Just saw this (http://www.evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=16460) on the local news. They say some models can go 175 mph, they charge in 2 hours and have a 75 mile range. For sale next year starting at $8k

i remember seeing a motorcycle that could go around 100km/h and have a range of about 100 km, all electric... back in the 70's or 80's i think.  maybe Peugot? only in Europe.  i do like the 2 hour charge though.

175 mph though holy crap...  the acceleration must be crazy... enough to make having a wheelie bar a necessity  :lol:

I think they said 0-60 in 4.something seconds.
