First one looks like a moped someone built in their garage.

My favorite job in a motorcycle club was road captain but a couple of these in the pack would make a dream come true. Instead of taking a week to scout a run,I could take 2 or 3 and say I was hunting AC outlets. (Oh please don’t throw me in the briar patch again!)

It didn’t take long for the PROMISE of electric vehicles to takes over the automotive industry…

Heap of difference between a promise taking over and an actual take over.

100 miles before you’re stranded in the middle of nowhere. Just say no.

Cake Kalk&
Cake’s Kalk& is an all-encompassing e-moto that boasts the title of the company’s first-ever road-legal platform. Aside from its award-winning design principle, futuristic styling, and off-road orientation, this interesting cycle also features improved range and speed over its predecessor, making it a valuable proposition for the urban commuter. If you’re tired of sticking to the city’s tightly-packed streets, you can utilize the Kalk& on your favorite trail, back road, or alleyway, thanks to its dirt bike-inspired layout. A capable suspension system, lightweight chassis, and slimline silhouette pair nicely with the bike’s 2.6 kWh lithium-ion battery, giving it an expansive 83-mile range and 56 mile-per-hour top speed. When you’re out of juice, the Kalk&’s quick 2.5-hour charge time ensures that you’ll be back on the road with minimal effort.

Battery Capacity: 2.6 kWh Range: 83 miles depending on use Top Speed: 56 miles-per-hour Weight: 174 lbs

Purchase: $14,000



Huh? This thing looks like a bike that some fifth grader put a small motor on for his science fair project. For FOURTEEN THOUSAND dollars?! A much better looking, real motorcycle that looks better, has farther range, sounds much better, can refuel in minutes, can be purchased for WAY less. I don;t know who would buy any of these things except maybe some rich guy as another toy. These electric bikes aren't gonna be popularized until their msrp comes way down, below a similar real motorcycle. Motorcycles already get great mileage/are cheap to drive. Electrics can't argue much savings in fuel!

FWIW the Isle of Man TT race has featured zero-emission bikes for the last few year. They zip along pretty fast and look good too. But they only go for one lap—not quite 38 miles. Pit stops would have to be pretty long to recharge the batteries.
