Short mini Doc on an electric superbike

I love it! Light, 160hp and 120 ft lbs at the rear all day...er..charge rather. Still as a track bike it would be amazing. Love that electric whine it make too!

This is my signature
 
I wonder how sensitive the throttle is. Considering there is no clutching or shifting, that electric motor has to go through quite the range of RPM. It's a sweet looking bike tho.
 
To make the bike more engaging I really think a transmission and clutch would be a good addition, but to be sure Id actually have to ride it first.
 
Very cool. I hope that we see more of this on the roads.

That's an interesting idea. I'm sure it would be trivial for them to mimic the effect a transmission has via software. To be honest the thought I've moving to an electric bike like this is pretty exciting, but I would definitely miss shifting gears.
 
Not sure if it's the same bike I saw on Leno but he test rode one that had a transmission fitted to it.
As for throttle control, I've read that electric vehicles require software tuning to deliver the torque gradually otherwise too much torque gets delivered too quickly making the vehicle undrivable.
