My take on the EV trend is that while the Zero is an impressive (if flawed) technical acheivement, it's an example of massive overkill. There is absolutely no good reason for an EV to have 140 (or in some cases 160) ft/lbs of torque. that's just gratuitous. If they put a motor that was half as powerful (70 ft/lbs) it would still have more torque than a CB1100. Then you could put about 3/4 the battery and still have more range than the current design, while having a whole lot less weight.
It's smaller, more sensible Ebikes with longer range and more conservative power that will eventually dominate the market, not the Zero SR/F.
