Jaw Leno's got some nice toys in his garage, but this ''motor''cycle is, I don't know, call me old fashioned, but it's too early to make electric production sports bikes. They talk and talk about power, torque and this and that but no one says it weights a ton and can do only a couple of miles after several hours of charging.
I do believe that one day, there will be something good, for reasonable money, but not for another 20-30 years. They can't even make affordable electric cars you'd like to have, today.
All this is like if Wright brothers made their first flight and said, let's travel over the Atlantic with passengers on their first flyable aircraft, even if 3rd, 4th, 100th made plane, still only good enough to just make an short trip around your house.

That's 245kg, right? That is not that much, but still not worth the money. The problem is still there, how to charge it up fast and easy?
The idea is ahead of the technology.

I would have it.. I just wonder how it goes round corners.. especially in wet. With traditional engine you can have a variety of engine braking depending on which gear you're in. I wonder how it works with this electric bike. Also how power delivery works when you try to exit corners fast as it gives you max bhp on the tap all the time 
It's America.. maybe the bike is only for going straight
