Just no room for enough battery, nor is anyone willing to pay the weight penalty. Might be o.k. as an extremely short range city bike, but even a relatively short jaunt in the countryside with some sport bike mounted buddies is going to drain the battery long before they are done riding their bikes.
Starting to see electric dirt bikes at the local off-road parks. They do o.k. if ridden on the lower trails, pretty much in sight of the truck and trailer, like on a motocross track. I've seen way too many of them on the top of the mountain with dead and dying batteries, though. Retrieval gets to be a real problem, since they can't always coast all the way back down.
