Which are real?  Which are really the price they say?  Which actually go the speed they say they do?

I would hesitate to guess. But I will anyway.  ::) My guess is that many of the claims are a bit exaggerated.  ;)

I think Sondors and Evoke have begun deliveries, right?

I don't know about Kabira.

I think Fuell hasn't delivered the bike described.  Nor Ultraviolette.

I'm not sure, because I don't know these.

This is one of the better compilations of the highway-capable electric motorcycles available in the U.S. that I have seen so far. Concise, accurate and I didn't notice any BS - which is always nice.  :)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDC4I2waSWk

All I noticed was the information regarding the Lightning Strike being the company's BS. Everything else seemed to fit what I have heard about the models. In any case, certainly a better source of information than the first YouTube video.

The most of the information provided, such as range, power, top speed, weight and price for the electric motorcycle models (except for the Strike) discussed all seemed fairly accurate to me.

My BS meter is pretty sensitive. Also how has this guy not figured out how to pronounce Buell yet.

Well there is that. But still he seemed to have his act together better than most other people reporting on the electric motorcycle scene in a similar fashion. I did appreciate the improvement, especially when he mentioned that some of the bikes would only hit their top speeds for a short period of time before backing off by 20% or so. Something that is never mentioned in manufacturer press releases. How often do you hear that sort if information on one of these 10-minute compilations that are aimed at the general public who are not familiar with electric motorcycles?  ;)
