Tesla version of a "Bike" - Would you?

[Pjay]

We wont have a choice at some point.
Petrol will be expensive as all hell once electric takes over.
Petrol station forecourts earn next to nothing on a litre of fuel, they earn their money on what you buy in the shop. Once that trade dwindles, the Petrol price will be hiked to compensate and the tax on fuels wont drop for sure as the govt want you to swap to electric. Forecourts will close at alarming rates and people will end up buying from Amazon for £5 a Litre, as they will be the cheapest and most convenient.

Think he hit the nail on the head pretty well with this one. The only real appeal of having the a EV is having a cheap commuter you dont need to recharge multiple times in one trip. The £20k monsters just dont offer enough.

An electric commuter where I can remove the battery and charge it using 'works' electricity would be great.

For my weekend toy, then ICE all the way (with loud pipes) until the point where I can't buy petrol anymore

About now should be a really good time to develop a gadget that imitates the sound of a combustion engine, with a mode switch on the handlebars that lets you select which particular bike sound you'd like today.

A heavy duty waterproof speaker buried in the internals shoud do it.

I only went out and got a motor bike because my newly acquired electric bike wasn't fast enough, and it didn't feel safe over 30mph, so when rolling down a hill one day at over 40, made me decide I'd better get a bike built for the purpose of going faster.

I'd happily have a leccy bike. Given I love my V4 on a decent can, the sound, or lack of, will take some getting used to. The theory behind one for local commuting and hooning is fine.

Problem for me, and no doubt a lot of others, is how to charge it. Nothing at work, Can't at home (First floor flat). Once there is some sort of public infrastructure in place, sure, but outside of London, we're at least a decade away from that. Local Council can't even afford to fill potholes away from touristy bits.

Hopefully the cost will be somewhat normal by then.
