This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's really just situational mode of transport. If everyone ride a bike for trip shorter than 10km, if there's great public transport and bicycle infrastructure to support the biking system, and if places are build in way that's easier to have public transport to serve, then car will have the kind of freedom it promise.
Still, motorcycle does solve the issue, it's a middle ground for car and bicycle, it can go long range with less emission, it can free up a lot of space that car will take, and it also help you explore places. In Malaysia, there's almost an equal amount of car and motorcycle on the road. Sure, it does have problem with people riding like a racer and weave around due to not having enough enforcement, but I'd imagine the traffic get worst without it. And it's not like car didn't do that as well.
I'm in the market for an electric motocycle that can travel highway speeds and gave a span of at least 200 km for commuting.
Needs to be privacy friendly though. So no apps or accounts. Just a key and a simple dashboard.
Unfortunately i still haven't heard of any electric motorcycle that can travel such range. You have better option for ICE one though.
I believe zero motocycles offers some options, but they require you to use a cellphone as dashboard if I recall correctly
