E-Bikes: Where Do They Stand? 3 Electric Motorcycles to Look Forward To

The internal combustion engine (ICE) is nearing its last gasp, with many major vehicle markets setting schedules on when the fuel-consuming machine will last appear on their roads. Germany voted to end ICE's existence in their country by 2030. Meanwhile, UK announced that it will no longer sell gasoline and diesel cars beginning 2040.

Along with these initiatives, electric vehicle makers are making giant strides in bringing electric cars into the mainstream. Which begs the question, where do our beloved two-wheelers stand in the electric scheme of things? The good news is that motorcycle manufacturers are making huge improvements on their end as well. Check out three of the electric bikes to enjoy for this and the coming years.
