Oops!
I thought this thread had died so I hadn't checked it in a while. I missed round 2. Thanks for all the positive comments. I think most of the questions are addressed on the site I put together for it: HTTP://corin.com/sensei Posted via Mobile Device |

The battery tech just isn't there yet to make it practical for me yet. If they can double the energy density, I could realisticly start commuting without needing to make special arrangements. |

Sendler, yep that would be a lot of battery to pack on a Ninja 250 frame. Biggest I've seen was 90Ah Thundersky cells (http://www.evalbum.com/1407), and that was pushing it for ground clearance (IMHO). On a bigger frame, that wouldn't be as big of a deal though - it's the cost that would start getting in the way compared to the cost of a gas bike for the same run.
Definitely what your daily ride is like comes into play whether it's possible to make a switch. My downtown office is 13 miles away on surface streets (45mph tops) so it's very doable. |

Do you park in a secure garage? Seems to me that the scavenger thieves would want to "liberate" that big ole battery for its contents.

At home, the garage is secure. At the office it's open parking, but not a high crime area. Not to mention it would be easier to steal the whole bike than get the batteries out in a parking lot - in which case a gas bike, being easier to use/sell/strip for marketable parts is a higher profile target.

Your assuming most thieves are smart enough to evaluate all that.
