Great, now when the "wasps" are filtering past me in stop start traffic they'll sound the part too.
seriously these things are going to be meeting a lot of open car doors....

I was just wondering this
Apart from those scooters that sound like hairdryers, bikes being loud serves a purpose

Only if they are being ridden by spastics.
People who know what they are doing actually look ahead for hazards instead of blithely assuming they will get out of the way.

So what you are saying is anyone involved in a bike crash is a spastic?

No
just the ones who bring it on themselves by relying on other people for their safety margin.

I got knocked off my bike and the traffic cop said there was nothing I could have done to avoid it.
So your wide-sweeping generalisation doesn't always fit.

I know the traffic cop you're talking about and he's a liar.

I had a truck veer suddenly into me once
clipped my back wheel. It hurt a lot hitting the deck and rolling along Holloway Road

It's piss easy to predict when someone is going to pull out or open a door.
If you bother to look around.

Oh, ok then.
BTW as long as you're tempting fate can I call dibs on your pancreas?

They're getting better
But the engine sound is important. Yes, you should anticipate hazards, but people are dicks and people being able to hear you coming makes you that bit safer, no matter how careful you ride.
Also, there are very few charge points, especially out of London etc. Oh, and petrol smells soooo good!

Interesting...
The motor whine would do my crust in though..although that probably wouldn't be too much of an issue as the thing would need charging after 80 miles .Look forward to when they can improve the range on these machines . Also..Noisy Exhaust Save Lives man !!
