Honda said very little about the electric RC-E concept and it didn't need to. Just look at it, who cares what it's powered by.
According to Honda, the RC-E is "an EV version of a super sports bike that pursues the joy of riding. A powerful and smooth ride unique to an EV model is achieved with the 250cc-class compact body."
That's it. No specs, no promises, nothing. Just a great design that makes you pray that somehow Honda can make it work. If it could, there might be a whole new generation of riders who see electric bikes as the coolest thing since their iPhones.

I think EV bikes make so much more sense (right now) than EV cars.

Man, that is a cool bike! I want one, bad...I agree, EV bike makes sense in today's market but only if the price is in line, that is, must not be too expensive in order to attract riders to buy into a new technology, for this segment. Honda, I am waiting, you build it, I'll buy it!! ;-)
