US$69,000 isn't exactly chump change either.

But you'll be the greenest rider out there which means riding won't be so much of a taboo. 
I would rather see a hybrid bike than one that's all electric.

I'd imagine the environmental damage involved in manufacturing the batteries (plus getting rid of them at the end of the bike's useful life) offsets the lack of emissions.

not really the most practical choice of bikes out there. Seems to me like they should have been marketing to a broader group of people for it to really catch on.
Neat looking bike though. Despite having said that, you would not see it in my garage, even if i had the cash....

Yet another bike for the very few of us that have truckloads of cash laying around. I have to say I don't like the looks at all. What's with the camel hump? 100 Lbs of torque is about the only thing this bike has going for it.

+1 definitely like the headlight, but the rest of the bike says what one of my wife's t-shirts says .... Meh

If I buy TWO am I gonna get a deal?
Cool idea but not too practical unless you only ride a max of 75 miles out and back to your electric cord. And then you are done for the day because of the charge time.
I know, I can trailer the second one and swap them out so I can go further. Yea, that's it!
