Many years ago I would eagerly await the weekend to go for a dirtbike ride in the State forests around Coffs Harbour with my brother and friends. Thinking back we would often discuss the future and what we would be riding when petrol became scarce and new technologies had become available.
We had decided that electric motorcycles would be the future but thought it would be odd being propelled through the forest on a quietly humming steed.
That was going on ten years ago now, I haven’t had my TT600R for going on eight years now and I don’t even live in Coffs Harbour anymore. I happened across a youtube video of an Electric motorcross bike in use (ignore the hooliganism) and looking carefully at the video I saw a website address across the bike Quantya.com. Apparently our dream of the future is a reality and you can buy electric motorcross (and road registerable) motorbikes across the world – just not in Australia.
It seems like such an excellent idea to me and I can’t wait to see what electric vehicles the world has to offer in the near future.
I’ll finish up with a promotional video for the Quantya.
