A couple of challenges that come to mind: First of course is the electrical draw required. The bike may or may not have sufficient excess generation capacity. The second is loss of efficiency -- converting engine HP to electrical energy and back to mechanical energy is bound to have some energy lost, which will eat into the power increase expected. The third thing that came to mind could be a plus. A mechanically driven SC depends on RPM to set boost. An electrically driven system could be mapped to vary boost based on demand. I'm sure Honda has the resources to develop such a system effectively. I'm not so sure about the average home hobbyist.</blockquote>
