Of course, this is nothing really for expedition. But it may be fun to use.

Look at the following videos:

Wow, that is really cool!

According to their US web site they run for about 2.5 hrs before needing to be recharged.

Didn't see a price, though

In the US they cost approx. 10.000 US$.

Very cool! I really like the fact that they're quiet....I wonder if my electric bill would increase by more than I spend on gas in a month of commuting (about $30.00)?

If the price point was, say $3-$4K....then maybe, but the technology might catch up a bit....

For $10K I think I'd just go BMW F800GS.....:coffeedrink:

I'd go for a brand spankin new KTM 250 XC-W(e) and a bunch (BUNCH!) of gas
