    The article says 95 mile range with city/hwy riding (less for full hwy use).That is not even a mornings fun unless you count the time pushing it to the next electrical outlet, and the time drinking coffee waiting for it to recharge. Then you better head home because you have things to do this afternoon. ...JD.

    I don't really think that in this case it is the "tree huggers" that are pushing the idea of electric bikes. I think it is more a situation.of a desperate manufacturer grasping at ANYTHING to.keep their sinking business afloat. They are HOPING the tree huggers will buy in to the idea. ...J.D.

    as said in a previous post i had a chat with a guy on a zero he said it had around a 150 mile range and a 60 minute fast charge for under 20 grand, it shifted but was very quiet. ok pricey but once sales increase and tech improves that should hopefully come down. https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/

    If I am going to buy an overpriced alternative, I think I would prefer THIS :
