2. Endos suck, hope your back is ok at this late date. They have electric street
bikes as well, and if they ever put the Toshiba LION packs that can recharge in 10 minutes they will have it down. On the other hand, I do like the Aprilia, Ducati and other hypermotards for the street.

4. This is how to sell EVs.
EV's can have tremendous power. Instant torque down low, where IC engines lack it. Drives me bonkers every time an EV is presented like a basket full of unripe lemons. (Yah, it's bitter. It's slow, lits dorky looking. But don't you want to do the right thing? That's why you must SUFFER.)

Screw that. Give me an EV that'll blow away gas vehicles. The Tesla's a good one. Or what's that EV superbike that's run some races against gas bikes? SwigZ?

5. Here's a video of an electric hill climb bike that was built in two days for one race..
Q: You know the bike is dangerous?

A: Yes.

This thing is far more Junkyard Wars than Aerospace..

Take a look at the vehicle they put it into to get to the race, picture 14..
