Electric powa! ;-)

If we could get companies to sell us reasonably price electric cars that weren't total garbage, and set up a really solid nuclear power system we'd be set, but unfortunately people don't want to do what makes sense, because all they care about is what is currently profitable for them. Until it is no longer profitable they won't change, and the oil industry has so many stakes in automotive companies they won't let it happen.

Electric motor isn't good at low speed, but once pass 100 Km/h. The torque is amazing.

I want to be there, it's not so easy though. :/

If I ever build an electric bike it's gonna have speakers where the exhaust pipe usually is and play dupstep to the rhythm of me kicking the asses of all the gas bikes out there :P

To the haters, I love a liter bike's sound just as much as the next guy (read: a lot), but if the noise is that non-negotiable, go get some damned headphones. This thing is vastly more efficient than any gasoline bike out there, and produces MASSIVE torque like no other. A diesel couldn't do what this thing does. Motor and controller tech is so very good and efficient that batteries only have a little way to go and they'll beat the hell out of any gas bike they see.

Put some gears in that gumby.

enormous power +enormous torque= more glue on the stickiest rubbers! Also at 550 lb. max weight & 365 ft.-lb torque is it compulsory to have drive on one wheel only? When you remember the big front wheel on 1980 TRON light bikes the designers glanced at an obvious need ,now is our near future

wow
