I think it would be funnier if you had one on an EV that actually went
"Vroom Vroom Rrrrrrrr" in a human voice when you took off.
A while back, a bunch of the neighborhood kids were riding around out in
front of my place on their bicycles. I went out there with some of those
red plastic cups, a pair of scissors and some masking tape. I set them
all up with the plastic spoke-slapper, much to the annoyance of their
parents. >=)

Guess what? You dont have to sneak around quietly in
your EV anymore. Now you can add that throaty growl of
an ICE to your ride. Using the same idea as cards
flicking on the spokes, you can amplify that sound
through a muffler/ tailpipe shaped megaphone.
Advertisement reads as:
"Vroom! Vroom! Turn a regular bicycle into a MEAN
MACHINE! Tomax Turbospoke™ adds growl to any ride!
Ever put cards in the spokes of your bike as a kid?
The Turbospoke™ does one better. It uses specially
designed replaceable cards that flick in the spokes of
the bike. The sound is then channeled through the
chrome acoustic chamber to create a GROWL people will
notice. Of course, the Turbospoke™ isn't just for fun.
It's also a valuable safety accessory. Besides the
added noise, a red reflector on the end of the
cylinder gives a visual cue to drivers and pedestrians
of the presence of your child.
Set includes all this:
Acoustic exhaust cylinder
Reflector cap
Clamp
Turbospoke™ custom decals
3 replaceable Turbospoke™ cards
All necessary assembly hardware. Some light assembly
required. Ages 3 and up."
