Just wanted to share this special electric vehicle development with you, an electric motorcycle which was designed as such from the ground up, resulting in a superlight bike which goes a lot fastet, but also can do so with less power (and with that, lighter components, etc).
A really nice story, comparing this bike with a few others, go check it out.

Every electric racing motorcycle we’ve seen so far has suffered from one major problem: Physics.
They’re all perfectly capable of transforming electrons into motive power. And some, like Chip Yates’ 190.6-mph beast, are blindingly quick. But in their pursuit of powertrain innovation, the people building these machines have overlooked, if not forgotten, what’s made internal-combustion-engine motorcycles so successful: Less weight equals more performance.
