RE: Electric motorcycles - 21

Here is apparently what Kawasaki has been working on in the way of an electric vehicle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_y_t6MSuAQ

More Yamaha scooter news. Not much new here other than Yamaha developing their own scooter with a permanent, non-removable, battery and the thought of going almost carbon neutral by 2050: https://thepack.news/yamaha-motor-introd...from-july-2022/

This is a great idea for a number of reasons. A Yamaha electric trials bike: https://thepack.news/yamaha-motor-update...e-new-ty-e-2-0/

BRP, Bombardier Recreational Products, the makers of Can-Am motorcycle/scooters and the Spyder reverse-trike, is going electric using the technology that they bought when Alta (located in Brisbane, just south of San Francisco at the time) folded, thanks to H-D's influence. Here is the interesting news: https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcy...ric-motorcycle/

In view of current events in Ukraine, this is an interesting electric motorcycle startup request for crowdfunding article:

A couple of weeks ago, I had just parked my "Rowdy Randy" R1100S BCS at the dealer and was taking off my helmet and earplugs. A bike "coasted" in nest to me. I thought he had turned it off early. Turned out it was a H-D Livewire. The silence kind of startled me.

These two new French electric motorcycle models look nice and clean. As French vehicle designs go these are not bad looking. Pretty traditional, with just a electric power pack lump inserted into the frame. Since they are low production bikes, their prices are not exactly bargains: https://thepack.news/rgnt-motorcycles-pr...store-in-paris/

I just heard a report on KCBS, the San Francisco news radio station. An inspection of 181 public fast charging stations around the San Francisco Bay Area was performed recently by a group of researchers and they found that 25% of them were broken in one way or another and were non-functional. Another 5% had charging cables that were too short to reach some electric vehicle charging ports. The reporter said that those maintenance and design problems were going to need to be solved if California wanted to eventually replace most ICE vehicles with electric-powered ones in the future.

Tesla charging stations were not surveyed in this study.

H-D previews their new LiveWire S2 Del Mar electric motorcycle model: https://www.motorcycle.com/new-model-pre...first-look.html

I just did a quick calculation using a Kill A Watt meter when fully charging my Zero S this morning after riding 74 miles to my daughter's home and back this weekend. About 1/3 freeway travel and 2/3 surface streets. The cost, at my home's electric rate of 40 cents per KWh was 2.3 cents per mile.
