At 886 pounds of road hugging weight, I sure hope it has a reverse option. And maybe a small crane to lift it up for wheel removal.   :o  Is the price of the bike and its different configurations a secret until you place your order? I bet it costs even more than a fully optioned Zero DSR/X.   ::)

I maintain that 30kWh is the minimum battery capacity for an E-bike to be competitive with ICE.

Cas :)

Nope. I just then purchased my very first EV, the Zero DS. At that time, I didn't even know other electric bikes existed.


Is this Brutus V9 just more vaporware?



I discovered Energica in this forum, which is my favorite bike to ride for most of my rides--especially between here and Auburn (~100 miles).


BTW, for now and for perhaps a few years or longer, do not take Hwy 20. (https://yubanet.com/regional/construction-work-and-travel-delays-continue-on-hwy-20-between-nevada-city-and-i-80/) Long delays. More construction there now than I have ever seen anywhere in my life. Thousands of trees cut, dirt and dust where there used to be trees. Really messing up what used to be a beautiful riding area. Hundreds of construction vehicles in that area.
