I want to love electric dirt bikes so bad. I really do.
But i need range. 100 miles of city driving is just nowhere near what I'd need to replace my f850gsa. I can get 300 miles of range, and carry an equivalent amount of gas to get to over 600 miles. Now i don't expect an electric to give me 600 miles... but we need to be at least around the 250-300 mark to let me feel confident enough to go off grid for a few days, and be close enough to some sort of charging infrastructure.
No, but i imagine costs would be high for that, and it creates additional logistical hurdles. Not saying it couldn't work but... I'd still want that base range of at least 250-300.
I want to like electric motorcycles, but they're either more expensive than a decent car, or are obviously designed by non-biker engineers that don't understand what bikers want.
