It seems like it's a kind of one off project or proto type though.  Hope they make it to production.  Sur Ron will be releasing the Storm Bee some time this year.

It is funny about the Japanese. The seem to love developing electric motorcycle prototypes but apparently fear bringing them to market.  ::)

Yeah it seems they are waiting for when the time is right.  When the big four start going electric the ebike world is gonna change.  Honda is working on an electric dirt bike also I think, it's like a CRF450 with an electric motor.
