Thinking about getting one, what did y’all think? Looking at the Zeros.
FYI, Zero tried to float pay-to-unlock bullshit on their bikes just like Tesla. For that reason I would never consider one; they are not a company that can be trusted.
I fully support getting an electric motorcycle in general, though. (I also support getting a motorcycle in general.)
Pay to unlock is such bullshit. Sadly it’ll become the norm, so you’re going to have to keep jumping brands when whatever brand you use starts implementing it. Because sooner or later they will.
The more mainstream it becomes the more people will start hacking these systems.
And the more they get hacked the more they will be locked down. It’s a losing battle for the consumer.
This is why right-to-repair legislation is so important.
I don’t own an EV motorbike but I’ve been following a couple different manufacturers:
- Damon Motorcycles - Vancouver, Canada - https://damon.com/
- Evoke - Hong Kong - https://www.evokemotorcycles.com/
Motorcycles are recreational vehicles. If I ride one, it’s usually going to be for a long distance. They’re also not terribly aerodynamic or efficient. I ride them out to the middle of nowhere mostly, far away from any charging stations. Just my $0.02
Hahaha what? Do you know how efficient most motorcycles are? Do you know how aerodynamic a full fairing bike is?
Do you know how efficient most motorcycles are?
…yes?
Do you know how aerodynamic a full fairing bike is?
Also yes. Anymore questions?
They’re also not terribly aerodynamic or efficient.
Lmao
