It’s full of electrons with high electrostatic potential. Lots of them.

And it does things, lots of things.

I decided to put my money where my mouth is. A full write up later, maybe Wednesday. Excuse the terrible picture, I need to add a tank bag or top case to hold a real camera.

Nice! I really like the idea of electric bikes, but I’ve wondered how it would be like to live with one. Keep us updated!

I like those, but I am definitely partial to the Alta SM

Ooooooooo pretty. I see one of these on my commute fairly regularly. Looking forward to your write up! Feel free to nerd out on very very ( very ) specific details.

Oooooooooooooh. Nice. I would love to get one of these, they sound like a ton of fun with that electric TORQUE.

Plus, there are are even a few charging stations at my workplace where I could park close to the entrance and charge for free. Not one single other person in an office complex of probably 6-7 thousand has an EV, so I’d always have a spot too.

There’s a catch with that charging plan, which I’ll get to. One of the downsides. But yes, TORQUE

What sort of range are you seeing on the Zero? I’ve been eyeing those for a while to replace my WR.

I’ve been tracking my projected range based on the onboard charge monitor . This is what I have so far

The first ride was all highway speed, mostly city/side road since.

That’s pretty great! 60 mile commute is more than enough for me usually. Plus knowing it can hit highway speeds is good too. My WR is geared too short to go on the highway unfortunately. Side note: is that a Shoei helmet?
