ROCKY
is there as compared to petrol bikes & cars
Answer
"Performance" has several factors. We generally think of this on the basis of an IC engine. As a result we tend to think of acceleration, handling and fuel economy. With battery electric vehicles there is also a reference to the vehicle range on a charge. While "range anxiety" is not usually a consideration in an ICE vehicle I do recall a time in the Australian outback where I would have given almost anything for a petrol station.
Generally it takes longer for electrons to flow into a battery than for gasoline to fill a gas tank. Electrons will flow into an ultracapacitor far more quickly and development of ultracapacitors that can hold sufficient charge will resolve the issue. Alternatively if they can be made cheaply enough they could be included with batteries and will extend the life of batteries and enable the vehicle to be quickly charged with energy (from ultracapacitors at "fueling" stations. Presently the best that an electric vehicle can offer is less concentration on fueling. You fuel at home. It takes seconds to start and stop a charge. The rest of the time you can be doing other things. Alternatively you must make special trips to fueling stations where someone must pay attention to the fueling process.
Batteries in an BEV (battery electric vehicle) are typically low in the vehicle. This improves handling as it lowers the center of gravity. Acceleration in electric vehicles is better than ICE vehicles due to full torque starting from 0 RPM in electric motors.1
Under present economic conditions an electric vehicle can save its owner approximately $1000 to $1400 per year in fueling costs in addition to the increase in performance.2 The vehicle except for batteries has a projected life many times that of ICE vehicles, possibly as much as 80 years as compared to the life expectancy of an ICE vehicle of about 10 years. Present batteries have a life expectancy of between 5 to 10 years and may represent 1/2 the investment in the vehicle. Ultra capacitors would have an expected life that exceeds the rest of the vehicle. There is some question about whether the electric vehicle will depreciate very rapidly with little residual value or if the addition of newer battery packs or even ultracapacitors would be like adding an addition to real estate and possibly restore or even exceed the original value of the vehicle. It may be possible that the vehicles will appreciate rather than depreciate like a very few of the classic ICE vehicles. 3

Bikes like the razor mx650?
George
I'm 16 now and I am looking for miniature dirt bikes that are preferably electric (i don't want to have to pay for gas) and are also under 300-400 dollars. I am having trouble finding anything that goes fasterthan the razor mx650 that is under $1000. I am also 6'0'' if that helps with anything because I don't want to be too big for it. Thanks a bunch!!!!
Answer
George, you have run out of options, given your height you really have only two left. Step up to something in a dirt bike that is suitable for your height and there fore will be petrol powered or to take up another sport. OK, you are only 16 years old but you have outgrown "miniature" dirt bikes and already be confident on a full sized 125cc engine rather than a look like you are caught in a time warp on an underpowered electric bike suitable for a 6 year old, or younger.
Sorry to be blunt but you are 16 years old, it's time to step up to a 16 year olds dirt bike...
