So petrol and diesel will become waste products to get the stuff we still need. I am very excited about the mach 3 electric jet fighters and electric tanks the military will be using..

This may be of interest too, try not to be too critical of the riding.

That was very interesting. Good to see someone demonstrating that it could be done.

Thanks for that - would do every thing I would require

I like the concept and would have liked to try an electric bike but at 250+kg/ 550+ lbs I wouldn't be able to handle the weight even assuming I could afford £27k (ish). The future looks expensive and heavy.

As an electric car driver I know a little bit about charging on the go and I feel these guys played it very safe with their charging strategy. They could have gone deeper into the battery and charge with 10% or less remaining but in the main seemed to charge at 20% or more. They also ignored quite a few handy chargers on their route. I do get that as a group they wanted to charge at places that could handle them all at once, but I think they made that harder than it needs to be. Kudos to them for travelling through Wales though, a place known for the lack of chargers.

This bike has the range similar to an SV650 but needs a little more time to refuel, but as most bikers tend to have a break for the toilet / fag / brew / chat at fuel stops I think it might have minimal effect.

Sorry that "As an electric car driver...." bit sounds dead pretentious and wasn't meant to be. I was just trying to say I have experience.
