Topic: France is set to ban the sale of any car that uses petrol or diesel fuel by 2040

Car . . but what about motorbikes, or will they even exist then ??

WTF am I thinking, I'll be 83 and living in a sun drenched Asian paradise, I don't give a fcuk

But there is a generation of nippers being born right now who will never experience what we did. Progress.

Better start work on the cooking grease conversion!  With all that butter in French cuisine, there may be another 150 years of fuel supply.

They will probably have to import all their butter after they outlaw cow emissions.

You know, it's for the children...

Note to self:  Do not move to France! [not that I planned it, but Italia might be nice...]

On the other hand.  It will be real interesting to see what "mods" the youngsters start doing to EV's.  And what kind of performance numbers and times they'll coax out of a hopped up spiral-wound rotary motor 

Not that an EV will ever be the living breathing thing an ICE vehicle is.  They can still be made into wickedly fast, high performing rides.

So long as manufacturers don't resign themselves to making stupid neutered economy EV's with anemic accelleration and absolute sh!t suspension and wheels.

My buddy was racing in a Thruxton class in AHRMA this year and they included EV bikes -- lots of modified Zero Motorcycles.

I hear that the Alta bikes are fast, too (stock).
