Good grief, you are splitting hairs. Ok so I incorrectly used motor versus steam generator. Fine motor is used on a moving vehicle whereas turbines are typically in a power plant. Okay.

You know what I mean. The power comes from somewhere, be it a MOTOR on the motorcycle or a nuclear, wind, hydro-driven TURBINE producing electricity that goes through a line to recharge the electric motorcycle.

Again my point, batteries are roughly 100x less power dense than is gasoline. For now it’s best to have the MOTOR on board to recharge batteries. Batteries alone are too heavy. Weight is the enemy in the motorcycle world.

Define too heavy. Is the 900# Electra Glide too heavy?
