Not really, no. I've spent my fair share of time around hopped up Kawasaki and Suzuki 2 strokes, Ducatis, and all manner of standard engine bikes. Sound is subjective and I happen to be of the opinion that bikes just don't sound that good.

If you just flat out aren't interested in electric bike tech what-so-ever, that's one thing, but I think some of you are missing the point of this thread. This isn't about whether or not current electric bike tech is viable. This thread is about whether or not the entire idea of an electric bike is viable. No one would argue that electric bikes are viable for the masses currently, but they will get there and for some people are already there now. Once we have the battery technology for, say 500 miles on a charge, would you care then? What would it take for you to care about electric bikes?
