Comparison of Electric VS ICE motorcycles at the Isle of Man TT

I thought this might be a good illustration of the complexities and technological hurdles that electric vehicles face in the real world. One other thing, the record lap speed for a standard bike is 131.578 set by John McGuinness, the electric record is 104.056. Finally, the ICE bikes run 6 laps....the electrics..just one.

Enjoy!
