$10k, 62.5lb-ft of tq, 225lbs and 0-top speed (60mph) in 5 seconds? I'll pass...
Why do most of the eletric bikes I have seen so far are so fugly :-\
From what I've seen so far, this is the best one yet (IMO). It's going into production now, they say in the article.
This one has a 60 mile range, they say. Probably wouldn't get 60 mile range if you rode it the way I would. 4 hours to recharge. Almost fast enough for the freeway, but not quite, from what I summized. Sounds torquey though.
They're getting better and better. I'd like to have one as a third bike.
[odd not to see a lever on the left grip in the pic above. odd seeing a gloveless rider , too.]
Is this the one that Best Buy is going to sell?

Kinda torn on this one. The engine design seemed to be the best thing going for MotoCzysz. But, he may be right in that he is putting a lot of effort into a technology on the wane.

Nice, but 115 and 429lbs isn't exactly a rocket...
