Popular Mechanics.com did a short article and interview with video demonstration of Hybrid Technology's Stealth bike and Richard Griffith.
http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/automotive_news/4216271.html Synopsis: Ben Chertoff: Hi this is Ben Chertoff with Popular Mechanics.com . I am here with Richard Griffith who is the founder of Hybrid Technologies, is that right? And you have got a motorcycle here that looks like a regular motorcycle but it's pretty special, what's going on here? Richard Griffith: Well, its called the stealth and I think it is a pretty appropriate name. We call it the Stealth because it is an all lithium chopper. The bike is really something that we are really proud of because it really has alot of form and function as a bike but ti runs off of all electric. We looked at this as being a really suitable alternative to the Harley weekend warriors that want to be eco-warriors. Ben Chertoff Narrates with close-up: With a top speed of 55 mph the Stealth won't be breaking any speed limits, but as an all electric vehicle, it won't break the bank either. Ben back to interview: So is it on right now? Richard (bike rolls silently): We are on right now. Ben: Wow, unreal. Richard: You we were actually thinking of putting speakers on the bike to give it that "ROARRRR" sound. But, you know, what alot of people miss is the sound. So I think, we need to put an I-pod thing [he points to handlebars] to make the sound. But I tell you this thing performs beautifully. Ben: Yeah? Richard: Absolutely! [He then merges with city traffic and drives by silently] Ben recapps: So this bike right here is equivalent to about 500cc. Of course Hybrid Technologies can convert just about any bike to any size electric motor you like. The beauty is your losing the growl of the Harley and gaining the beauty of zero emission driving.
