Would there be a weight reduction? Batteries weigh as much as a block?

Fast acceleration??

Yeah ok you might get down the 1/4 mile faster but i know who would win on a 150-200mile round trip by hrs and hrs.
LOL

Maybe a hybrid would be a better idea?

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way.So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Electric cars don't really float my boat but a hybrid motor could persuade me especially if the electric motors were used as a kers type boost.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Most of the motors link straight to the oem gearbox so may keep it a bit more intresting however as mentioned a hybrid may be more fun.
