Electric does that mean immediate torque? 

Pretty much. The challenge is to control the torque electronically so you don't just spin the wheel or loop the bike when you get on the "throttle"

How fast are they claiming that thing can go?  Electric does that mean immediate torque?  Yikes that could be really fun.  But I'd miss the beautiful smell of burning oil and gas coming out of my not so legal exhaust  Grin waytogo

They're claiming something like 150.

According to reports, in practice the electric bikes are only a few minutes off the gas bikes' pace.
