    These bikes are usually slower, less than 120 miles of range, and are almost double the price of a gas bike.

    And you can’t really fix them anywhere but a highly specialized service dealer.

    I watch a lot of bike and motorcycle touring videos on YouTube. These people have their busted bikes repaired in small African villages without any real issues. I couldn’t see anyone adventure riding on an e-motorcycle.

    Emotos are designed for riding near civilization, and in that case, e-bikes are better in nearly every way.
