Okay the supermotard is reasonably priced at $5800 but peaks at 20 horsepower (they stupidly don't list torque which is an electric powered vehicles greatest bonus), tops out at 62 mph and has a range of 40 miles. It's also probably as heavy or heavier than a gas burning motard with thrice the horsepower and 5 times the range.

Yeah there's still some development left. I also really enjoy the sound of my motorcycle, the complete silent sound other than the belts moving is kind of unnerving on electrics. Maybe loud pipes don't really save that many lives but a complete silence will definitely end a few.

We saw an electric motorcycle leaving the race at Indy, drewpy, captain, trock and kat saw it also I believe.
