Well remember, it's no longer a literbike.

If they can get the mileage up to somewhere more in the 150-200 range, I think it would sell very well. Besides, who cares if it can only do 100mph, isn't the speed limit 60-70mph in most places? I can't even remember the last time I actually went 100mph on the street anyways.

Also quite a bit of electricity is now produced with wind or water power, maybe not the majority, but a good portion for sure.

I think it's a cool concept, but they should have covered up the batteries with more plastic, so it's not so ugly.

Cool concept! Just needs a little refinement.
