It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

fully street-legal in 50 states

False.

I can tell just by looking at those pictures that with no factory rear fender and the brake light and turn signal being well below the legal mandated surface area this bike absolutely would not pass inspection for street legal certification in my state. Zero percent chance.

Fix that, then take my money.

I'm not (yet) in the market for an electric dual sport, but every so often when I look up the spec sheets, I'm still floored by the fact that electric motorbikes can be 100-200 lbs (45-90 kg), giving them some wild power-to-weight ratios. This one appears to come in at 8 kW and 165 lbs (75 kg), with its larger cousin at 12 kW and 195 lbs (88 kg).

The top speed of 100 kph (62 mph) could be somewhat limiting if used as a freeway commuter on weekdays and fun machine on weekends. But still, all very good to see more choices in this market.
