One hour battery life with a 90 minute charge time. I could get to work and plug it back in for the ride home.

Only problem is the cost I am sure is about 8 chinabikes.

I'm sorry, Allen, but you priced the KTM electric motorcycle too low. The projected cost is 10,000 Euros, approximately $13,350 USD. After all, it is a KTM.

Thank you for the great link, Wayne! The Zero is a very interesting electric motorcycle; I am going to start a new thread on it.
