The latest entry in the electric motorcycle market is something a bit different - it's not the fastest, and it's not cheap, but it sure is pure eye-candy. The Ophiro wide-body cruiser bike emulates the style of a classic 'hog', but with a sleeker profile and futuristic touches. The Ophiro is powered by 5 lithium-ion [...]
