No kidding. 53 miles, then stop and charge for 3.5 hours, with 220 volt (meaning, you can’t just stop somewhere and charge it, unless you carry a step up converter around with you). Takes a lot of the fun and spontaneity out of riding. But I do imagine it is “doable” for those who just like to ride around a bit on Sundays.
Curious about other things, such as transmission (automatic? Can it even be manual?) and whether it has an auto-roll feature (it must if it is automatic). The Tesla has an auto roll feature that makes the car feel like a gas car does when you step off the brake. It actually comes in 2 speeds. You need to roll forward before you can pick up your feet, obviously. But maybe you just gas it, no clutch like an ATV or Trike?
It looks cool, and I think Harley Davidson has the right to try to market something in the sports category, something advanced etc... I know most purists don’t want those bikes. That’s why they bought Buell. It’s funny how even the fuel injection was ‘controversial’. I rented a Road King on Maui a few years ago (I ride an 2000 FXST and a newer Triumph T100) and actually liked the fuel injection though maybe it was just the scenery that got into my head.
though may just maybe one of those can am 3 wheelers might coax me back
