They can duplicate the sound, but they’ll never duplicate the feel!

I never thought about the motorcycles, scooters, and e-bikes! Do electric cars not make any sound when they’re driving? I think in the US and Mexico, they make a sound at slower speeds, but maybe not at highway speeds (80+ kph)

Yes exactly! And Apple was the last holdout. Now if only we can get the electrical sockets in all regions to be the same…

The owner wanted the sound of Ferrari was the same as well as than the classic Ferrari’s sound. It was a challenge.

I have seen a few close calls where pedestrians or other riders didn’t hear the vehicle and nearly got hit. I think it would be helpful if Vietnam introduced regulations requiring electric vehicles to emit warning sounds at low speeds.

Do you remember the confusion about phone plugs from different brands? Everyone had their own design, but after a while, nowadays, the plugs are all standardized, they are all the same.
And so:”Give it time!”.
