    I took my laptop which is less than an a year old of the power for a while while watching a U tube video, lasted about 15minutes before thing went to sleep. We still don't have decent batteries for Laptops, how are they going to last 2 minutes in a glorified bicycle?

    electric bikes are very popular in china. About 1 in 2 scoots is electric over there.
    Few electric sports bikes out there now. But I see all scoots being replaced by electric before sports bikes. Hogs will always use 100 year old tech - so expect them to be electric in 2120......when all other bikers hover

    Electric bikes CAN be interesting - check out "Proud Daddy" in the Drag Bike forum.
    And look up "Killacycle" in American drag racing.

    Wouldn't like to ride it any great distance, though.
    Cool, could be a good replacement for mine when it carks it. How much are they?

    Not sure... It was just lying around. My boss imported a few and I don't know if he's decided what to sell them for.

    I agree, but they have their place.
