Huh... you could actually use the accelerometers in your phone and the GPS speed from an app like velociraptor... from those two inputs you could get pretty close to what "gear" you would be in as well as "throttle position" (i.e. how much throttle your giving her)... hot dang, that's totally possible!Dude now I know the next greatest invention of all time… A music app that plays the sound of loud pipes when you roll on the throttle of the e-bike.

As for the original question; COST. The only variable I care about is cost. Not just purchase price, but cost of ownership, which includes reliability, battery replacement, and anticipated resale value. If it had the same performance as a gasser and similiar cost then I would go for it. Right now the premium is way too much to even consider.
I remember walking into a Wiz electronics store in NJ back in the early 90's... they had a single plasma TV for sale. It was HUGE!!! I think it was 45" across!!!!! And if memory serves me, the cost was $19,999.
I paid $349 for my 55" about 6 months ago.
True. Green makes no consideration for what it takes to manufacture the batteries for these 'clean' vehicles.Eeek price is a turnoff. If prices were similar that torque is alluring. Then there is the idea of being ‘green’ for environment but I wonder about pollution caused by making and then down the road trashing these batteries.
Hey I never said I want to sell my Beast, I could add an electric stable-mate if I fell in love with the bike. Such is life. The way family things are going, I expect I will be lucky to keep all my toys but my Beast would be the last on the list to go. I could never replace it ref mods etc. Its my smile-maker!Arizona Really!!! I have been off this site for a long time now, and not really ridden the bike much in last 2 years-Just got my plates in from DMV couldn't go in person,cause this corona thing.Fired that beast up-took it out and ripped that thing up to over a 100 a couple of times,I just have church's mod,and a different map-no Arizona,I'll keep my gas guzzling Warrior.
