Josh from Classy Chassis and Cycle is down at the launch and posting videos to their Facebook page and will be having a demo for the full lineup some time this spring.
You have to remember that this is the thin edge of the wedge. Yes they are pricey, yes the range is limited-ish, yes the recharging stations are few and far between.... for now. It's like every new technology. It takes early adopters to buy the first generations to build the capitol for the company to pour into R&D and in a few years the new models make the old ones obsolete. But honestly, with the kind of performance this bike has the improvements will be in reducing cost and speeding up recharging time. With the added battery tank the bike is capable of going up to 300km. There are lots of riders out there sporty and cruiser types who don't do 300km in a day ever. Once the price drops and people's anxiety about range and recharging are calmed by charging station proliferation you'll see these things popping up everywhere. Even if the recharge time stays at 90min, attach a decent restaurant to the charging station and presto, you've just made an electric motorcycle ride destination. Take a 250km ride to the restaurant, recharge the bike while enjoying a great meal, spend some time shooting the breeze with other electric riders and then head home. 500km ride and a meal. Sounds like most of my day rides!
Also, I may be wrong, but I believe most of, if not all of the torque is available pretty much off idle. It is with most electric motors so if that's true this would be a pretty exciting bike to ride.
