looks cool though two grand just for the chassis, I'm sure fully set up you be looking at over four grand... I think an o'l 4x4 dodge truck would be a better investment (here in the states)

any small motorbike or moped would probably do, but what if no fuel is available and you've used up the small amount you had stored?? your either walking, on a bicycle or using 4 legged transport.

Forget the GPS, give me a gun rack mounted there!

Convert a regular bike to a gas powered assist and add your own accessories probably for a lot less.

That will work really well in your neck of the woods Myrrph, in fact it doesn't look to tactical that you could use it to go to work back and forth. My dad had a moped in the 70's, when it was the rage to own one in the U.S. He even rode it in the winter to save on gas. Crazy guy my dad. A few times, when I didn't have money to place in the gas tank of my Chevy Nova, I had to resort to using it too. Okay, 35 miles per hour at night with a low light...was a bit nerdy, but I still have some good laughs about it. The one on your site, is pretty robust....sure would save on some fuel...does it do biofuels too?

Well hope all is well Myrrph, school started up today here, 15 hour day with coaching duties. So just get a few minutes to read some posts before heading to bed.

yup. We have butt ugly ones which cost S$1000 and up. Looking for a cheap 2nd hand one which I can just refurb with a new battery, learn how to change the batteries, and buy spares over time.

I'm fine just that I'm entering the 2nd year of my contract, got a grade change upwards but more crap to do. Last 3 weeks have been MADNESS. lol.

At least there was a 10% pay jump.

That bike looks like it would be REALLY noisy though, pretty much announcing your presence for miles.

There are some nice quiet motorcycles out there, like the Zero Electric, and of course, doesn't use gas, so other options for keeping it going. At about 13K, not too too bad of an option either.
