Hipsters, please don't go!

Guys looks like we could be in for some competition from an unlikely source.  So please be kind to our trendier members here.  If not they could head for the door after seeing this.

26 mph with 20 mile range?  Meh.
We have nothing to worry about.

Although, it does have a cup holder!

Meh... that ain't a motorcycle, that's a bicycle with an electric motor. More power to 'em.

Just heard the price tag bit. Well, good luck to 'em.

Looks like I'll hit up the classifieds after that hits the market, buy a crashed one, or some rich kid's crash crisis and stuff a 400-4 I've got lying around in it.  Or...I could sacrifice my Stihl weedeater for some pep and weight savings?!?
