Title says it all really, Maeving have just announced their RM1S, an electric motorbike that can get up to 70mph and up to 80mi range.

They're £7.5k, compared to the £5k of the RM1, which was limited to 45mph.
It's a really curious proposition. If they were a bit cheaper and I would use it more than just occasionally popping out in the summer, or if I lived in a city, I'd genuinely be tempted. For me, though, the noise and smell of a bike is "part" of motorcycling, so I definitely get that a lot of people won't like them.
They do look rather stylish though!
What do you all think?
