The problems with electric is the power source. It can be big, clunky, heavy, etc... Also - the Size of the motor can be a problem too. Sure - you can get a 72 Volt system or what ever - but than your power source won't last long at all. That is why for most purpoces gas will be used for transporting something or use the electric motor for the low end and the gas motor for the upper (coasting) end...
