Can Eco-Friendly Motorcycles Be Badass?

Published by Cyril Huze May 13th, 2008

Alternative-fuel and electric 2-wheelers are proliferating, especially in our big cities Would you ride one of these new greener motorcycles? Don’t say no. One day you will. Maybe not if you belong to my generation of baby boomers. But for sure if you belong to the following X or Y generations because nothing else will be legal and/or available at your dealership. Alternative motorcycles already represent a bigger segment of individual transportation, but looking at their designs I am wondering why almost all of the new bike designs I see still look so high-tech/girlie. It cannot be only because of weight imposing a lighter and more feminine stance. The badass factor is one important element and one of the reasons why many are riding a motorcycle. I have nothing against advanced technology, but don’t you think that the designers of these greener motorcycles should also think about the cool factor? Who, among us, is going to be the 1st to build a very badass eco-friendly motorcycle? If I had the client, I would already have done it. So, who is going to?
