This is a slick invention. Also, when you visit the youtube link there are other videos on the right-hand side showing other types of motorcycles being developed. I watched one pertaining to hydrogen fuel cells and that was impressive. The eRocket is cool because you get a little bit of exercise along with a great ride.

Indeed.
And it also gives power from breaking to the battery.
No noise....

The Isle of Man TT have already had a all electric bike race in 2009;
As a lap is 39 miles long that's all they can manage on 1 charge even if they are doing 150mph...

What a great idea.
I do hope it takes off, but if it does, I will have to re-evaluate my driving habits.
I usually don't expect for a bicycle to accelerate faster than other traffic from a red light.
