DOD's New Stealth Bike??

Not a dirt bike fan (too high; I've got short legs), but maybe we see good electric and/or hybrid scooters coming soon...

I think an electric would scare most people an amazingly fast accel, plus it's 100% silent, pretty scary. Would be perfect for military to get the hell out quickly

A silent military motorcycle is more likely to avoid ambushes. I like it.

What a great idea for those semi-desert landscapes where a jeep would announce it's arrival to anyone hiding behind the next hill. The army could adapt it to their needs, wherever it needs to go.

I wouldn't recommend it for someone used to an engines sound. We have an electric Golf cart & when I first start it , I'm always running into things because I'm listening for an eng noise. I used to run race cars & bikes , so maybe it's just me not being used to a quiet eng. Irish
