E-bikes, I will be surprised if I ever actually get to see one far less ride one, will they catch on (here or anywhere else) and get any real market share ?

I've heard that car manufacturers are somewhat 'obliged' to provide electric options, some manufacturers say there is no money in it and over price the electric option so that there is no customer interest and therefore no need to build them, Fiat was one IIRC. Wonder if this applies to motorcycle manufacturers also.

Site has info on rather crappy little windscreen and backpacks and flight luggage.

No info on riding time\distance duration at various speeds, battery charge time is given, should be easy to find out more but all the relevant info ought to be up front on their website.

And does it look good enough to want to have one?

Methinks the problem with ALL electric vehicles is the charging and the many various battery types available, I would certainly buy one if ALL manufacturers stuck to ONE standard battery pack allowing different power levels/run times by adding more battery packs. This would eliminate the need for charging stations, existing filling stations/ retail outlets would only have to exchange batteries when flat at a minimal cost then recharge the flat batteries for the next customer. This would eliminate the need for expensive charging stations throughout the country but can only happen if the batteries have a single standard connection/fitment.
