According to the blurb, the battery has a capacity of 11.7 kWh. If as stated the motor has a max power output of 100 KW (i.e. 136 hp), the bike could run flat out for about 6 minutes [please correct my maths] assuming 100% efficiency in the battery and the motor. That would limit its usefulness somewhat.

What it needs is an onboard generator, maybe a twin cylinder petrol engine of around 1000cc...
