Honda WN7

[the Ferret]

According to google

The Verge TS Pro offers a claimed city range of up to 217 miles and a highway range of around 124 miles at a steady 56 mph, though the true range varies based on factors like riding conditions, riding style, and temperature. The motorcycle's world-record ride of 193 miles through London's traffic was under urban conditions, with 7% battery remaining.

Heck even I go faster than 56 miles an hour upon occasion lol

I agree, Ferret, electric bikes for anything more than a short commute or short weekend ride are not yet a seriously viable proposition. Were I still at work and having to commute by road, one would work really well. So too for much of the sort of riding I'm doing at the moment. As for the rides that give rise to chronicles — nah.

Gone, if the Zero or Verge are mere trifles, pop out, buy one, and give us a series of reports as you get used to it.

the range would be enough for my  frequently used standard loop.... 

torque from a 1000ccm and power from a 600ccm   are more as enough....

if i would sale all my actual bikes i could afford the wn7...

ok I would keep the grom....

I don't know how much money I'll give my mechanic for maintenance work within 3-4 years, I'll probably get half a battery for it........ Except for changing tires there are probably no costs ?

or too......

That's the idea. We have solar panels on our roof that generate more than enough power to run our house. We don't have a battery, so we sell the surplus to our energy provider.

Which is much better for the environment, no battery disposal when they degrade too much.

look at ca minute: 5

Here's another small disadvantage I can add to electric bikes based on my limited experience. Of course I can't speak for all E moto platforms, but I've ridden a couple of different form factors from Zero and I have to say.... There's something really off about the gyroscopic forces at play in the motorcycle. It was HARD to turn. The Zero SRF felt like it was fighting me twice as hard as my triumph to stay on a line in a curve. The thing only really wants to go straight, and that wasn't giving it the full beans either. Some combination of its weight distribution and the immediacy of the torque creates a machine that doesn't quite understand what the rider wants from it. Given their similar architecture, I wonder if the WN7 has made any improvements there.

I will add that at first the non-tactile sense you get when you climb on an EV bike is weird. When I took my test ride on the Zero, the guy pulled it out of the shop, turned on the key and said "there it's running". I said "what's running?" as I couldn't hear or feel anything sitting on the bike. It was just a dead lump. He said just twist the throttle and you'll go. So I did. Rode about a block and came to a stop sign. When I stopped I immediately thought " dang, this thing just quit" (because there is no sound or vibration to let you know it's in fact still running) as I was looking down and around at the "motor" trying to figure out how to get it started again. I twisted the throttle and it took off again. Weird...although I guess you get used to it.

like scooter without sound......turn the throttle and brake that's it..........and if you stand a bit longer : start/stop automatic.. and quiet  there is...minimum at the little scooters from honda
