its great but for all the batteries. it weighs the same as a ZZR1100. i bet it wont go as well as one

as soon as nanocells or onboard hydrogen fission are a go maybe but until then all i honestly think we are looking at is a stylish betamax video player.

I dunno, if it can play betamax tapes too I think there a definite demographic out there who will welcome it

Yeah I think there's going to be a new section in the TT (or there was last year) for electric bikes.

As soon as they get the batter size/weight down I think these electric cars/bike are going to start kicking our petrol asses, I've heard electric motors can get a silly amount of torque.

its more that they are able to apply 100% of their available torque at any RPM so whenever you floor it your going to get all that it has to give.

electric will be good when we can generate a couple of gigajoules onboard from a 20kg fission pack.
