Video: All-electric Stealth Motorcycle Powered by a Set of Lithium-ion Batteries

I know that I've said this before, but I'm going to say it again. It used to be that if you were rocking some sort of hybrid or all-electric vehicle that it would have to look out of this world for some reason or another. That trend is quickly changing with these more environmentally-friendly options blending right in with their gasoline-guzzling counterparts. One of the best examples of this "I don't look special" trend is the Stealth motorcycle. Boasting a conventional appearance, this bike is actually all-electric, powered by a set of lithium-ion batteries.


There are no cylinders or displacement to speak of, but the developers are saying that it "has a horsepower equivalent to a 500-cc bike, and it tops out at around 50mph." Yeah, it's not crazy fast like a Hayabusa, but it's quick enough to zip you around city streets. The riding experience might be very eerie at first, though, because the Stealth motorcycle -- as its name implies -- makes nary a sound.
