Just an FYI, saw this on Motorweek yesterday off of the DVR. Looks like a Chinese chasis with electric internals from some company in Michigan.

Sticker shock though. Sounds like the Batmobile

Wow, that's a lot of money. Looks like you can get the rear hub for $725 delivered, and my guess is you can find it for less. Might be a fun conversion project and a whole lot less than 11 grand!

2008 Vog 260. Twin 10 Watt Cree floodlights. 15,000 miles and counting, becoming a better mechanic with each one.

I've been riding electric bicycles for the past 5 years, and I can assure you that there are cheaper hubs available. However, I cannot recommend a particular one for a motorcycle since I only rode electric bicycles with 24v systems.
