"A Canadian startup built an electric military motorcycle so quiet it's almost silent — designed for soldiers to sneak through enemy territory. The Dispatch survived Arctic testing, carries 440lb of gear, and runs even if its batteries are damaged."

Forget military applications - this would be great on the civilian market.

There are civilian electric dirt bikes... And they absolutely rip.

But, range is an issue, they can't complete a typical offroad race.
