I'll point out what became readily apparent when I (belatedly) did my homework on motorcycle power requirements...it takes just as much power to move a motorcycle - with is small frontal area but bad aerodynamics - as it does a car at highway speeds. The motorcycle only shines on hills and acceleration, due to the lack of weight. You'll need basically as big of a battery pack as you would for a car...if you are doing highway speeds.
That's for your typical cruiser-style motorcycle, sitting upright, mind you. YMMV.
I still want to do it...though my practical side keeps interfering.
As for your Elantra...LRR tires, warm air intake, and whatever aero mods you'd be comfortable with will get you those few extra MPGs.
