WOW!!!! The first electric bike I'd like to ride!!!

At $38,000 it won't be happening anytime soon though.

Here is an electric superbike. In some ways of higher performance than a gasoline powered superbike.

218 MPH on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Out accelerates a BMW1000RR by a wide margin.

The downsides, other than the obviousl deal breaker of the price?

38 mile range (one lap of the IOM TT), and an 8 hour charge time. 500 pounds.

Enjoy the article.

The dual guage clusters provide a bevy of information, if you have the time to look at it.

Very entertaining video. I can't imagine the force on your wrists as you try to haul that bike down from speed.

2.5X the torque of a GSXR100. That's going to be in the neighborhood of 250 ft/lbs. 8O . That's like a six cylinder pickup truck nowadays!

Thanks for the link, Doc.

I will watch the video later, when I have more time.
