits on mopeds, only the 35 mph speed limit.

price is redonkulous, but what do you expect for a full electric?

They will have to get the price down on these and all electric vehicles before folks will buy into them. 8K for a smallish bike is ridiculous. That amount of money is a lot of tank fulls in a big pick up. When the price comes down, I'm getting one, Rich

I do like the idea of an electric bike. Carbon footprint and all that jazz. The price as mentioned before puts it out of my league.

I do wonder though, Being almost totally silent could that be dangerous on the road? They say loud pipes save lives so, what if you don't hear anything?? It's hard enough not being seen

Very cool bike but, for 1/2 price I would go with one of these www.californiascooterco.com/ ;D

Not really the same animal at all but, cool all the same.
