Title: Cool EV Tiddler
Post by: LowRyter on January 29, 2021, 12:10:49 PM
More commuter bike than tiddler.  80 mph and 80 miles to charge.  Looks cool.  $5k

Very cool! If I squint I see a husky single street bike.

Looks a lot like the new Husqvarna.  Must be the style du jour.

I like the styling, minimalist.  It's an EV and doesn't try to look like a traditional motorcycle.  To me, that is the appeal. 

It's only meant as a single seat commuter.  Honest to its intention.  If I had an EV, I'd like to look like an EV.

 I guess they beat Eric Buell's Fuell to the punch. He also uses a rear hub motor. I'll take the Fuell it would go could with my Buell.

  Not much customization-ability.  It might be ok for commuting, needs a bag for 'stuff'.

As a former Buell owner, I would be, ah, hesitant to purchase anything associated with Eric Buell.  He has produced more orphan motorcycles than about anyone I can think of.  Before I dropped that much coin on an EV, I’d want to feel confident that the manufacturer would be in business a few years after I bought it.  That’s not Buell’s history.
