So true :
The importance of quality control
Finally, what electric motorcycle manufacturers really have to pay attention to is quality control. Almost no one other than the vehicle designers know how to repair them if they stop running. You can not take your electric motorcycle to your local Yamaha or Honda dealer and say please fix my bike, it won’t run. Almost no one in the established motorcycle retail industry has a clue how to repair this technology and it will take years before they can be properly trained, so it has to be 100% bullet proof, unless the manufacturer is willing to send technicians to individual customers homes or to their dealer’s shop to make repairs. You can do this for a while, but it won’t be long before that system will fall apart due to the cost in time, travel and manpower required. Plus, if electric vehicles earn a reputation for being unreliable and unrepairable after being purchased by owners, the word will get around, future sales will suffer and vehicle retail businesses will not want to sell the product. Right now the technology is not completely reliable or repairable by current internal combustion vehicle trained service technicians and that could start hurting sales – especially considering the price of the vehicle.
