I've been really considering buying one of these for about a month now. Anyone have any videos? I've only seen two really crappy two minute clips on youtube.

don't be one of the people to jump on the first bandwagon for it. That is generally not a good idea, especially for something you may need to rely on to last for a few years.

while the bike has a nice design to it, it does not have impressive statistics.

They've already made a few other electric bikes and I've heard good things about them. I'm not getting this as a true sportbike. I just want something fun to drive that gets better gas mileage than my Charger. I'm still on the fence though, I really want to see an actual decent video first.

Oh, also you have to keep in mind that since it's an electric vehicle all the torque is available at 0 rpms. The couple videos out there show that while it isn't a Hayabusa by any means it's still faster than a car, costs under 50 cents worth of electricity to fill up and requires almost no maintenance.

All torque at 0 rpm isn't necessarily a good thing with a motorcycle. Dude just get a 600cc bike. I get 75 mpg with mine.

Also think about who's going to repair it if anything goes wrong on the bike. I mean how many electric motorcycle mechanics do you know of?

Im sure you could find someone, an auto electrician would probably be ok.

They are not particularly complicated.

-A power source (battery)
-Solid state speed controller
-Couple fuses and switches
-An electric motor.
