This is one of the coolest-looking electric motorcycles I've seen yet!
Designed and built by Chris Bell, the Brutus 2.0 is meant to be a practical and highly usable electric road bike. It's 153 volt DC motor is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox and claims a 100-mile range. I didn't see a top speed listed on the sight but the maker claims that "Brutus was designed to be a commuter with the performance to survive in today’s tough traffic and streets."
For me, the thing that initially sets this bike apart from other electrics I've seen is the robust, attractive bodywork. The Brutus reminds me of a Buell in it's profile and looks like a really fun bike to ride. It doesn't at all invoke the lightweight moped-like expectation that others do.
Check it out in more detail on the Brutus website.
