Short piece on the BBC news site about Electric Motorbikes.
« on: November 29, 2015, 07:04:17 PM »

A very short video from Radio 5 Live.
This time focusing on the British company Saietta, though not a bike I've seen before, possibly a test rig?

Wow Justin "short piece" was being generous .  I got its quiet and ummm quick?  I didn't see quick but I was told it was so it must be :)   The BBC used to do good stories but I bet they paid that guy about 2500 pounds to film him riding a motorcycle for a few miles and no useful info.  Don't get me wrong I love that you posted it I'm interested in all the companies in the electric game but a pretty weak bit of reporting from the BBC.
Cheers
