Still in the conceptual stages since they have not developed anything more than an idea yet and contacted a few companies who might be able to help develop the technology required to make a prototype.

Solar is being pursued along with the technologies for rechargeable batteries that won't tend to explode if subjected to an impact because of all the power required to run everything.

Be interesting to watch to see how many months or more likely years it will be before they bring this to market.

Click bait can be interesting though.

The best I saw or worst I suppose depending on your viewpoint back in about 1975 was a Honda 350 setup with a hitch pulling an 18 foot boat headed South on I93 just passing the Rockingham Park exit in Salem NH. That 350 was screaming and yes it looked like the boat was pushing the bike and actually the way the rider was braced against the handle bars it looked like he was trying to give it a bit of a push too. There is a slight downhill at that location so it appeared he was trying to use it to pick up speed. Couldn't really tell if he had been up to the White Mountains and was returning home or what. He could have headed East toward Gloucester at that point, continued on to the Merrimack River or perish the thought the Mass Turnpike and points West.

I didn't hang around to find out though I was tempted to offer to hook it to my Power Wagon and get him to his destination if it wasn't too far away. A blast from the Hadley's on the Power Wagon though could have caused him to wreck and I hadn't hooked up the switch yet to activate the OEM horns so I didn't chance it.

Of course he had a Snorkel Jacket on and a Bubble Shield on his Bell Style Helmet.

The regulations on lights and reflectors have been in place for almost a century now its only local policy that needs to be better standardized about enforcement. DOT sets the rules on what color and intensity lights and reflectors may be used on a vehicle on a public roadway. It had started getting crazy and confusing in the early days so they stepped in with standards. The regulations have overall improved our safety on the road.

Yep Blue is for Police only while red is for Fire and Ambulance use while yellow is for wreckers and private use as far as the main colors go.

Also ground effects lighting is not DOT approved so in many areas they will ticket you if you turn it on while even parked on a public street never mind if your riding on it.

Never understood going through the bother and expense of installing lights that you can only legally use in a private parking area.

I can't pick an absolute favorite because its difficult.

63 Olds Dynamic 8 8 Holiday Coupe with the 394 High Performance Package was great and the Baby Blue Brick embarrassed a lot of much newer Camaro's, Trans Am's and Vette's.

68 Chrysler Imperial 4 passenger Crown Town Coupe was fun since the 440 with the ThermoQuad was really a 500 and a lot of cows gave their hide to upholster it.

69 Cutlass S Limited Edition with the High Compression Rocket 350 was great fun (had a number of the 442 features too)

70 W200 E20 Special Power Wagon was a beast with the 440, full locking 4 wheel drive, posi in the back and limited slip up front. It had a factory chopped W600 drive train so when you ordered brakes, clutch, wheel bearings etc you spec'd them as for a W600.

71 Duster Demon with the Special Edition 6 would take on a Buick Wild Cat with the 455 without overheating. It would frustrate the Buick drivers since you could drive on past them in a rally type event when they had to pull over and open the hood until their engines cooled down. They found it especially humiliating when you pulled the factory hood pins and opened the hood to reveal the 225 Slant 6 underneath it.

81 2.2 Liter Dodge Omni was faster than anything the Police had at the time and was a blast to drive.

86 Chrysler Imperial with the Shelby 2.2 TurboII under the hood was a sleeper and wonderful fun too especially when you pulled away from a Maserati or Ferrari. Not that fast off the line but once you got it over about 5 MPH watch out.

Currently I am driving either a 78 Turbo Diesel Fiat 124 Spider Convertible, 2014 Nissan Leaf Electric or riding a 2009 Sport City 250. The Leaf when you take it out of ECO Mode is insane up to 9O mph and is known to burn through a set of 60,000 mile tires in 5,000 to 10,000 miles especially if you don't drive in ECO Mode and turn off Traction Control. The basically silent instant torque is great to unleash upon the unsuspecting who are tailgating you, etc just because you are driving what looks like a small slow minivan or suv.

Which car do I wish I had kept? That's a hard one to say. It would probably be a toss up between the Cutlass and the Duster or possibly the 68 Imperial which despite the 500 cu in engine it was actually pretty good on gas since it would basically be idling down the highway at 65 mph while being so luxurious inside with all the leather, real rosewood, etc plus the handling was much better than anything anywhere close to that size made by GM or Ford/Lincoln/Mercury.

I wear a highly reflective silver riding jacket called a Silver Ignitor due to the way its mesh fabric reflects lights. Upgrading to a brighter headlight many times has the opposite effect than you are desiring and can make you less visible plus depending on the bike can generate enough heat to damage the lamp housing reducing its light output. In a halogen similar to the original you may be able to find the same bulb in a 20 or 22 watts and get away with that however the extra heat may over the long term flake the silvering off the reflector or cloud the lens on the lamp housing.

You will probably have to modify the lamp housing and go with something like an H13 hi/low LED bulb to stay within the 18/20 watts that the 150 is currently setup to support and keep the heat down however there would have to be enough room behind the lamp housing for the heat sink and fan needed by most LED bulb assemblies. Wiring would likely need to be modified to support the H13 bulb.

I would consider getting a more reflective riding jacket with CE3 armor, a more reflective white helmet and better reflectors on the front and sides of the bike or better still replace them with led accent lights or strip lights. Walmart has a good selection of them for low cost.
