In a post-apocalyptic world, what is your ride?

Weaponized long-range ultralight aircraft :| Google it, it doesn't even exist yet.

Day late and a dollar short.

 
For those fraidie-cats worried about distilling fuel, it's very easy. All you need is a bit of sugar, yeast and you can substitute a number of other things (sour mash) etc. Then you get a pressure cooker, some copper tubing, a bucket of cold water and you build a 'still. All you need after that is a motorcycle with a carburetor that you can re-jet. Very, very easy, and you won't be slow-ass like an electric bike, getting run-down by the "smokers".

 
Repair is moot in an apocalyptic scenario. Just get more. They’re everywhere if you know where to look. They wouldn’t even be on the radar of probably 80% of survivors.

Anyone with a moderate understanding of electricity can wire them up in series for DC needs, or use an inverter for AC needs. They’re really quite simple.
I’ll strap my little Honda genie to the rack on my SP125, right beside my still. With a jet change she can run on vodakahol. At 225lbs I might be able to carry it thru the Darien gap on my back.
 
Honestly, a HD Sportster.

There are a gazillion of them out there. Relatively the same engine with very slow and evolutional changes over the years.

Simple to work on, plenty of parts. Gets the job done.

It’s the one time when HDs actually work to the advantage for end of the world scenarios. lol.

Just don’t expect it to be a stealth machine of any sort.

You lost 99% of the population at “still” and “rejet the carburetor”, especially when theres presumably no internet anymore to just lookup how to do this stuff.

And how did electric motorcycles suddenly become “slow”?

Reality is anyone with the skills to do either of those things will have the skills to wire together some simple DC solar panels and hook the output to an inverter to make some power.

Everyone else can enjoy their gas/alcohol/mouthwash/whatever powered target-o-cycle. I’ll slip silently around on my electric motorcycle collecting supplies whilst you’re getting shot at, thanks.
 
SMH at people that are actually making serious arguments in what amounts to a joke post. If there ever is a real honest to goodness apocalypse. It will be more like The Road, and definitely not Mad Max.

For some strange reason people have a lot of spare time on their hands right now to entertain silly things like this.

....should nobody have replied just because it’s “just for fun”?

You must be a hoot at parties.
 
One of the newer small adv bikes for motorized options (so you can do the fire routes if necessary/getting away from someone) for longer distances

Otherwise i'd have to say bicycle. Sure some people do big competitions trying to go fast and what not ...but if you're not in a rush to get anywhere, 20km/h is a leisurely pace to get around within a reasonable distance. And if your area is relatively flat, you can get a single speed bike for a very very very low maintenance cost. Just replacing the cassette/crank and chain and tires mainly.
 
Nah, forget walking.

Here's another possibility:

Once I get my alcohol production up, I'll get gang of droogies together and build a fortress. We'll all have fast alcohol bikes and we'll run down anti-social personalities on slow-ass e-motorcycles that won't charge properly because of days of bad weather and crapped out lion batteries. We'll steal their bikes and toss their dead fat carcass' on the road for the coyotes. Then I'll run a generator on alcohol and charge it properly. We'll race around stealing hot women and taking control of a warlord kingdom. Then we'll take over another area, and another, and another and establish a new kingdom. Yup. The weak will die off, the strong will prevail. The new world order will take shape.

Charlize Theron was good in that one.
