Title: Now the Russian military get on the bandwagon
Post by: Richard230 on October 19, 2017, 08:45:17 PM

Looks like real Russian steel to me.  No doubt all of your local terrorists will be riding these things soon, which they will get free with their bulk purchase of AK-47 assault rifles:   http://blog.motorcycle.com/2017/10/18/motorcycle-news/kalashnikov-electric-motorcycle/

Looks interesting to me, I'd love to see more specs of it.

Most terrorists will be happy with the Chinese knockoffs.

That big cruiser from Kalashnikov is out of this world! I’d like to see it as a touring bike.

That name doesn't exactly roll off of the tongue.  ;) Also the charging cable sure looks thin.  My Zero's cable sure doesn't roll up like that.  ???

Looks like a type C plug, which is rated at 2,5A so about ~600W charging power for the onboard?
