I was riding my electric scooter up to school to drop off my wife's charger for her electric scooter when i was passed by an electric motorcycle.

It was a chopper style frame. The motor/gas tank area was so empty. The whole thing was so quiet. I wish I had my GoPro set up to record while i ride, i really want some pics of the thing. Now i watching videos and reading blogs of building an electric motorcycle.

I feel the same way. I put a 10 gallon tank on my motorcycle so I could go far. My preference would be something that gets at least 300 miles per charge and doesn't cost $40k.

    I mean even if it costs $30k, compare that to an ICE motorcycle that can do the same for $5k and you're gonna have a REAL hard time convincing me LOL. I do, however, have an ebike for trips <50 miles.
