There have been several attempts at electric motorcycles. Most of them fail in the marketplace. I can see a potential for them if they are low cost. They would make good short distance commuter transportation - better than a moped for riding on higher speed roadways. Unfortunately most of them are of very limited range and speed, and are way too expensive for what they can do imo. On the plus side my wife could ride one because they have no clutch or gears. Just throttle and brake. If there was one available for a few $1000 I’d consider it for commuting. But the $20,000 or so they want, with such limited range, better off getting something more versatile for a lot less.

No one but you and me noticed the bike is an electric concept.

It is why posting thoughtful columns to FR is typically pointless.
