Sweet. Nothing about range (before battery runs out) or price though.

From what I've seen they've got decent range but cost a lot and take too long to recharge.

Awesome to see the instant linear massive torque of 400nm released. Driving electric is an addictive feeling, I can tell you from experience.

Not exactly new. Harley has an electric bike even.

Seems pretty good to me.

We have solar panels on our office roof which can produce around ~20kw on a good day. I'm sure they'd never notice a sneaky charge .

Not for me. I travel too much and waiting around 2 hours to keep going is pretty unacceptable.
