Charlie has an Instructable on his convertion. He’s getting 70mph with a 15 mile charge out of his ‘82 Yamaha eBay special.
Like many others I decided to quit waiting for a decent electric road bike at a reasonable price, so I built one out of a spare bike I bought off eBay for about $700.

Other websites are calling this a motorcycle. It’s not really a motorcycle, it does have peddles and you must keep peddling at all times which sort of means it’s a bicycle. The website claims a range of around 37 miles. But then, can’t you just keep peddling? You know, like on a bicycle? The eROCKIT from the German company ErockIT GmbH has a silly name but it has a top speed of 50mph from it’s 13hp motor. It weighs in at around 240lbs and should be available in very limited quantities some time in 2009. The expected price of $36,000 will lessen the chances you’ll be commuting on it.

The Auto Channel, an automotive news website billed as “the largest independent automovite information resource”, has a very short post about the Vectrix and an exclusive video.
But the reality is that most gasoline-powered full-sized over-the-road two-wheelers only get about 40 or 50 miles per gallon, which isn’t even twice the MPG of the average passenger car. There is an alternative; the 100% electric Vectrix high performance scooter. It’s all the fun of a conventional bike, highway legal and you’ll never have to buy one drop of gasoline to power it.

This 280 pound $12,000 electric motorcycle will take you 45 miles on a charge and has a max speed of over 50 mph. The company claim it will be available before the end of 2008.
A special Carbon Limited addition will be hand-built and serialized and will feature an aluminum chassis, carbon fiber body panels and fenders, plus a leather seat for $14,995. According to the Enertia web site, the Limited addition will be available six months before the standard model. It’s late June as I type this so it should be ready now.

Suzuki claim that they will put their hydrogen powered concept Crosscage concept motorcycle into production. The Crosscage was debuted late last year at the Tokyo Motor Show. The bike was developed with British Intelligent Energy (the people who brought us the less pretty ENV fuel cell motorcycle) and is powered by lightweight air-cooled fuel-cell system and a high-performance secondary battery.
