Crissa, I am not aware of any. But if there were a motorcycle tour operator in North Carolina I would think they would operate in the western part of the state since you have Deals Gap and the Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway and other famous roads out there. But EV  charging is scarce  out there. Greenlots had several DCFC out there that they turned off there rather than upgrade the communication system to 4G.

Yes his Forum name is RedClay, he does tours with FXs with swappable batteries and they swap out midway through.  Some roads but they have a nature off road focus.

We pay about $60/year in Virginia. Not a good deal for a lightweight vehicle that doesn't do big miles.

That's equal to 285 gallons of gas tax or a little over 14K miles on a motorcycle.

I guess that isn't a great deal.
