"Snail" bike...

Love it or hate, there's some interesting innovations:

$32,000.00 US dollars? Does that include two paper bags, one large and one small?

I don't care for this design, however I believe electric bikes are coming of age, for specific uses.

We have a local motor cross track (Anza) and the electrics have been doing quite well.
A 20 lap session, then a hot swap with a fresh battery pack, then good to go for another 20 laps.
I talked to a couple of riders and they all comment about the instant torque available on these bikes.

For street riding? Dunno.... A 120 mile range is a start, but it all depends on the time needed for a quick charge.
I suppose for a Saturday morning ride, it would be ok....or short comutes in the the city.

As battery technology matures, it will only get better. 

Has anyone ridden a electric street bike? (Not as scooter) If so, what are your impressions?
