Default What bike would you want as an electric/hybrid?

Hi guys. I was thinking of converting a R15 / FZ 16 / Fazer to a hybrid and all electric, without compromise in performance - in electric. What would you choose? And is there anybody, who wants their bike done up as hybrid / all electric ( All electric is not all street legal . Hybrid can do ) for fun?
I have also successfully converted a scooter (spirit) to a Mild series hybrid (electric + engine). So thinking of making a Full parallel hybrid on a Dio.
You guys have some suggestions and comment, kindly pour in.

Also check me high speed electric bike here:

Hemank, I know about your capabilities & hence I would'nt mind donating you one for fun. But all I used to say & would expect is...
- Less charging time, say less than 2 hours
- Performance, as you've already mentioned
- Long range of riding, say atleast 300 Kms in one full charge excluding fossil fuel

+1 range and charging time is very important.

Just gimme this much, and i am ready to buy one -

- range of about 80-100 kms ( 80 kms at high speed riding, 100 kms with sane riding, say 50-60 kmph, but 80 kms with average speeds of 80-90 kmph )
- 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.

Hi. All this has already been achieved in my prototype : Link : EV2 pictures by stuntfreak12345 - Photobucket

But the price is kinda high. in 70 to 90 k, V can work out a simpler chassis, like u said a bullet, and rest all shud fit in. The above mentioned specs are not a problem.
