Electric motorcycles are an odd business proposition.
For one thing, they answer no urgent need. Motorcycles use so little fuel compared with cars that the proportionate gas savings of an electric bike are negligible for riders. And the pool of buyers has been in decline since the early 2000s; last year sales of new motorcycles in the U.S. dropped 8 percent from a year earlier, though the number of households with a motorcycle increased slightly, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council.
