Yeah, first time I hit the powerband on the sportbike I almost fell off it. I remember it very well, even though it was years ago. The power/weight ratio is staggering. > I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how they can replicate that experience inside of an _electric_ car. Your gixxer (and my poor, now deceased, ninja) could only do it because these are vehicles not much heavier than 2x the weight of the owner. Insane power/weight ratio will do that for you. But their engines, like any internal combustion engine, suck at low speed. Have you seen the dyno curve for torque? It's really low at first, and only then starts climbing, and climbing, and climbing. An electric engine gives you maximum torque at any speed. Now imagine that on your sportbike. ;) When technology is more mature, all electric engines will run circles around internal combustion, on the 0-60 track.
