This is pretty cool.

This would be nice on Light Rail trains.

In between pedal assist bikes, and EVs, we have electric motorcycles. https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/25/17047918/zero-ds-zf6-5-electric-motorcylce-ride Kind of niche at this point, the reviewer noted their silence felt pretty dangerous when no one hear you coming and could dart out.
