Are you looking for the world’s quietest minibike or pit bike? Look no further, this 1973 Auranthetic Charger EV Minibike is it! This small and silent battery-powered bike is listed on eBay with a current (no pun intended) bid of $720 and over two days left on the auction. It can be found in Fort Washington, Maryland, but you probably don’t want to try to ride this one home.

This little battery-powered minibike weighs much more than I do, 210 pounds, with the batteries installed. The throttle isn’t what you’d expect it to be, like on a gas-powered motorcycle. This one has two speeds, the first small twist starts you out on the first, slower speed (I guess they’re both slow, really) and another twist/click and you’re in “high” gear, which is only 25-30 mph with its 1 hp motor, but that’s apparently still fast enough that this is actually street legal! Is it street safe? Probably not, but I’m not sure if any motorcycle is really street safe these days with so many distracted drivers out there. This minibike is made for what the seller says he uses it for, tooling around flea markets and at car shows, or just heading to the store a few blocks away. The seller says that it “will run nicely all weekend on a full charge, with 2 speeds, 12 volt and 24 volt.”

Even though it’s 210 pounds, you’d probably still want to lock it up on your neighborhood grocery store, coffee shop, or hardware store runs. It’ll take a couple of beefy guys to lift it into the back of a pickup, but I wouldn’t put that past anyone. This particular example seems to be listed on a couple of different sites, and one of them says that they just got it a few days ago for $300, so I’m not really sure what’s going on with it, which is scary since I’m the high bidder. Although, in talking with the seller they’re very much on the up and up. I have no clue what I would use this for, but it’s wacky enough that I want it. Does this weird little battery-powered minibike give anyone else a charge?
