In other words, tune this bike to run in the city, max 60-90mph, and you can run several hours (perhaps even a few hundreds of miles) with it!

Personally I hate the sounds of motorcycles. Noise pollution enhanced by it's riders childish need to garner attention. If my car is loud I get a ticket, if my bike is loud, it's "cool". NOT! I welcome electricity! It's not just air pollution it helps eliminate.

[citation][nom]Anomalyx[/nom]One Japanese guy did that already, back in 2004, and made a beast of a car.Search around for "Eliica"[/citation]Thanks man, just checked it out... that thing looks SICK. Fast as hell. That was in 2004, we have made serious strides in battery technology since then. There is not one reason why this car isn't being designed. I am sure Li-Po batteries are way more affordable now then they were in 2004. Thanks for sharing.

Obviously you've never ridden one.

More than half the time I ride, some idiot tries to run me off the road. Loud pipes save lives. If I were whisper-quiet, the number of incidents would be even higher with an equally higher chance of death and injury. If you don't ride, your opinion is going to be worth less than those of an infant. Sorry, but true.

[citation][nom]mlopinto2k1[/nom]OK, let me get this straight. This bike has more 2x the amount of torque and almost the same horsepower as a hybrid car with more battery storage.. why the HELL would they not use this in cars? They could make the motor twice the size and use twice as many battery packs, put it in a car and have a f&&king BEAST. Completely, undeniably unacceptable.[/citation]

Cost.
