I keep seeing more and more of these cool machines:
2015 Energica Ego Video Review
- and immediately think of the following advantages they have :
1. Minimal engine wear since there are not many moving parts and there are no explosive impacts.
2. The power of the bike can be adjusted as per rider's choice. It is easy to reduce power in return for a better riding range, and pull out max power when needed, without any sort of mechanical modification.
3. It should be a easy to swap out engines, since electric motors are pretty compact and can be engineered to be easily serviceable.
4. For quick battery charges, I think it is easier to replace batteries from bikes since they are not extremely bulky or heavy.
5. If a standard for electric motors and batteries for automobiles are followed, you will need to buy one bike for your lifetime - since upgrades are just a swap of battery/motor if needed.
I may have an electric-motorcycle as my next one, that is as soon as they make it a bit affordable. Or maybe build one on a R1 frame. IMO, if any company comes forward with "Conversion Kits", it would be awesome.What do you guys think?
