@MudMate
I think most modern cars would be super bad in mud anyway
He wouldn’t get far
I would like that.
I agree with shoesandsocs amongst others. I do understand that many of you will miss the roaring engine, but wheels will spin, and you still need to push the pedals. I also see that there is some misunderstanding regarding how far the electric cars will run. Especially during winter. During the last year 82% of new car sale was electric in Norway, and still rising. Sorry guys! The electric vehicles will come. Most of them sold today has a range up to 500-600 km. (370 miles) Battery decrease during winter will be approximately 15-20 %. depending how hush the temperature are. The cars who are in production today are steadily increasing up towards 1000 km. (600 miles) And believe me. They do not shut down if you got them stuck.
i actually got me an electric dirtbike this summer and been driving it a lot. of course i do miss the sound and the smell of a combustion engine but the fact it is almost silent opens up many new oportunities. biggest advantage is i can now also enjoy places i would never dared to get stuck at cause there where houses or hiking paths nearby in hearing range.
also another advantage i didn't even think about is that since the engine is silent you can hear the actual sound of the tire spinning way better which makes it hot as well
here is a short clip of it so you can hear what it's like
but of course it would never fully replace my "real" bikes. i would need both worlds heh

@Kevin that true electric car or bike you can stuck without disturbing other or attract other to look what happen. no noise but vibration still the same.
yeah exactly! i been enjoying long rides and even longer stuck moments cause i knew no one nearby would hear and eventually come looking.

without these enginesounds ???
No thanks, electric will do nothing to me
i definitely couldn't live without the real engine sound either. but if you live in a high populated area it can be nice knowing you can go on multiple rounds cause no one will notice heh

Bei den elktr. Bikes hört man(n) leider nicht mehr, wie der Motor am kämpfen ist und es ist ja auch eine Frage der Batterie-Reichweite. Bei Wühlaktionen im Gelände ist der Energieverbrauch bestimmt höher und die Aktionszeit kürzner, oder?
ich war bisher meistens 2-3 stunden unterwegs. also für mich völlig ausreichend um lange spaß zu haben
@Diddi226 ohja hatte selbst erst garnicht gedacht wie geil das sein kann bis ich mich zum ersten mal mit dem festgefahren hab. bei der ersten ausfahrt hatte ich nicht mal vor bis zum abspritzen wo fest zu stecken aber das ging bei dem geräusch dann doch sehr schnell heh
@Kevin good point about being able to get stuck in an ev and no one even knowing, nice way to have some privacy whule stuck
That zzzzzzz sound of tires spinning in snow and ice is erotic because when you hear it you know you are possibly stuck
