@32:15 what is Terry talking about "forebrake" ? 4-brake? "Get a bike. I recommend the (four brake?) which is another thirteen point oh... and use it!"
Great pub piece and gives a good "feel" for the state-of-the-art in "Real, Actual electric motorbikes that you can go to a store and buy one today and actually have, for real." But really what was Terry saying? Best guess here is he was saying ... four-bank? like four battery bank? I think. It was a really key moment where I'm interested in what Terry is recommending and I don't even know what he's talking about, oops.

"Four brick" - the 13.0kWh stock configuration.

Each "Brick" is a battery unit, slightly larger than a shoebox. Each of the FX batteries is basically a brick. You can buy a 3-brick Zero S/DS/SR/DSR with a 9kWh battery or a 4 brick Zero S/DS/SR/DSR with a 13kwh battery.
