[Monster Dave]

Anyone hear about this? Appearantly it's called the Mission 1 electric motorcycle.

Not tooooo big of a fan of the design... but i do respect the inovation. I am looking forward to seeing what direction electric design takes. It is a chance to really do some inovative stuff. just think... the motor in the tesla is the size of a watermelon and puts out 150 HP... with 275 lbs of torque (and that is old tecnology these days)... just think of the aplications that can be applied to a motorcycle...

Local pub doesn`t have a electrical outlet for the recharge

their website.... isn't that an old SS? yep found the story http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/08/20/ex-tesla-employee-electric-motorcycle-prototype-gets-driven/

also, i think the eletric bike guys are getting it all wrong. this is showcase type technology. they need to be making naked bikes like the monster for these first bikes. not full fairing bikes trying to imitate GP bikes.

but at $68995 you'll get a sales tax credit and probably a EV tax credit.  man, what a deal.

Just so you know http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=18762.0 . Personally I don't think I could get used to an electric bike. It kind of misses the boat on what motorcycles are.
