Gotta feel the noise

So far I’ve seen and heard nothing that would make me go out and buy an electric bike. The current crop just don’t rock my boat. The designs are awful and most appear to have been penned by an eight-year-old power ranger fan. The other issue for me with electric bikes is the noise. Half the pleasure is listening to the mechanical orchestra that accompanies every ride, I can’t imagine riding a silent bike. After five minutes on it I’d begin to suspect I’d either gone deaf or worse I was dead! It would be an alien world.
