The "fuel" savings aren't significant... since we really don't burn miles nowadays. I don't put much stock in the "environment" hype.
So, for me, it is all about performance, maintenance, comfort, and ease of use. Plus, the "new tech" aspect that always interests me.

- August 24, 2021, 02:58:58 AMElectric vehicles are now the declared means of manufacturers to reach zero level of harmful emissions: some for convenience, some for real conviction.
However, what does not add up is the real impact on the environment of a totally electrified mobility system: I am referring to the fact that the overwhelming majority of global electricity production is still based on a system anchored to hydrocarbons and their derivatives, given the minority percentage of green production sources.
Certainly the way forward is the one already outlined, but without a concrete reduction in dependence on hydrocarbons the cost/benefit ratio of mass electrification will remain largely negative.
That said, I wouldn't mind riding an electric motorcycle, especially if it's not too expensive and with a pretty good design, like the one in the article.
But I still prefer to ride my Drifter! 
Just my 2 cents...

This one looks interesting but can't imagine it is very comfortable... would like to see it in person.
