Being a 35 year motorcycle rider with over 300k miles street cred - I decided a long time ago that smaller is the key. In fact I would like to see laws that require people 1st pass a m/c qualification before ever being allowed behind the wheel of a large heavy vehicle. Why let the most inexperienced or mentally challenged people have the most dangerous equipment to the motoring public?

I don't mind small gas powered bikes. Yeah, they have "green" issues too but the VOLUME is so much less while the safety for OTHERS so much more! Anybody who drives So CA freeways sees it all the time - 20 to 30 cars/trucks with a single person in them for every one that has a passenger. If all those were replaced by bikes/motorcycles - gas or electric just think how much more room we would all would have?

Having raced motorcycles in my youth I can also say that it's much better to bounce off another bike/rider than even a small car.

electrics are good, I love 'em but I also have the jones for a GE kit someday too! Already got the Subaru 4 stroke waiting for the budget to buy a kit.
