Back in December 2016, New York's Vanguard Motorcycles revealed its first creation: a monstrous 1,917cc v-twin roadster seemingly hewn out of solid aluminum by a pair of Confederate alumni.
The Vanguard Roadster was brutal and blinged-out, tightly packaged and massively over-engineered. It had as much aggressively American presence as a monster truck with a stars 'n' stripes paint job. But, as several of readers were quick to point out, there are a ton of Americans who no longer feel like giant gas-guzzling noise machines are how their country should be represented. There's a growing segment (and I'm goings to assume it's mainly on the coasts) that are much prouder of Tesla, Alta and Zero than they are of Shelby or Harley-Davidson.
They see a gleaming future where America takes a commanding lead in high-performance electrics, and they'd like to put the dirty days of petroleum behind them as quickly as possible. Well, it seems Vanguard can see which way the wind's blowing. Exodyne electric motorcycle fuses battery power with home-made engineering.

Electric scooter channels the spirit of the penny farthing.

Luke Workman interview: Petrolheads are missing the tarmac-tearing potential of electric vehicles. Grab life by the danglies and extract maximum joy from every minute: it's an awesome philosophy that we'd all like to live by, but there are some people that just seem born to do it.
Luke Workman is one of 'em. Born into a family of hot rod street racers, Workman hustled his way through college dreaming of being a Formula One engineer, then had an epiphany and ended up as one of the world's foremost lithium battery wizards. We first met Luke at Zero Motorcycles, where tales of his epic, outrageous after hours shenanigans were already legendary. So on a cold, wet night in January, Loz Blain dropped in for a long chat and some hair-raising seat time in some of Workman's crazy home-built electric hot rods. Bultaco sends its electric "moto-bikes" to the streets. Last year, Spanish motorcycle marque Bultaco rose from the ashes to present an all-new motorcyc ... er ... electric mountain bike.
The 2,000-watt/37mph (60 km/h) Brinco bike wasn't exactly the kind of "moto-bike" we imagine Bultaco fans were waiting for, but it was a pretty sweet ride in its own right. Bultaco still isn't ready to announce a legit production electric motorcycle like the Rapitan, but it's moving one step closer, bringing the Brinco off the dirt and onto the street. Brinco calls them "moto-bikes" and some might call them electric bikes, but the new Brincos are designed to meet moped regulations. Powered by a brushless rear hub motor, each of the three new Brinco models (the R-E, the C and the S) is being built in "45" and "25" specs, both designed to meet specific regulations within the European Union.
The 45 spec is a general moped, offering speeds up to 45 km/h (28 mph), and the 25 spec has a 25 km/h (15.5 mph) to meet the stipulations of select countries. Energica introduces the Eva electric streetfighter. Energica has followed on from its Ego superbike with the introduction of a second production model – the Eva electric streetfighter.

Energica Motor Company is the production outlet of the CRP Group, an Italian company with a long tradition in racing equipment and one of Europe's pioneers in electric motorcycles.
The first model to roll out of the Modena production line was the Ego superbike, a thoroughbred Italian sport bike with impressive performance. Eva, the second model from Energica, was unveiled in prototype form last year at EICMA, as a bare naked version of the superbike. Here is a custom-built ebike made from a moped frame. Here is an electric bike made from the frame of a Puch Maxi moped. The builder is a young man named Bernd, who lives in Korneuburg (near Vienna), in the beautiful country of Austria.
Although a moped frame is an unconventional choice, this frame style allowed Bernd (endless-sphere member puchwudi) to hide the significant battery pack inside the frame. Here is the first pic in the series. This old frame was donated to Bernd by a friend of his fathers. Autos - Model M could put Tesla on two wheels.
