You mean two renderings of radiators?

Go see if you can help the Energica guys with their overheating.

I got this over here.

Accountability is only for companies that exist and deliver tangible products, then.

Critique is reserved, by normal people, for after a product or service has been given to a customer in exchange for the full cost of that product.
Yes.

You can also cool things to different temperatures by putting them in different sections of a cooling loop.

It's literally rocket science, but it is something that's done in more things now.

Big question I have is with the battery cooling is whether or not it functions during charging? Any ideas?

We can't know, but presumably.  That's when it's of most use.

I turned on the closed caption so I could read as well as listen.  Minute 31:30  Over 100 folks have ridden the bike.  Note investors is mentioned.  Have they signed a non disclosure agreement?  Any of them members on here?

Things are pretty slow, I for one go by recent posts when coming here and the ignore function doesn't work in that mode.  Post up a half hour suggested viewing best expect some discussion.  Couldn't Morgan do a video interview for his "channel"? 
This is long distance.

The only hybrid to come to market the Vespa with less than a gallon of gasoline tank seemed not to make it more than a year,  The baby steps for honda pancake motor got virtually no intrest.  Putin's body guard squadron of electric bikes gets no mention.  This section is what is "hot"   

Edit, this site gives virtually no time to edit before it shows editing.  At this point folks in the manufacturing consulting business have completely dis assembled Tesla product and written about such.  I just point this out in 2021.

Another side note kind of pertinant to the traction control discussion elsewhere on here.  Honda bought Montesa years ago and Montesa bikes are made in europe, France I believe though it says honda on the engine unit.  They import them once a year,  find a dealer that will get you one, tell them so, at some time they ask for a $500 deposit via card, a month or two later you go with a bank check and pick it up, they actually have the certificate of origion in hand.  I don't know how the special order goes with BMW, the bikes in stock are loaded with options but one can order the base model.

Jay did post his telephone number publicly and said people could call, but if I were to do that I'd want to pick questions very carefully so it's not just a bunch of, "Aha, gotcha!" type questions. I don't think anything positive would come from such an interaction on either side. There's no reason for me to actively poke a bear, you know? I'll voice my concerns here and on other forums, and if he wants to go out of his way to converse with me then I will step up and attempt to do so in a professional manner.

[Crissa]

That's a very good point.  I don't think Jay always speaks exactly correct.  And that happens, no one is perfect, especially when they're primarily a consumer of tech rather than a producer.

Maybe if you wrote out your questions in a more specific format?

We all have questions.  And you know we think your butt in the seat is influencing.  You guys have the most miles in the most electric motorcycles of anyone I've ever heard of.

I special ordered my 2009 BMW F650GS. All it took was a visit to my dealer, handing them a $500 deposit and waiting 6 months for the bike to arrive.

When I bought my 2016 BMW R1200RS I asked about buying the base model and was told that it would have to be special ordered and would take about 9 months to arrive. Naturally, I didn't want to wait so I bought the loaded "launch" model, which was the only thing available at the time. SOP for BMW.

People ask questions on the Damon FB page all the time.

They have a schedule of information release so it will come out when they see fit to release it.

Once again that's why there is no point in speculating when you can't get confirmation one way or the other.
