nope. people have been building electric bikes since 1895.

currently there are 2 major players in the us market brammo and zero.
the cops in monterey seem to like the zero ds's they have. (but they wont let me ride them)

lightning has a true sportbike offering http://lightningmotorcycle.com/ they did let me ride their electric r1 back in 2007.

yamaha has been dragging a couple of electric bikes around to the various tech shows.
theres a couple of other mfgs that have been promising one for 2015.

theres nothing in the cruiser market as the range/charge time issues kinda make them pointless.
