i dont understand the point, does a 125cc scooter really put out that many emmissions? 2/6/2007 7:00:19 PM |

I think the point is to have a practical, working example. The fact that the technology can be miniaturized that much is another selling point 2/6/2007 8:20:12 PM |

I believe that scooters and motorcycles don't have any appreciable emissions control, therefore in relation to what they use, they would be significantly worse than a regular vehicle.2/6/2007 9:56:32 PM |

I'd rather have that electric powered F4i that one guy built. Was pretty slick and still accelerated pretty fast, didn't have top speed like the 600's, but just as fun.
And btw, 07 bikes have full emissions. Some 06 has full. They all have cats now, but california models had full emissions, thats why you always see them different. Even then, most modern bikes has some sort of emission control such as egr. 2/7/2007 2:59:51 PM |
