2015 Electric Motorcycle Buyer's Guide
« on: October 09, 2014, 08:53:49 PM »

The new electric motorcycle buyer's guide is up!  Many of you probably know much of the information, but here it is all in one place.

Obviously the biggest movement was in the Zero Motorcycles lineup, but there are a few additions now that more manufacturers appear to be a little more serious about bringing a production bike to market.

That is a nice compilation of the electric motorcycle models that are on the market or have been announced recently.  It is just too bad that most are either not in production yet, or in production at such a low volume and/or at such a high price to make them not readily available to the buying public.  And then there is the matter of the smaller (and perhaps more interesting electric motorcycle manufacturers) not really having a distribution/sales/parts/service network in place, which puts the early adopter customer at some risk should they spend a lot of money buying their product if it does not function as intended over the long run.
