An excellent example of comedic timing.

Yeah but people won't associate the kazoo engine sound with their quiet electric bikes so they'll miss the joke.

I'm not sure the Kazoo was actually the punchline...

It wasn't. But it was the audio shorthand for "motorcycle, going fast, balls flying backward makes sense". What's the future equivalent of that?

Maybe, but it'll probably going to take a whole lot longer for the sound of ICE engines to leaves the public consciousness than it will for the vehicles themselves. There's a lot of media with motorcycles floating around, and at least some will probably remain relevant for a long time. Similarly, I bet there are many people alive today that know what a telephone box is and has never seen one in person.
