RE: Electric motorcycles - 30

Kawasaki's first two full-size electric motorcycles are getting close to being marketed in Australia. But don't expect them to worry Zero, LiveWire, or Energica too much. And if you like the looks of the 400 Ninja, you will like the looks of these models. Here is the story as told by Motorcycle.com: https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/new-mod...launch-44593204

Here is an article published by Motorcycle.com regarding the FUELL Flow production plans and their pre-order deposit request. Erik Buell seems to be the spokesperson for this company: https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/news/er...orders-44592085

Here is the latest H-D financial news from Motorcycle.com. I note that H-D's LiveWire One electric motorcycle spinoff company sales are slumping. Only 33 units sold during the last quarter. But the brand is still hanging in there: https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/feature...report-44593087

It looks like Tesla was fibbing a bit when they specified long battery ranges for their cars. See the attached article that was in my newspaper today. I bet they are not the only manufactuer that does that.

(Although he still occasionally resorts to equations that are lost on the average rider to back up his comments, an unscripted Ryan Kluftinger sounds almost human. Always refreshing to hear some young and passionate voices discuss motorcycles.)

If you don't want to market a full-size highway-capable electric motorcycle, then you can dazzle the world with an electric rideable suitcase, instead. https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/15/m...ectric_vehicle/

For some reason the term ‘portaloo’ came to mind.

Here is more information regarding Honda's new Motocompacto, along with pictures of the old 1980's Motorcompo, which I think looks a lot nicer than the Compacto. The MSRP for the Motocompacto is $995. The Motocompacto will be arriving at Honda and Acura car dealerships in November. https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/s-honda...ctures-44594764

The small wheels are a concern. IMHO, US curbs and potholes are going to eat those Razer-like wheels. Also, the brake is on the opposite hand grip, similar to bicycles in some countries.
