That's awesome... This video was popular like 4 years ago - I always crack up watching it.
Sadly, it's not an electric goped....

Husted puts the smoke back in...
Have you guys seen the Killacycle run? They are running in the sevens, using lithium cells, and over twice the voltage of you're bike. Interestingly, they have the venerable Jim Husted "putting the smoke back in" after they let it out...

I have a picture of Killacycle with Rebecca, one of the crew sitting on it as my desktop background.
