Electric motorcycles and scooters are rising in popularity because of higher gasoline prices. Battery technology is gradually improving making this form of transportation more practical.
Advantages of electric over gasoline power:
1. The fuel costs for electric power are approximately 10% the cost of gasoline power.
2. Nearly silent.
3. Zero direct emissions.
4. Can ride indoors.
5. No trips needed to a petrol station. Plug in and recharge at home.
6. Lower maintenance costs and fewer maintenance activities. For example, no need to change oil.
Disadvantages:
1. Up front costs are higher than comparative gasoline powered motorcycle or scooter.
2. Shorter range before refueling.
3. Longer "fill up" or recharge time.
4. Comparatively lower maximum speed. In other words lower speeds at similar price points.
5. Few electric power outlets are conveniently located near streets or driveways.
