My first reaction to electric bikes/cars has always been, what! no internal combustions, bangs, pops or noises and no visceral thrill of a ride. Can't be doing with 'em....

But there's always being a nagging doubt that for me and my 60 mile daily commute they'd be ideal and big torque at all revs is always a giggle. Initial purchase price is always a killer mind.

I did read an article somewhere that compared the coming of electric vehicles to the arrival of the combustion engine and their effect on the horse population. You'd have thought there would have been a serious population decline, but in the US their numbers are still ~30% of their 1915 peak of 26 million.

Nowadays people use horses for leisure rather than work and although the combustion engine will be replaced by electric for 'transport' in a similar way they will still be used for leisure & fun. Just think vintage/classic machinery.

Good thinking, Andy, so long as support for ICE vehicles continues and legislation doesn't price them off the road. Whatever, at my advanced age, realistically I don't think I have anything to worry about. :thumbsup:
