The eBike corporate Jetson Motorcycles stocks the identify of the futuristic circle of relatives, The Jetsons. However, disappointingly, that’s the place the similarities forestall. I imply, their motorcycles don’t fly, make that cool “Jetson’s” sound…they don’t even hover.
So what’s the deal, you ask? Why even convey them up?
Neatly, first… you’ll get their Haze type eBike at Costco for handiest $549. Secondly… wait, when I used to be a child, the yr 2023 appeared like “the longer term”. It gave the impression up to now away. Supposedly, by way of this time we have been to have such a lot of futuristically amusing such things as video telephones (adequate, take a look at that one off the record), “slidewalks”, floating properties, robot maids/butlers, and flying vehicles… the place are our flying vehicles?!
Nope, we get eBikes. I suppose that’s cool…
