KTM reveals the Ion Electric Bike
« on: October 31, 2015, 08:07:23 AM »
This looks kind of cool. Uncomfortable, but cool.  8)

And I'm digging the shock wheel.  Reminds me of this old YouTube video I saw.  Maybe the shock wheel is actually gonna be a thing!

No word on specs.  The light weight form factor should have the potential of a Zero FXS but who knows what kind of electronics they would put in.  Although, if Zero really does start selling their drive train components some motivated individual could build something like this on their own.

It's an industrial design exercise, not a KTM product or even an official concept.

Being "old school" that thing looks kind of scary to me.   ::)
