Electricity is not more efficient than an internal combustion engine. Electricity is more efficient at the power plant. But, by the time that you transmit it to your electric motorcycle's battery pack and convert it to mechanical energy to propel the bike, you've lost. Yes, you could get electricity from solar panels, hydroelectric, or wind energy. But, unless you produce that on your own, you are relying on the grid, from which only a fraction derives from a renewable source. Best thing going is that Ben is not lugging around a huge car when all he has to carry is himself and a pizza. Come on! Electricity is not more efficient than an internal combustion engine.

If you stay tuned I'm sure you'll see more.
