Electric motorcycles

I don't see electric cars or any other vehicles being viable as a mass-production item until everyone adopts a standard that will allow hot-swapping of battery units at any local station. If I want to travel to NY from here, I don't want to have to stop 2 hours from there and wait 8 hours for my battery to recharge. It's like the voluntary usage by most manufacturers of the micro usb connectors for charging. Before it can happen, the most reliable and cost-effective design will have to be discovered first. I have no problem with driving/riding electric as long as it will perform up to the standard of a gas-powered vehicle.
