RE: Electric motorcycles - 11

Solar energy has zero output at night when most people would charge their electric vehicle. Wind power is unreliable and will frequently give little or no output for days. especially cold days. Not that much hydro power in the south of England or any other flatish landscape. No geothermal power here either. Plus you have forgotten how much polution these generating systems create when they are manufactured / installed

Don't try to convince me. Convince the EU regulators who would like to regulate internal combustion powered vehicles out of existence. That day is coming in Europe. Maybe not elsewhere for a long time, though. But in the meantime I will continue to ride both ICE and electric motorcycles and save my car for trips to the hardware store. (Ever since I have been riding electric motorcycles the miles that I put on my car has dropped to about 300 a year.)

Pierre Terblanche strikes again with another industrial art museum display that no one would want to ride or could afford:

Interesting idea to keep gears on an electric motorcycle, but you can "leave it" in 2nd.RevoNEX_View_Side.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)RevoNEX_View_Controls.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

This is a slick, funny and informative video blog regarding the possibility of banning gasoline-powered motorcycles in the future. Just don't be weirded-out by the blogger's ad for a shaver that he inserts into the video early-on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKKPjDhxSnw

Yammie Noob is a spruiker.

At first I thought he was a Texas Fortnine but after watching him for 3 months, I think he is fluff with little substance.

His "Top 10" or "Top 7" or "Top 5" vids are a bit like Letterman in content.

He presents a monologue with random vision, and his few "how too" vids are too simple for experienced riders and lack detail, explanations and context for new riders.

Plus, I have never needed any maintenance or replacement parts on any of my Zero electric motorcycles since they got their act together in 2012. That sure saves a lot of money, compared with bringing my BMWs into the dealer for periodic servicing. My running costs are about 2 cents a mile.

I just spent my day eating a Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter's home while recharging my Zero in her garage.

You eat her food then use her electricity :)

I saw this photo of a fully-packed Zero Black Forest edition used during an African trip and was impressed with the rider's creativity and ability to use bungee cords. ::) https://electricmotorcycles.news/news/
