I’d like to do the right thing for the eco-system of this planet but I can’t afford a Tesla and wouldn’t be seen in a G-Wiz so how could I buy an electric vehicle that looks good but doesn’t brake my account?

The Electric GPR-S from Electric Motorsport is more expensive than a normal motorbike but cheaper than its EV brethren.

Ok, so it’s not gonna scare a Honda Blackbird with its 70mph top speed and 60 mile range but It only costs eight grand.

They’ve even taken into consideration that the battery is the most likely part to either wear out or be improved and ensured that it can be easily removed/replaced/updated.

Add all that with the fact that it doesn’t look like a leccy moped - count me in!

Almost a year ago a couple of clever Canadian teen-scientists built an odd electric bike which was like the cool brother of the Segway and based on the frame design of a Yamaha R6 sports bike.

Ben Gulak and Jason Morrow have been very busy Canuks since then.

Motorcycle Mojo now reports that the third incarnation of the Uno has recently made its debut at the 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto and it was sporting some custom-made wheels, a new body, and a few changes under the hood as well.

The most important update involved a trip to a robotics and gyro expert in California who helped fine tune the two gyros that the Uno uses for turning and forward and backward motion (told you it was important!).

There’s still no word as to when or if the vehicle might actually enter production but it keeps getting better - and more terrifying.
