The range and charging leave a lot to be desired for many applications, but the bikes themselves seem to be quite nice.

My concern is that finding chargers will be even more difficult than it already is since I don’t think there is any DC charging support. So none of the side-of-the-highway EV charging stations will work, and you’ll specifically have to seek out a level 2 charger next to a coffee shop or something. Just makes any travel longer than the ~130 km range even more hopeless.

If I didn’t already commute everywhere locally by bike, I would definitely consider something like this though.

The real innovation here that makes these bikes cool is the drivetrain. It’s built into the swingarm area so both of these bikes have the exact same drivetrain but way different riding characteristics.

Battery life is meh because you can’t really drive this thing to the trails unless you’re already close by. But the performance will knock the absolute wind out of a gas equivalent.
