I just want to ride on my motorcycle. And now I can do it without buying gasoline. Today, CNET's Michael Kanellos looks at the progress being made in building and marketing electric motorcycles in the U.S. The photo here shows him tooling around on a Zero.

Vectrix also makes electric cycles. And you can check out the photo gallery here.

Now all you need is a solar-powered generator to re-charge the batteries...or maybe a mini-nuclear plant under your desk at work.
