Electric motorcycles have never had a market.
Why are companies trying to force a product that nobody is asking for?
Built better e-bikes, and forget e-motorcycles.
Motorcycle riders will need to ride electric at some point. I’m asking for this product, but the price is too high and performance is not good enough for me to justify it yet. (Same as cars to be fair)
Which motorcycle riders? Do you see e-motorcycles being a realistic market in the places where the majority of motorcycles are used? Undeveloped countries.
There needs to be an overwhelming benefit to owning one, and that’s just not happening any time soon.
You may get some niche grey area products gaining traction (i.e. Surons), but it’s extremely hard to convince people to get a standard e-motorcycle.
Because gas motorcycles will eventually be forced to cease production much like cars. So the motorcycle manufacturers will eventually need to make one
I mean, are we talking the next 10 years? 50? 150?
ICE vehicles really can’t just go away unless underdeveloped or developing nations have a way to also own what’s next.
I agree that it will eventually get there, and that we really should be moving away from ICE vehicles, but we need to be realistic here. It’s hard for even people living in North America or Europe to afford an EV… or even food and rent, for that matter.
