Alternate source of power, Electric?


Brammo Enertia Plus
-95Kph+ for an average running distance of 128KM
-Approx 8 hours recharge time

Brammo Empulse:

about $12,500NZ though.. so not sure how realistic this technology would be for our target market at this stage





Volta BCN
-35 Horsepower and 70km range
-$14,000NZ 





















Even an electric Cafe Racer


Electricity definitely sounds like it is coming along as a viable alternative power source for motorbikes and in the future I can see there being a transition towards battery packs.
But at the moment I don't think the target value of under $3000 will be able to cater to this and provide an effective alternative to a petrol engine... there may be a way to incorporate, but I can see it running for 4 hours and needing 3 times that to charge up again or something.
I may be missing something completely here, keep on researching I guess.
