According to Gizmag, it looks like it.

While we still have some time to wait before affordable mass-market electric cars Electric car like the Chevy Volt hit the market, there's other options available if you want to swap the petrol station for the power point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_PowerPoint to handle your daily commuting - like this US$8000 electric motorcycle motorcycle from Electric Motorsport. The GPR-S goes between 35 and 60 miles on a full battery, while offering performance levels similar to a Honda CBR125 and a top speed of 60-70mph. Charging the GPR-S from a standard power outlet takes around 4 hours from empty (or 1.5 hours if you spend extra on a quick-charge unit), and the bike uses a mid-mounted engine and chain drive to maintain a fairly conservative and traditional motorcycle body shape, instead of going for a wheel-hub mounted engine such as that used in the Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter (full article)
Looks like the company is based in Oakland, CA. So we may have to schedule a Huddler visit.
According to the Electric Motorsport site, they are accepting orders for the first 100 production models and hope to have 300 out this year.
