Electric motorcycles are inevitable. I've seen prior incarnations of e-bike racing at MotoGP races and it's pretty exciting... though strangely quiet... and there were lots of bikes that couldn't finish seven laps at Laguna Seca due to the steep elevation change.
Unfortunately, all of the bikes for the new MotoE series were destroyed when a charger, like the one above, malfunctioned during testing at Jerez earlier this year. They are scrambling to rebuild so there will be bikes to race this season.
