Took a Zero sr/f electric motorcycle for a test ride this morning and I have to say I am impressed, the power and acceleration is amazing, and I only had it in economy and standard mode, regeneration braking ( engine braking) was great too, hardly used the brakes. Would I have one, definitely, but at $45k it’s not affordable. But as more manufacturers enter the market,  prices will drop,  and we are sure to see a lot more electric motorcycles on the road in the future .
Good news, my Transalp has arrived at the dealership and should be uncrated and assembled on Monday, so hoping to have it by Tuesday.
Ride safe and stay well.
Cheers.

I'm out.    A rather crook back is being slow to get better, and I'm not sure I can sit and drive that far.

That is sad, hope you get better soon.

Came across a series called Vintage Voltage on SBS. It is all about converting old ICE cars to EV. (ruSTynutz will love it) When I went to SBS on Demand the first episode that came up was season 2022 episode 9 about converting a BMW 1602 to an EV. About half way through they show how the bumper bars are rechromed, really interesting.
