Dont know if you saw my other post, but check this out:

Other options include home made motorized bicycles (people do this with lawnmower engines, they reach speeds of ~40 mph and can be purchased on CL for around 200), or, since you're here, a motorcycle! I cant tell whether you're trying to actually do technical riding with these bikes or if its just for commuting though.

That looks pretty damn good. Just needs fork replaced to make it tolerable for city potholes and all-terrain driving.
This Cyclamatic is $550 with front fork, I wish there was something in between those two prices.
> How about comparing them to gasoline powered bicycles?
Sure! As near as I can tell, a gasoline bike kit weighs about 20lbs. That's not too much heavier than the add-on parts for a typical e-bike... the motor is usually seven or eight pounds, and another five or six for batteries. Bosch's bits, for example, are 8.8lbs for the motor and 5.3lbs for the batteries. That's 50-60 miles worth, but you there's obviously room left over to increase that battery if you really need to go 100+ miles per ride. Bikes are bikes, so the total weight you end up with will obviously depend on what sort of frame you're mounting either kit to-- but I think it's reasonable to say they're pretty close.
> Most people won't go for bleeding edge and the cost associated with it. How much does the bike you mentioned go for?
I have no idea how much it goes for-- it's a one-off custom. I guarantee it's stupid expensive, but I was comparing it to unpowered Tour de France road bikes which are also tens of thousands of dollars.
> Do you think that is practical?
A $20,000 bike of any sort? Of course not. Do I think e-bikes in general are practical? Sure. A cheap $550 e-bike weighs 47lbs, a good 13lbs less than the normal bike I had in college. That was a practical bike then, so an even lighter e-bike seems practical to me now.
Both electric or gas seem unnecessary to me, but I'm still able to push the pedals on my ride to work... I'm sure someday I'll be interested in the assistance, though.
