WHY IS THIS SO HARD ELON!?

No thanks.

>>28497256 (OP)
How can you have an adventure when your range is 60 miles LMAO

>Electric adventure bike gets 60+ miles range
>adventure bike gets 60+ miles
>adventure
Ah yes, the ADV bike for people who seek adventure within 20mi of their starting location, unless they carry a 100lbs battery swap on the back of their 13hp bike.

>>28497256 (OP)
>4kwh battery
>13.4hp peak motor
13.4hp = 10kw
so you can hold this massively underpowered bike at WOT for maybe 20 minutes if you charge it to the absolute limit
from the article
>Zeno’s business model is genuinely innovative. Buyers can purchase the complete bike for $1,500, buy just the bike without batteries for around $900

so you are telling me you are delivering a full motorcycle
that is wheels, tires, suspension, frame, bodywork, seat, windscreen, battery management/charging, motor, chain, sprockets, dash/tachometer/ECU, brakes, lights and horn for 900 dollars?

even sourcing the absolute cheapest, shittiest pot metal, zero quality control, godawful parts direct from the slums of china you would struggle to be able to sell these hand built from a garage

this is a classic investment scam that will deliver a handful of garbage to some idiots

It’s for shitty third world roads. The article says it’s an Indian company targeting India and Africa.

>run out of e-juice in the middle of the woods
lol lmao, enjoy getting ripped apart by mountain lions

>>28497256 (OP)
so with all the batteries that shits gonna weight like 700 lbs

>WHY IS THIS SO HARD ELON
Elon doesn't think motorcycles are real.

>>28497256 (OP)
Even when they're ultra cucked, motorcycles still feel 100x more liberating than a cage. People like Elon don't do things to surpass the competition or improve technology or whatever propaganda they spout, they do things to humiliate and demoralize the human race. I'm completely convinced it's a game/competition the social elites enjoy.

>you can carry spare batteries in the side storage areas, effectively doubling your range to 120+ miles.
kinda helps it but calling it an 'adventure' bike is wrong when all your storage is taken up by spare batteries lol, and those extra batteries are going to add a lot of weight
>Buyers can purchase the complete bike for $1,500, buy just the bike without batteries for around $900
for that pricing though it's going to be garbage made with ali express trash parts

>>28497256 (OP)
It's just a fat heavy ebike. Thing will be a hog offroad. Just get a dirtbike/dual sport.

>>28497264
The amount of retards who don't own a fire extinguisher. They're literally free, just take one out of the distribution receptacles.

>>28497718
This, there are a number of electric dirtbikes anyway. Zero Motorcycles apparently makes a good one. The military was developing a hybrid multifuel one that never made it to production that I'm pretty pissed about. Totally practical for them too, for special forces to ride into an area then shut off the engine and go electric for stealth.

>>28498233
out of the what now

batteries only make sense for dirt bikes and scooters

>>28497256 (OP)
Bikes really don't work with current battery technology. Many factors work against it:

>people don't want huge bikes
>people don't want heavy bikes
>drag is an absolute killer of efficency here
>can't charge too fast because fast charging needs heavier bigger hardware

The only way it makes sense is for 125cc replacements in cities and even then a 125cc petrol is going to be cheaper to buy.

>>28497256 (OP)
>At roughly $1,300-2,000 depending on configuration, it’s targeting markets in Africa and India where practicality trumps Instagram appeal.
oh so if it ever comes stateside it's going to be $5000 minimum, great

>poo company
>chink shit electrics (they are always safe)
>60 mile range on a fucking adv bike (this will be at least half in the "real world" if its too hot or too cold or raining or its a day ending in Y

No thanks lmao

>>28498399
plus 125cc engines already get like 150mpg so they really ought to be the last gasoline engines to go when the state mandates electricity for everything.

>>28498233
you cant put out lithium fires. he couldve opened the massive glass door and thrown it outside though

>>28498520
He doesn't have the brain power and preparation of a man what makes you think he has the bravery and emergency response skills of a man? That's a modern fatbody eunuch, expect about the response of a woman out of him.

>mfw when 100mph+ bike wrecks turn into white phosporous death clouds in all the glorious internet goreposting videos filled with ungbunga oooooooo eeeeeeeeee ungabunga

>>28498446
They don't even do double digits per month in India. Indian mass manufacturing companies are actually good, Hero, Bajaj, TVS, RE.

>>28497256 (OP)
Because, range, unlike cars, bikes can't weigh a ton and still be fun.

>>28498502
Pollution mandates being the driving end-all motive for engine design really has fucked everything.
Retuning my vvt to get rid of excess overlap, excessive scavenging, and nox control would give me 7-10% low range torque -and- 15% more mpg.
Ask yourself if 8 billion people using 15% less fuel is going to pollute more across the whole range of emissions than saving 20% nox. Not to mention the economy benefits of injecting billions x a few hundred $$$ per year into other spending.

Forest for the trees type of shit.

>>28497256 (OP)
I get a strange feeling that whoever designed that bike really likes Evangelion.

>so you are telling me you are delivering a full motorcycle that is wheels, tires, suspension, frame, bodywork, seat, windscreen, battery management/charging, motor, chain, sprockets, dash/tachometer/ECU, brakes, lights and horn for 900 dollars?
This makes sense to me.

>>28497264
its so funny that he runs around barefoot and even slips and falls like a faggot
so unmanly and pathetic

>>28502015
It's a good thing he didn't actually hit that fire with that water bottle, it would have spread the flame and caused it to burn twice as bad

>>28502017
why is that a good thing

>>28497301
i had a $1500 china dirt bike and the thing beat itself apart just by driving on rough, mostly paved roads. Bent the frame in multiple places, bent the handlebars, exhaust studs ripped out of the engine, rims bent, axle bent, the gas tank weld broke and spilled a gallon of gas on my lap and almost set the bike on fire.
