you also need to look at what sort of journey it is everyday. is it highway 
driving, or stop start? regenerative braking will help you gain a small 
amount of range. also, converting a cruiser, with the hard side bags will 
give you a small amount of room for batteries. it all adds up

Damon,
 Thank you (and others) for your response!  I have
type a few thoughts below.  Also, I am reading as much
as I can, trying to learn all of this EV stuff.  I
will have an EV one way or another, just hoping to
make a EM work for me..

I am certainly concerned about weight, since MC front
forks are not really made for much weight, and under
braking this might be a problem area.  Maybe a sidecar
is in my future....


All you need
is to find an EV friendly house or business within
easy walking distance of
work that will let you plug in.

I work on the wrong side of an Air Force base.  They
like to give out tickets for parking in
"non-designated spaces."  But now that I think about
it, there are a couple of buildings that provide some
hope..

On to researching other motor options as you
mention...

Thanks again!

Aaron
