Electric Motorcycles?

[BrianG]

With all the talk of e-bikes and e-cars, I was wondering if there were full-size production electric street bikes. Turns out there are a few:

And then, there's a site for building your own, as well as some reviews of off-the-shelf cycles: http://www.buildelectricmotorcycle.com/

I was rather surprised that most used relatively low voltages (~50-70v). Lol, some of us use voltages around that in scale vehicles!

I think it would be sweet to have a Harley using the Tesla motor. Something like 50s-100s lipo @ 20Ah should be more than adequate for very long distances and/or crazy power.

Anyway, just thought it was neat...
