I daresay many more bikes may have them in the future, especially electric bikes, I'm pretty sure they can add a circuit in the control panel to handle reverse.
But what about now, would you like one?
I'm pretty sure the diehards will say never, but then they did when electric starts came out.
I find pushing back out of a confined space uphill a struggle, and what often doesn't look much when you go in, is different when you try to push out, especially if the ground is uneven or worse gravel, and you have a few bumps to get over.
Anyway just thought I'd ask.
I'd only have one if:
1. It was fairly sensibly priced.
2. It was a simple bolt on option.
3. Detected you were in neutral.
4. Didn't engage on the tyres in any way.
5. Had a friction clutch built in.
6. Had a variable speed knob.

Trying to think of the bike (might not be a bike, some small vehicle though) that had an electric motor for a reverse ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

If you're struggling to push it backward uphill out of a parking space just plan ahead and roll the bike backward into the parking space. Then you can ride out of it, plus there's no fear of it rolling forwards off the stand. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'
