Not in a motorcycle. Yes in renewable energy systems. These MUST have a battery management system or will be damaged by over or undercharging. They also have a fairly high minimum operating temperature (too high to be practical in winter driven vehicles). Applications requiring cold weather operation have battery heaters. Lithium titanate has better characteristics but cost more (is/ was more cost effective if considering $/kW throughput). I am highly interested in trying one but am leaning towards waiting until this form factor is more proven. I'd probably tinker with one in a camping light before a $10k fuel injected motorcycle....
