It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I want to love electric dirt bikes so bad. I really do.

But i need range. 100 miles of city driving is just nowhere near what I'd need to replace my f850gsa. I can get 300 miles of range, and carry an equivalent amount of gas to get to over 600 miles. Now i don't expect an electric to give me 600 miles... but we need to be at least around the 250-300 mark to let me feel confident enough to go off grid for a few days, and be close enough to some sort of charging infrastructure.

Just not there yet. I wait with baited breath.

I want to like electric motorcycles, but they're either more expensive than a decent car, or are obviously designed by non-biker engineers that don't understand what bikers want.

Personally i would prefer an electric bike for chill city commuting

It looks cool overall, but that seat looks Hella uncomfortable.

Looks like a KTM seat. Can confirm, terrible seats.
