    I’ve not seen an electric motorcycle that’s even slightly designed to do what I would want it to do.

    They’re either “ebikes” which are sold like bicycles, they’re about as capable as a moped aka inappropriate for footpath and highway use.

    Then you go all the way up to $20,000 electric superbikes that accelerate like a rifle bullet up to their maximum speed of 80 miles per hour, which it can sustain for about 40 minutes.

    I haven’t seen any evidence that anyone has attempted to make a bike that could do what my Ninja 250 could: Go 70 miles per hour for 300 miles before refueling. Oh, and for a purchase price of $4,000.
