As a long-time electric motorcycle commuter in LA, I both love seeing articles like this, and absolutely abhor reading the comments!
Advantages: 1) Short, reliable commute time, 2) no parking fees, 3) closer parking to office, 4) no gas fill-ups, 5) silent running, etc...
Disadvantages: 1) Greater chance of death/injury
Safe riding to all! ATGATT!
