KTM's Electric Scooter Concept

I don't think electric motorcycles are ready for prime time. Who wants to get stranded on the way to your favorite riding roads? Plus battery packs are still too heavy for any kind of real performance. If you want to save gas, you can get a 250 supermoto or the Ninja 300 for a fraction of the cost of an electric motorcycle. But…electric Scooters just MIGHT make sense right now. Scooters are absurdly light, so adding a little weight wouldn't hurt. Scooters are also for local riding around town, so range isn't as much of an issue. Plus, if it looks anything like this KTM Concept, you just might have a new customer… But what do you think?
