Euro 5 motorcycle emission requirements
« on: August 17, 2019, 07:53:15 PM »
Here is a long article regarding the impact that Euro 5 emission regulations will have on ICE motorcycles starting next year. This is quite a long article, but the part that may interest you is the paragraph under the heading "What about hybrids", about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Whew that was wordy.  But yep at some point the electrics will take over.  Pretty much every automobile manufacturer has one EV in their lineup.  The same will be happening to motorcycles in the future I bet.
