The market for battery-powered two-wheelers isn't nearly as active, but interesting new e-motorcycles do hit the streets from time to time.

Take Tarform, for example. The Brooklyn-based startup recently unveiled its first street-legal production motorcycle a sleek, retro-styled number called the Luna that seeks to combine old-school looks with modern tech and efficiency.
