Honda’s presence in the electric two-wheeler space has long been limited to one-off scooters and bikes. But all that is set to change with the Japanese maker unveiling a performance electric motorcycle called the EV Fun Concept at this year’s EICMA motorcycle trade show.

Acceleration of a 650. Range of 62mi.
/yawn

Oh and it will likely look nothing like the concept, as always. The rider triangle is much too sporty to be "for the masses" and it has no turn signals and useless fenders.

IMO, electric motorbikes don't make any sense - they're not for cities, and they're not for road-tripping because their range stinks. They're an insistence on round-peg in a square hole; they're a mechanical horse.

What we need is tiny one-person electric cars - the limit on range at highway speeds is aerodynamics, and motorbikes just aren't as aerodynamic as putting the human inside a shell.

In what way are they not for cities? I think that's what they're best at.

I don't know what I want. Something really basic? But then why not just but an e-bike? I initially thought a ct110 type bike, but what advantage does that have over a push bike? I'm not sure any more. Maybe I just want something I can afford and justify to my family.

I don't know how it is in the US, but in Aus an e-bike is limited to 25km/h. So that's why a ct110-type bike would be cool. Could sell them to Auspost too.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
