That would be an awesome piece of equipment for our special forces if they were invading or working in a non-permissive environment like say downtown Portland Oregon where there are charging stations available readily

On the general battlefield maybe not so much a good idea

Now as a use and lose infiltration piece of equipment, jump it in ride it till it dies walk from there.... maybe

SGM Erik Marquez - The drive system looks like the one Christini uses on their bikes. It's another one of those innovative start ups that I've followed for awhile. I want one, just in case of the apocalypse. https://www.christini.com/bikes/christini-awd-military

CPT Lawrence Cable I’ve ridden the Cristini
If you are one that can’t ride A bike that is“different “to the point it distracts you from ridding The Cristini is not for you it wouldn’t be fun to ride

If you can jump on whatever bike is available enjoy and have fun finding out what it will do what it doesn’t do and how it can make you a better rider I think it’s an interesting bike

As for the hybrid one in the article on paper it’s got some real winning points if they could keep the price down so they were more alas disposable at least in special operations battlefield Gear terms that would be a big hit as well

SGM Erik Marquez - I guess the same thing can be said about a ROKON, which like riding a two wheel tractor. I'll try one the first time I get the chance, I'm usually pretty good at adapting to different bikes.
I'm curious to how they will address that whole weight verses battery size thing. Battery weight hasn't come down significantly and size still equals capacity. I might be a bit nervous riding into combat with a sizable lithium battery between my legs.
Try one of the Zero's. No noise and no shifting make them a bit weird at first. If I lived where I could commute on a motorcycle, I might be tempted to buy one.

CPT Lawrence Cable - Small cite from another StealthHawk article "So what is the SilentHawk exactly? Well, like I said earlier, it's a hybrid-electric off-roader built on Alta's Redshift platform. It combines Alta's electric motor with one of Logos' flex-fuel hybrid-electric systems to produce a flexible, capable bike that can recharge itself on the go. It weighs 350 pounds, has a range of about 170 miles, and can burn gasoline, JP-5, JP-8, Jet-A, AVGAS, and even propane in the field when not running on its electric motors."

So unlike a purely electric bike like the Uk is getting..this one is hybrid run it on a patrolulum product for the majority of the infil, switch to electric to get by that village, or the final approach to the staging area where you will dismount and hide the transport
