    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)

        Motorcycle riders will need to ride electric at some point.

        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.
