I see a lot of Benelli/Bimota influences. So that’s 124MPH, 0-62mph in 3 seconds. Why the hell not?

Definitely.

90 mile range highway, 30 minutes to charge it most of the way to full.

Ehhh... there are electric cars already that can do this level of endurance (iirc the more recent Tesla Model S has that range by default.)

I’d probably still buy the sedan over the bike at this point.

9.7kWh and 90 mile highway range? They’re full of shit, unless that highway is limited to 55mph and you stay in full tuck.

Otherwise, it’s similar to what’s already available, save for the L3 charge compatibility.

Cool idea, more interesting than most electric cars.

I take it this is twist ‘n go, I skimmed and saw no mention of transmission.

I’d take one from the Zero guys first. If you make an electric sport bike, you need to get a solid 5 laps from it at a road course. I’m not sure that bike could.

The price seems crazy low to me for such a low volume build.

Standard Build comes out to about $9200

Ohlins build comes out around $17kish

This appeals to me more...and it has ADR compliance. Ubco 2x2 from New Zealand.

Well, it is electric....one fixed gear.

I couldn’t see why a transmission couldn’t be adapted to it, as some just have to have the feel.

Twist ‘n go is actually more appealing to me, I’m not a manual elitist.

There’ve been multi speed EVs before but I think the torque is an issue. In theory you’d get better efficiency at higher speeds if you had a higher gear to use but so far it hasn’t been thought worth the effort.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > pip bip - choose Corrour 04/11/2018 at 10:31

I was at an airshow a few years ago, and the local BMW dealer had a booth up. I hopped on their latest sportbike and came to the rather sudden and surprisingly painful conclusion that I no longer have a body that is compatible with sportbikes.

Something a little more upright and in the sports touring vein? Count me in...

I was just thinking some bikers look down on the idea of an “automatic”.

These guys probably do, and they’d miss the noise too....
