    No, not that GPRS.

    If I knew how to ride a motorcyle, I’d buy one of these. I’ve pledged not to buy a vehicle until I can buy a real electric, but I never said anything about how many wheels it needed to have. The Electric GPR-S from Electric Motorsport is more expensive than a normal motorbike but cheaper than its EV brethren.

    Its specs aren’t exactly eye-popping: 70mph top speed, 60 mile range. But! It only costs eight grand and, because the battery is the most likely part to either wear out or be improved, they’ve made it super easy to replace. And it’s pretty sexy, to boot. I’m seriously going to keep my eye on this thing and take some motorcycling classes.
