Something I find very interesting is a new, all electric motorcycle. The article I read was about the Mission One EV electric sports bike. The article says that the bike would have a top speed of around 150mph and a distance of about 150miles. This is very similar to my 600cc sportbike. My motorcycle has a top speed around 160mph and goes about 170miles on a single tank. With such equal performance, I think an electric motorcycle would be very practical. One of the drawbacks though is the price tag. This bike costs nearly $70,000.
There are also people that convert their gas powered motorcycles into electric motorcycles at their own houses. I have even posted some videos of some of these homemade bikes. Another great thing about the homemade bikes is that they keep the original styling of the bike they started with.
