Here's a link to a CNBC Facebook video, looking at the round the world electric motorcycle, Storm. Developed by the Dutch university, the bike is slate to go round the world in 80 days.

Bleh, hype over something that would have been impressive 3 years ago. Not only can you get better performance (range, speed, etc..) out of a modified 2016 Zero S 15.8kw, but the Zero is a production bike, this is a concept 1 off. I'm sure there are dozens of individual electric scooters/motorcycles which can go over 230 miles on a charge. Not only that, this thing doesn't sound very efficient in terms of weight, energy usage per mile, or charging time/platforms needed. They should have framed it as a cool addition to an already wide field but instead they make it sound like it's revolutionary.

Not to mention... I have it on good authority that the market is going to be revolutionized in the (hopefully near) future; Electric vehicles won't even use big batteries (there's something better in the works and I know someone trying to get a patent so I won't say more) and all of the gas powered cars will be converted to run on hydrogen fuel.
