However, I can see it appearing in the the next Kamen Rider series!]]>Oct 23rd 2009 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/
This industrial toy designers' wet dream is against the main principle of making good electric vehicles: it is not aerodynamic, thus it is either slow by design or burns too many batterycalories going fast. It needs a shell. Motorbike aerodynamics, as in your typical HD or street Suzuki, are horrible.

Quite a few years ago, Toyota or Honda (sorry, my memory is failing) presented a vehicle that was standing upright in the city and lying on it's back on the highway. Good driver view in the first and very good aero in the second position. They should've released the electric production model of that rather than playing kids' designer games. Yes, I'm disappointed.]]>Oct 23rd 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/
I think an electric motorcycle would be fun, but then I'm a cheap mofo who wouldn't pay $10k or whatever they're gonna charge for it. Get it closer to $2k and then we're talking.]]>Oct 23rd 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/
With two 3.5Kw brushless motors and that suspension setup I definatley want it.

Oh wait, it has batteries so it'll (probably) be limited to 30mph and 40 miles range.

Hmm ... I'll stick with hydrocarbons, a measly 110bhp and telelever.

Sigh.]]>Oct 23rd 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/]]>Oct 23rd 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/]]>Oct 23rd 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 23rd 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/yamahas-ec-f-electric-motorcycle-has-two-wheels-and-one-plug/Oct 24th 2009 6:50AM
