For a commuter I think it will work well with the current technology, you just need a place to charge it even if its just an outlet, so drive it to work then back home, charge it overnight and youre good for tomorrow. For touring or recreational purposes its not feasible though. Dont want ot be 200 miles from home and it runs out of juice since ya just cant push it to a gas station and fill er up.

Exactly... that is my point.

But for these dirt bikes it may be cool.

Saw a strange bike last night while walking my dog. Except for the newest and antique ones, I can identify most bikes if they have the original paint job. So this bike is waiting at the red light, but I couldn't identify it. Looked like a Ducati HyperMotard. I figured I could tell from the exhaust when he accelerated at the green light. So the light changes and the bike takes off without a sound. Nothing. No exhaust noise, no chain noise, no gear whine, nothing. After it went by I saw it was a Zero.
