Default Saw this on the parkway last night...

I was in disbelief... I didnt think people actually drove these things! Guy passed me too.. I was in the right lane taking it easy because I was running on fumes...

It sounds great and all, but I'd be afraid of getting stranded without a charger or a spare battery!

Did a little research on the thing and it turns out its made by Corbin, the same guy that does all sorts of other motorcycle work... Apparently they went bankrupt in 01 or 02 (the company that made the vehicles was spun off from the company that makes seats, etc)...

As for him passing me... I was literally on fumes... when I filled up I put in 4.6gallons.. with a 4.75gal tank I wasnt taking any chances... Getting passed by an electric car is less embarassing than pushing your bike on the shoulder of the parkway 2 miles to a gas station.
