Title: Electric scooters
Post by: rendog on April 20, 2012, 05:06:22 PM

Big stink in the Netherlands about the dangers of electric bikes.
Apparently they are too quiet and are startling people as they go by.
Dominos Pizza has come up with a novel solution to this dilemma.

Just saw this.  Cracker idea!

As hybrid cars become more pervasive I can imaging they will start offering "sound" options.

Of course the kids with their doof doof boxes won't need anything
