Then again, you would wonder how fast and long you can go? Unfortunately it is about 60mph and 40 miles range depending on the road condition, your size and weight and takes 4 hours to charge. If you are zipping at 60mph, it will be out of juice in only 20 miles ( means 20 minutes). So, if you are not using it for urban commuting, you don't have much use for it. I must say I prefer e Rockit. At least with e Rockit as long as you pedal, it will go on...As for the green part of it, if you have this in States like Virginia, might as well own a 150cc scooter since the state burn more to create electricity; the carbon footprint would be bigger with this bike in the state than an efficient regular scooter. You might want to invest on wind mill or solar energy to power this bike.
However, it is still beginning of this kinds of bikes. There is bunch more room to improve. And I like their spirit trying out one of Isle of Man races, The inaugural TT Xtreme Grand Prix, the first no-emissions motorcycle race in the world with their own electric racing bike, which looks pretty nice. The top speed was bit over 100mph.
Listening to the motor noise, it reminded me of the day I was racing electric radio control cars...
