Yes as much as i resist it, it is the way of the future.
Is that current news Jaffee?
Was in the Australian newspaper yesterday, so yes. A dealership charge goes for an hour or so and a home circa 10 hours pending what’s needed. Sounded like more than swapping a part out but guess new tech and all they need it right.
The way electricity prices are going it will cost more to charge it to run less than filling the bike
Everything going up PB. I swear a proportion of the population wants us back living in caves!
Well just 2 weeks ago I saw my first Livewire in the metal and SAT ON IT AND RODE IT !
Not in Australia , but in the West of Scotland while visiting my old mother.
It was "static" on a rolling road , at a West Coast HD display tent at the Scottish boat show.
( Porsche/Audi etc etc blah blah all had their shit there too !)
Bike in question had a Km/H speedo readout , the sales girl was quite at length to point that out.
You had to accelerate in a certain manner due to the inadiquacies of the rolling road I presume.
You could feel the "engine braking" as it "recharged" on decel.
The bike was not "registered" and was I presume Euro spec ( the Km/H speed readout !)
It was and had been touring the European dealers.
30,000 pounds sterling ( close to $60,000 Aussie dollars !!) the male salesman reckoned. ( No fucking way !)
The dolly bird biker sales bird also took some video of me on my phone , but I can't get video to the forum.
It is QUIET , the rolling road was making all the racket and vibration. It was sitting on a bed of gravel in what was otherwise a boatyard at a rivermouth.
