i made 72km and the accu was still good for round 60km more .... Big Grin....my standard loop has 100km...and for go to work it would be also enough..... power like a 600ccm and torque like from a 1000ccm but all from the first second......classic engines need always first rpm until comes the full power 

i drove most in the econ or standard modus ...

Wow! I didn’t know that bike was out in the wild yet. Are they widely available in your area?
Have you bought it, alprider? Or were you test riding? Sounds fun and looks pretty good too.
Alp, what size is the fuel tank, and what is that case underneath it for...?  Big Grin Tongue

You've got nice electric machine!!
The first units are now being delivered to the dealers. My dealer's bike is only a test bike for now.

The saddle is very hard; you have to sit all the way back to be able to stand it for any length of time.

its real fun such kind bike......and i like this silence... which I already liked in the Gold Wings.

If I drive at 80 km/h on a level surface and have selected the strongest recuperation setting, I reach 50 km/h after approximately 50 meters.
or
If you suddenly slow down in town, you'll almost have the nose on the front wheel. smileeee.. the normal brakes become useless.........

Starting off is very smooth and very easy to control...or stop-and-go traffic is a dream.

Overall handling and suspension are absolutely fine.Charging the battery works like in cars.The charger for direct connection to a normal household socket is included.....its during round 5.5 hours for full.....

That's good to hear.  I was concerned that an aggressive regen profile would be problematic on a motorcycle since (I assume) it goes through the rear wheel.  But it sounds like it works fine.

The normal brakes will probably last a long time.  I recently sold a 13-year old electric car with over 137000 miles and the buyer told me the original brake pads passed the state inspection for wear.

I'm glad you're enjoying the bike.  Also I'm happy to see in the specs it can deliver 50 kW peak output.  An earlier report said the bike was "based around an 18kW water-cooled motor" which had me worried.  Maybe that is a continuous power rating.
So, Alp, if that bike is a demo model, are you planning to purchase one when the dealership has more to sell?
Alp, we need to know more
yes 18kW is the  continuous power rating.....max power is 50kW ......

for example in the rain-modus is the recuperation only in the first level (low) 

You need to learn how to use the throttle in different situations, and which recuperation setting to use in which mode. 

The acceleration in econ mode is like accelerating normally and calmly in a car....That's perfectly sufficient for my normal personaly driving habits.

just:  my standard loop has 100km...and for go to work it would be also enough........in case of case......My dealer would have to take at least half of my current bikes as a down payment....For my budget, the bike isn't exactly cheap..... and At home, I'd first have to figure out how to recharge it....I don't have a garage; the parking space isn't directly against the house wall.
I like these, limited range, expensive but I still like the idea of one. The well reported uncomfortable seat has me ruled well out though :-)
