Topic: Electric motorcycle. Is it really the future of transportation?

[Gordon]

My point is that I don't think the electric vehicle will be the future because the future must be green. I think the electric vehicle can be an alternative just because it can use natural resources more efficiently.

I think it's almost a guarantee that electric vehicles are the future.  The difference from how it's done today will be in how the energy is produced, transmitted to the vehicles, and stored.

I will disagree on this one guys seeings though coal is the major pollution problem,  and everyone charging up millions of cars won't help that at all.
Hydrogen is the way of the future, everything will eventually be run on it. We just need governments to stop propping up the ailing  Auto industry and spend that money on new technologies.

Oh, but with OHMAMMA as president it's all about clean coal.  He said so...

I agree there's a good chance we'll be using hydrogen, but I don't think we'll be burning it in internal combustion engines, at least not to the extent we currently do with gas and diesel.  We'll be using it in fuel cells to create electricity to run electric motors.

how about methane gas?
a bowl of beans and a suction device on the seat should be cheap

Yes, i agree..

Some of our rubbish tips have methane generators running on top of buried rubbish, they insert pipes into the buried rubbish and use the methane released to run the plant...

Electric vehicles are becoming more of a viable option, due to the rapid advances in the electronic motor controls, as well as battery development. The device in the pic is a micro-stepping, pulse width modulated (PWM) stepper motor driver, used to accurately position the table of a milling machine. The equivalent "high tech" circuit board from 15 years ago took up about 6 times the space.
