Seeing an electric motorcycle that can go over 200 mph is thrilling, but very unrealistic for the average street rider. Give us a bike that has passing power, can run in the 100 mph range, and travel 200 miles on a single charge and the customers will line up around the block to get their hands on one. I could imagine something like a Goldwing type of bike with all of its storage capacity being able to carry enough battery cells to make a long range run, but until that happens most of these projects are merely tokens for the industry to improve upon, because who wants to pay $20K+ for a vehicle that can only travel 50-100miles on a single charge and take 8 hours to re-charge. I have faith that things are on the right track, but those days may still be a ways off yet.

Here in Prague I saw a brand new electric Smart car this afternoon (VERY COOL). I am trying to find out the range and other specs on it, but they are perfect for running around any down town Metro area (to & from work, store runs, or hitting the gulf course or gym). Plus most of the newer homes here come with a built in 440volt hookup in the garage for heavy electric equipment. Perfect for quick charging setups.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
