Ciò che un'elettrica NON può avere.

MOTORCYCLES: Can-Am Pulse, Can-Am Origin, and Honda WN7 ROADS: Austin, Texas, and Malaga, Spain Silence isn't the absence of something, but a presence. In this third episode of *Sottocoppia*, we pause for a moment to listen to what remains when we turn off the engine and what changes when the engine, instead, is silent. We're used to calling the noise of our motorcycles "voice" or "music," but where is the line between the pleasure of sound and the annoyance of excess? Drawing on Erling Kagge's reflections and my own varied experience with electric motorcycles, I explore *the greatest advantage and, at the same time, the deepest limitation of electric propulsion*. Can a motorcycle be extraordinarily efficient and yet remain "aseptic"? Is the real problem with electric motorcycles the silence or the absence of that heartbeat that resonates with our bodies? I'll tell you my vision: a defense of silence that doesn't give up on soul-searching.
