If I had $15,000 ...


MSN ran a story about a new type of electric motorcycle. Not a hybrid but a real, practical motorcycle. And it looks totally old school.
I would get one of these bikes in place of a regular gas or an electric scooter in a heart beat. Mostly because it gives you control over how you use the power so you can actually ride it longer distances based upon the settings.

And it has kick! According to the article, you can go 40 to 50 miles on one charge and it reaches 30 mph in 3.8 seconds, depending on the setting you give it. It has a top speed of 50 mph, which won't satisfy those road eating sport bikers but would be great for a girl getting around the city. Only problem, like most motobikes it really has no place for me to put groceries.
