I currently ride my Honda Ruckus 26 miles to work every day, so I'd have to charge when I get there. I wonder how long it would take to charge, and if I could talk them into letting me do it... hmm... Also, what kind of battery technology would be anywhere near cost-effective? When the battery wears out, a replacement would almost certainly negate the savings over a current 100MPG Ruckus. Plus, they better not design it to go anything less than 40 MPH.

That's a tiny scooter or a moped. I can't imagine that would be very useful or worthwhile. The current scooters are getting 85mpg and are much more powerful. To call anything a motorcycle that has the few horsepower a 50cc engine can eek out is ridiculous. They could make electric skateboards with more power... 50cc equivalents???
