Just a thought for those who equate electric power with milk floats and mobility scooters.

The fastest lap time round the Isle of Man TT course on an electric motorbike is I believe 94.7 mph.

And I've got a little £40 battery powered model helicopter which I'm sure would have been impossible to build at any price 25 years ago.

Electric devices are getting much better very quickly. But where will all the "clean" electricity come from? Errrrrrrrrr......
