Cool Question Mark.

If it really reaches peak torque from a standstill, then the acceleration must be ridiculously fast. I'd definitely like to see it with more battery capacity and a realistic price...

This is the most cool and practical EV that I've heard about. Outside of being a danger to pedestrians it seems about perfect. I really like the frame concept.

Don't like the design but I do like the concept. However i wonder what speed it was going to get that 150 mile range. And max torque at 0rpm, sounds good, but it'd be tricky to ride. In a car if torque overpowers friction you do a nice burnout, on a bike, unless you set yourself up for it, you crash. In the wet, it would be interesting.

Much easier to design a traction control system for electric motors with direct drive. They should have thought of it, this bike would fly out from under you and land ontop of you if you accidentally hit the gas too hard at a light.

This is all very well , but bikers like the loud exhausts and the sheer exceleration , so with this sitting at the traffic lights and a yamaha rossi replica sitting next to you i know which one id rather be on. But for normal commuters this is an ideal bike , the only realy concern is that people walking would just step out into the road as they do and not hear you coming along. Also for the price tag of nearly $70,000 you could buy 3 or 4 other type bikes.

Nice looking and nice concept, but 68.995$? no thanks I 'ill take a Hayabusa and u guys can call me a tree killer, but then again I'm to crazy to ride a bike and I would probably crush in the 1st 2 days and die.

Chaindrive??? On a hitec ride like this, is like a Fiat gearbox on a Ferrari. (Not to mention the energy loss compared to a driveshaft construction.)

Good stuff. Also, see the prototype Vectrix Superbike; evDaytona Electric Motorcycle; Brammo electric motorcycle; Zero dirt bike.

That was just a retarded comment on a seriously revoloutionary leap forward.

You call electric motors a revolutionary leap forward???Grow up,kid.This could have been done 10 years ago if there were some investments in it.Now manufacturers do it only because of the high gas prices..Electric motors have so many disadvantages and they completely ruin the whole driving experience.Do you get it now?Good.

come to think of it , zooming past on a silently-propelled vehicle is closely akin to flying . . . at ground level . as regards the incidence of accidentally hitting pedestrians , one could always sound a horn to make one's presence known .
