> These things go 175 miles, up to 450+ miles if you have money.
Only the heaviest models, ridden extremely conservatively.
- DANmode 1y ago> Buyers have the same objections I do. Buyers don’t know they exist, if they’ll struggle to register them, or how to work on them! The heaviest ones seem like the same weight as a 600cc or 1000cc crotch rocket - am I missing something big?
- loeg 1y agoBuyers are aware they exist and registration isn't a problem. Ability to repair is another big problem / question mark. > The heaviest ones seem like the same weight as a 600cc or 1000cc crotch rocket - am I missing something big? Livewire One is 560 lb! Energica Ego was 570! 600s and liter bikes aren't anywhere close to that -- low 400s lb for 600s, and 430-440 lb for a liter bike.
