Title: Electric vs Gas Article in Cycle World by Eric Bostrom
Post by: benswing on June 08, 2014, 07:33:57 PM
Great article by Eric Bostrom in Cycle World magazine! 

The discussion about electric vs gas reminds me about the discussion about digital cameras vs film cameras.  There are obvious differences between the camera world & the motorcycle world, but I expect similar adoption patterns as price and charging times come down.

"but I expect similar adoption patterns as price and charging times come down." You are correct here, I actually think price is the big hurdle. I would bye one today at a comparative price to the ICE with no increase in range. Again, I look at it more as a  daily commuter with the range of the S surpassing my needs for that.
