Here is a nice video describing the Lito Sora by the developer. I do like the electric seat height adjustment.
Lito a short documentary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDzQAv3FS7g#ws)

I had a chance today to try it !!! Last person who tried it before was Prince William in Monaco !! 8)
That was during an event of vehicule electrification in Montreal at Circuit Gille Villeneuve !
it was a very nice day!!
I also had the chance to try the Fisker, the Tesla, the Volt, the Leaf, the Ford focus, and also the LITO 50 000$ E-motorcycle in the same day !!!
That product is really impressive and i was skeptical about the CVT transmission but i can say i cnaged my mind!. THAT THING IS SO POWERFULL !!!! OMG !! ;D
The sound is nice, The handling is perfect and the adjustable seat mahe any type if ride confortable!
This is a really great product !!

It looks very nice but I wish their site had some hard numbers on it, both in specs and price. I fear it might be a "if you have to ask you can't afford it" type of machine. ;)

The Lito Sora is back in the news again. Nothing new, but if you are interested, here it is: http://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf/dx/electric-muscle-motorcycle---lito-sora.htm (http://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf/dx/electric-muscle-motorcycle---lito-sora.htm)
What I would like to know is what is the retail price? That bike sure looks expensive and it doesn't look like they cut any corners in its design.

Nice video and nice bike, but my guess is that they are not going to get rich from the number of bike sales at their selling price and with the established competition from Brammo and Zero.
-
What is their price?
-
Starting at $49000

Here is another article regarding the 2014 Lito Sora. This one is a recent review of the bike and published by Motorcycle.com. Not my cup of tea, but it is an interesting vehicle:

They need to cut 25k$,unfortunately for them. I would love to buy a local built vehicle.

Check out the review by Ultimate Motorcycling.

Interesting.
The Sora and the Energica both use lithium iron batteries, and both about 12 kWh. These packs seem very heavy, compared to (say) the 11 kWh ZF12.5 pack in the new Zero models.
Jeremy Shapson, Director of Sales for Lito, confirmed for us that it was mild overheating of the batteries and that the coming liquid cooling for the batteries will solve the problem. Look to the solution to be incorporated in production models by the end of 2014.
Seems like this review was written a while back, and they're just now publishing it. I wonder if Lito did in fact upgrade the batteries and the charger on newer production models.
It's a nice bike to be sure. But $50k just makes me shake my head.

Yep, too bad they can't make it cheaper. I would have loved to buy a local product, it's really close to here. I saw them last summer, in fact I charged at the side of one. Looks great, but, 50000$?
