I think it's too soon to speculate on longevity of modern EV's.  There are a lot more choices now and a lot of OEM's involved.

Where in Canada are you moving to?  I like the Rumbler too!

Most likely, we'll be on Vancouver Island in the Nanaimo area.

Part of the draw of electric is 'less maintenance' since fewer parts. I would think that translates into longevity. I'm hoping that in the future, I'll pull the Rumble out of the garage, cruise on down to a car show, park between a 60s BSA and a Johammer and drool over vintage Teslas, Vettes and muscle cars (and hopefully a Corbin Sparrow).

Hi,
The past March I bought a 2018 Zero DS with charge tank. I live in southern Vermont about 5 mi. from the nearest paved road. For 80% of my riding the range covers me on a single charge at home. The charge tank works for the rest. Only once have I been unable to charge up away from home because all of the ports were in use. Easily found another nearby.

I'm retired so stopping for 1/2-1 hour to charge is no big deal. I can get lunch and often have a pleasant chat with people curious about the bike. Some people even take pictures.

Have been very pleased with the bike so far.  I almost bought a gas bike instead but am now convinced I made the best choice all things considered.

Hi Everyone,

I'll soon get my hands on my first electric motorbike, an EVA
It will be my daily bike, mainly for commuting. Having a Fast Charge point at my job, it motivated me to begin this futuristic adventure.

I did try a Zero SR some weeks ago, and, even if it's powerfull enought compared to my current SV650, it felt like i ran a 125cc motorbike.
This is why I chose an Energica EVA, for its full sized aspects and the DCFC feature.

Hope I'll be able to help current and future E-Motorbikes owners as much as you all helped me to choose my first (and I hope not the last) EV

If any other French E-Riders, feel free to contact me for a ride or any discussion

My name is Joe Berk.  I started a site with Joe Gresh (www.exhaustnotes.us) and we are covering a ebike and other topics on it.  I've done a few range tests on the new CSC City Slicker on our blog.  Today, Gresh (he wrote Motorcyclist magazine's "Cranked" column) wrote a piece on the Livewire, which you can see here:

I'll post more on the Slicker in a bit.

I always enjoyed reading Gresh's stories in Bike magazine, although I will admit to not always understanding some of his points.  The referenced Live Wire article is pretty tame, though.

I just joined as well.  I am in Seattle and new to motorcycles as well.  I just got my endorsement and will be looking at a Zero DSR in the coming weeks.

Hello Zolf and welcome.  Where do you live and how is the EV community and infrastructure there?

[zolf]

Hello,
I live in France, near Toulouse. Infrastructures for EV are well developed here because a lot of locals authorities  initiatives. But it's not very important for me, i usually use my bike on weekends on a ride not far from home : i am lucky to live in a beautiful region !

Welcome, you just missed the amazing Paris Night ride.

This will probably be a growth forum too I'd say the way green energy/renewables are going.
