An interesting find. Motorcycles and similar sized vehicles show the limitation of batteries more than automobiles as they have less ability to absorb the weight and space requirements. While there are some +100 mile range bikes their range drops off very fast at highway speeds, bikes not being the most aerodynamic.
Personally, my turn off has been lack of locking storage and good wind protection. Both add weight and wind protection will range because of increased drag but for those of us who like to commute on two wheels having secure and dry storage for out gear and work items, think laptop, is always a concern. I am really hoping for a HD EV that can use the full range of accessories for either Softtail or Touring line with sufficient range to get to a Poker run, ride it, and return. So figure 200 mile range at near constant highway speeds. To displace big touring bikes it will have to be at highway speeds
