Putting aside for a moment that electric racing motorcycles are about as exciting as watching astroturf grow, your electric bike articles were short-circuited to say the least.The best electric motor in the world, with a yield of 94%, but if you have taken the heat from the controller and other losses decreased, the yield drops to 80% or less. The electricity is generated in a plant which is about 40% efficient.It is time for the electricity grid, the transmission of less than 85% efficiency due to losses. Therefor, the net efficiency of an electric bicycle or car is about 25%, very similar to a gasoline engine.
So the electric bikes might be "carrying" the equivalent of 1.3 gallons of gas, but they've actually consumed the equivalent of 5 gallons to get around the Isle of Man.I could go around the Isle five times wide open on a 250cc supermoto on that much gas! It will take 20 years to develop batteries with enough energy density to make a practical electric motorcycle or a folding electric bike.
Let's use electricity to generate hydrogen and have some explosively fast bikes if we must participate in this green charade!
Electric cars (and bikes) are a joke.Consist only of fear and confusion about the global warming , a non-t there is a problem if.Fear of carbon? Get real.A basic understanding of meteorology and climate will show that man has no significant impact on the climate - the time to read it - you'll love. Carbon is not evil, our food supply grows with it.It just makes North Dakota more comfortable in the winter, Global warming is not evil.I'm just a person who has researched the carbon hype and found it to be mostly a pack of lies,I don't work for an oil company.
