IMO, electric motorbikes don't make any sense - they're not for cities, and they're not for road-tripping because their range stinks. They're an insistence on round-peg in a square hole; they're a mechanical horse.
What we need is tiny one-person electric cars - the limit on range at highway speeds is aerodynamics, and motorbikes just aren't as aerodynamic as putting the human inside a shell.
Oh absolutely, it's asinine. But it does avoid Pokemon Red as prior art.
