But do they make loud wroom wroom noises? If not half of motorcyclists will not be interested.

But there is something in that to be fair, it is a lifestyle, culture and hobby. I thought the livewire looked cool but I would say its novelty, I wouod find it difficult to see them as equals.

they move pedestrians out of the way when you're driving slow. the same situation you could ask them politely or ring a bell. so really they're for folk with social anxiety.

That would be nice. People could turn them off at 2AM when there's no one else on the roads. But I'm sure they wouldn't.

Or when they're in low speed population dense areas where bicyclists are part of traffic.
