Powerful electric bikes

Gizmag says a new generation of electric motorcycles may be on the way:

Electric motorcycles are in their infancy but there’s a realistic promise of electric motor performance that is more suited for the racetrack than that of internal combustion engines and infinitely better suited for the road. As the first electric bikes find their way onto racetracks and begin mixing it with two and four strokes, it appears you need three times the horsepower in a gas-powered motor to get a bike as fast as an electric bike.

Apparently these new electric bikes will not be anemic novelties (like this, this, or this), but fully capable of delivering the ride (if not the sound) associated with gas-powered sportbikes. Read the rest here.
