The British magazine, Motor Cycle News, is not too impressed with the MotoCycez's performance so far. They are doubting that it has 200 hp, or can maintain that power output for more than a few seconds. Read their comments here:

Guy has been on a bit of a tear lately ripping into MotoCzysz it seems. Man, I think when people have been thinking "gas bike" for so long it will take time to understand electric is a different animal.

The understanding that peak torque can't be maintained for a long time with today's ev technology is slowly sinking in. It's false currency only if you are thinking gas bike power behaves like electric bike.
