First of all, they are eerily quiet which bikers don’t like. Bikers like to be noticed. In fact, it’s often fatal not to be seen. Being noticed and being seen is often part of the reason they ride bikes, not cars which they call china closets because they are so confining. Second, it takes a long time to re-charge the battery. It’s impossible to “Gas and Go” which would save valuable time. An electric motorcycle takes about four hours to re-charge the battery compared to about four minutes to fill up a gas tank. Third, they can go about 65 miles on a full charge compared to a big Harley Street Glide with a six gallon tank and 40 miles per gallon which is 240 miles compared to 65 miles for an electric bike. Clearly, gasoline is the best fuel for a motorcycle and while an electric motorcycle has some specific uses at which it excels, range it not one of them.
