Knew it was the electric bike before i came into this thread.
A silent bike would make me a little worried since no one can hear you coming... Although when i used to ride i had a loud ass exhaust on mine and seemed like nobody could hear or see me.
As a driver I can say I almost never hear any bikes unless they are in front of me or we are in a tunnel. Cars are so silenced these days it is hard to hear all but the loudest most annoying bikes on the road. You know the guys/girls who ride bikes so loud bike people are annoyed by it.
Its a terrible, dangerous catch-22....
....I have reasonable volume pipes on my bike (non HD, maybe I shouldn't be commenting here) where I can leave my house at 6am and not necessarily wake the neighbors, but still be noticeable. I still almost got merged into twice this week. I can only imagine how bad it could be on a silent bike.
I wasnt bashing HD's about their volume. Looking back it looks like I was, sorry. The reasonable volume bit was saying that they are not the super loud after market style and that is probably part of the reason that people try to hit me. I cant imagine having a silent bike. Of course around here, many drivers (I am guilty as well on occasion) tend to be self entitled jerks.
I kind of wish there was a switch to turn that on. Residential zone, flip to stealth mode. On the open road? Open her up. Best of both worlds. Now if someone could invent that they would make $$$hundreds!
According to the website they claim it will have distinctive HD sound.
I would consider an electric bike for my commute. I have to get from one end of our small town to the other. For that I wouldn't' spend HD sized money though.
