These specs are pretty comparable to a Honda CBR and the Electric GPR has even gone head to head in competiton againist it on the track. While it did not win, it was close and certainly not a loser.
The nice thing about this motorcycle is that it is hard to even tell that it is an electric motorcycle, only the lack of a muffler or exhaust system really gives a hint that this bike may not be normal. So the GPR can win over those that do not want to ride something that looks like it is not stylish or out of a B-rate science fiction movie.Â
If companies like Electric Motorsport can make motorcycles that look like normal gas engine bikes, they will have a much easier time selling the motorcycles to hardcore bikers that think that looks are everything.
