The Jeep electric motorbike

[BonsaiNut]

Not sure if people watching the game were paying attention, but in the top ad spot in this year's Super Bowl, Bill Murray is seen riding with a groundhog on a bicycle in the snow.

Turns out this wasn't just ANY bicycle in the snow - it is the Jeep's new "electric bike" which in an oxymoron because it comes standard with a 2HP (1500 watt) motor, putting it clearly outside of the definition of an e-bike and clearly in the realm of motorbikes... and yet guess what it looks like?

Depending on its top speed, I'm not even sure WHAT it is - since it doesn't fall under regulations for motorbikes, scooters or mopeds. I'm just damn certain it isn't an e-bike.

It's not a bike by CA standards, but might be licensed as a moped since (I think) an electric vehicle which can be pedaled can be classified as a moped here. Loved the commercial and movie though.

I seen the commercial I didn't even pay attention to the bike though, oh well that's the future of mountain bikes fortunate for some not so much for others"
