Awesome bike puzzle: Blacktrail electric bike

Blacktrail electric bike

Everyone is aware that the e-bike era is upon us. E-bikes incorporate an electric motor, wich assists the rider at pedaling, or can drive the bike without any input from the legs. 
But what if you are a performance addict and you want the best of the best before anyone else? A german company, PG-Bikes, came up with a product that can satisfy you.

It's called the Blacktrail BT-01. With a carbon fiber, aerospace aluminum, titanium and magnesium construction, a 1.2 kilowatts motor that can take this thing to speeds up to 65 mph (105 kph) and travel 120 miles (200 km) on a single charge, it is the meanest bike that ever existed.

You like it right? Even Jay Leno has one. You want one? You must be nuts rich. This baby will set you back 80,000 US dollars. However, only 667 will be built. So before you make up your mind (and your immense wallet) take a look at how Bob Harrold describes this technical marvel.
