Hope they work as well as the Chevy Dolt, the Fisker and the Boing Dreamliner have. Maybe the Pink Bunny will supply the batteries and all will be swell.

At least they'll be nice and easy to push off aircraft carriers when they make a few million too many and find they are surplus.

That reminds me of old photos of a gun graveyard in SE Asia:

Look at all these Thompsons:

Two questions

1. How many miles on a charge?

2. Why the heck would you have a fuel tank on an electric bike?

Probably look stupid without the tank even though it might have no purpose. Lots of things like that in life.

Not too many I'd suppose but the tank obviously be there for the emergency supply of electricity. Like the spare 2.5 gallon Jerry can of gas I to be carrin' in my car trunk on da road trips.
