SILENT electric motorcycles could be used by police to sneak up on criminals:
"A silent electric bike is to be used by police forces as a means to approach criminals undetected.
Zero Motorcycles in northern California have designed their a motorcycle that law enforcement officials can use
to get the upper hand on criminals.
And with a top speed of up to 98 miles (158 km) per hour, the police of tomorrow can chase criminals down
as well if the stealth approach fails.
Range*: Up to 151 miles (243 km);
Charging time*: Between six and 9.9 hours;
Weight*: 396 to 473 pounds: (180 to 215 kg);
Equivalent fuel economy: 408 miles to the gallon (0.58 litres per 100 km);
Cost to recharge*: $0.96 to $1.60.
Each bike is devoid of a loud and polluting combustion engine,
meaning they can creep up on people without alerting them or enter a dangerous location undetected."
