Honda WN7

[the Ferret]

Here's another thing Cormanus. The batteries in these EV bikes have life cycles of charges. So, if you charge it, that's one life cycle. Ride it a day bring it home and charge it so you can ride it the next day, that's a life cycle. Ride 7 days a week having charged the battery overnight every time that's 7 life cycles. So, if you are a daily rider, ride every day, recharge the battery every night you are seriously wearing out the battery. Zero says the battery is good for 1380 charge cycles. 1380 charge cycles divided by 365 days in a year equals 3.7 years before you will be due to buy a new $4000 battery. If you ride once or twice a week, it wouldn't be so bad, but for a daily rider it would be much cheaper to buy gasoline. $4000 in my NC at $3.50 a gallon (btw it's under $3 a gallon here now and has been all year) would buy 1143 gallons of gas and go over 80,000 miles @ 70 mpg (conservative.... I average between 74 and 81 mpg)

Then factor in the price of the bike. A Zero S today is about $20 grand. An NC 750 is $9500 or half the price of the electric.

I consider electric motorcycles rich guys toys.
