If you’re interested in electric motorcycles and/or technology, it’s an interesting time to be alive. The technology, most people can agree, has gotten better—but it’s still not at parity with the ease and convenience of combustion-powered machines as of the end of September, 2022. (By the way, that’s by no means a knock on electric bikes, or anyone who loves them—it's just that evolution of any new technology takes time.)
The important thing to keep in mind about any specific niche of motorcycling is, it has certain quirks—and either you love them/put up with them, or you don’t. Electric bikes may be younger as a category, but they’re the same way. Right now, riders attracted to them primarily want a different challenge from what they may have adapted to with previous petrol-powered bikes that they’ve owned. Variety is the spice of life, et cetera.
