I don’t expect these to really catch on in New England.
So the government will have more charging stations built?
Alrighty then! More coal-fired power plants coming up!
“many of them sell for less than the equivalent of $1,000 apiece.”
Not the ones I’ve seen......nice try though. 👍

Toyota is going to sell a two-wheeler? Has there ever been a Toyota motorcycle produced in the past?
I absolutely despise the concept of electric cars. Bikes however seem to have a purpose. A couple months ago I was in San Antonio for ten days for work. Having hurt my foot, I wasn’t looking forward to a lot of walking and used Bird scooters a lot.
They were handy and remarkably quick and nimble.
Why?
I’ve been thinking of building my own out of junk. I have an old Schwinn 5 speed bannana seat bike and a 36 volt motor from a kids go cart. Run it on two 18 volt DeWalt batteries.
Fat tire E-bikes are good for getting out to the ponds and to your treestand. It would be a funny sight to have a deer on the trailer. The northeast libtards wouldn’t know what to say. They sell them at BassPro. My fishing buddy has one, he loves it.
A motor bike with an enclosed side car are the vehicle solution in the Phillipines. The combo is both in expensive, highly decorable, ans small. The hybrid is the best solution for city spaces lacking parking The vehicles for hire have replaced the ubiquitous jeepney
My Lectric fat tire step thru ebike works great for $999 and military discount, easily goes 20 mph with just a twist of the throttle, or with pedal assist gets you 45 mi range
And it folds in half to fit in my Tundra to take camping
While these two wheel electrics won’t replace our cars, they are already having a growing effect in the US. Because I live in Florida, I see it every day.
I’ve got a fleet of 6 powered vehicles including a van, two cars, an Electra-Glide, a scooter and an electric bike. The scooter and bike have replaced about half of the miles I used to drive. When I need to go to the store to pick up a few things the scooter is the vehicle of choice. When I get to the store I always see electric bicycles parked outside.
The bikes charge on regular home power without anything special and have at least a thirty mile range. My scooter is 170cc, gets 89 mpg, and will go about 120 miles on a tank of fuel at 60 mph. It starts and stops better than the vast majority of cars on our suburban roads.
The electric bikes and the new crop of 4-stroke or electric scooters are already viable and cheap. While they won’t replace cars and trucks, they greatly reduce the miles driven in larger vehicles.
They don’t replace cars and trucks but they have their place. They are fun and cheap too.
Its works it Florida where it is sunny and warm year round
Not to mention it is a bike friendly state. Bike lanes and sidewalks everywhere.
Not so much the further north you go.

Việt Nam already has crowds of electric bicycles with 25 to 50 kilometer ranges. Việt Nam also has as many gas scoots as ever and a lot of cars and bad traffic jams in the cities. The scoots, electric and gas never stop but the cars and trucks get tied up for hours. In the town where I stay there are a lot of yards with cars in them but mostly they just stay parked because it is easier to use the scoot. Prosperity is a happening thing in Việt Nam.
What’s the safety record for accidents?
There are some videos of these things exploding on subways and elevators. No thanks.
