I can see where an electric vehicle may have an advantage going up Pike's Peak.

The electric bikes in a lot of ways technologically what my Brit bud
would call "up to it", in my opinion. The only problem is integrating
them into competition because electric motors are basically unlimited in
comparison to gas motors in almost every category important to racing...
It's just a different animal all together. I really don't see sanctioned
racing having them on the track with the current bikes.

Note, if you do a google, a couple of the big names already have bikes
available for retail purchase. Some of them are already pretty good,
better than their gas counterparts benefiting from decades of gas
powered R+D on the frames, suspension, drive train, etc...
