- Good braking ( disc front atleast )
- Good handling ( low COG )
- top speed of about 90 kmph
- charging time of 4 hrs for 80 % ( 60 kms ), and 8 hours for 100 %

Not necessarily a sports bike, a chopper ( on the bullet chassis since it can take the weight also ), cruiser will do.

Bring the price around 70k-90k, with the battery lasting for 30,000 kms atleast, and you have a buyer.
Fyi

I dont believe in crap manufacturing. where qty is important. If u want quality, thers a price to it, but U will surely get quality. 90k is a gud price n since u are oka with the chopper shape, its easier to mount in more batteries = higher range. Batteries will last 3 years.(then a replacement cost of 15 to 20 k)

- Long range of riding, say atleast 300 Kms in one full charge excluding fossil fuel
Increase your budget, and its possible

Again comes down to price. Do u want cheap lead acid batteries or expensive li-ion batteries? or a compromise between the two, but with higher accuracy of discharging and charging - NiMh?

good to hear that. Dint know that the batteries would come so cheap. Btw, how much range in terms of kms do u reckon the bike will have on the batteries before they get due for replacement ( 20-30,000 kms or higher ).

The Range will decrease day by day by a certain amount. The rate would vary depending on how u charge and use it. In D mode, in my current vehicle, and with an optimized charger, It would initiall y give 50 to 60 kms today, and reduce to like 10 kms after 3-4 years on daily use. But the batteries im using are not intended for this use. (Cheap option) - the one for 15 to 20k. :P

Automotive use Li-ion / NiMh /LA are expensive
