These things are of no use unless that little requirement is met. I don't ride around town at 22 mph more than I have to...and I used to commute 92 miles a day....mostly at 70 mph!Electric vehicles have been around for over 100 years, and they STILL don't work!

Nothing is impossible but until they can provide replacement fully charged batteries at every service station that sells gas, at the same price as a tank of gas, and work out a system where they can replace that new battery that you just bought today with another new one and not one that came off a bike two years old, and make the same battery fit every bike, I can't really see it ever being much more than a rich mans toy.

I wouldn't buy a bike that rides fifty miles and then needs a tow truck to get home..

Polaris buys Brammo bike business, will build own electric motorcycles

Polaris Technologies , which already makes and markets gas-powered motorcycles under the Indian and Victory brands, has announced that it has acquired the electric bike building business belonging to Brammo . The move reflects a fondness the Minnesota manufacturer seems to have for electric-vehicle enterprises, with GEM , AIXAM , Mega and Goupil Industrie having been previously added to its constellation of companies.
