I've been daydreaming a bit about this as well. I'd like something with a bit more pep than my CM400 has, but I'd really rather not get a big 'ol gasser bike. An electric with instant torque would be so much fun I think. Sadly, I'm not willing to dish out new bike prices for any bike considering theres only about 4 months a year I wish to ride, and I haven't found any on craigslist.

The only electric bike I've ridden is Ben Nelson's conversion. It didn't have a high top speed, but it was fairly torquey which made it fun.

I would love to try a Zero or the now dead Brammo bikes. I know there are a few other brands out now, but I think Zero is the big one.
