General Discussion / Re: Texas outlaws lane sharing
« on: September 26, 2023, 07:38:17 AM »
Agreed Swampnut. That seems to be the way to go. For example the current lane splitting law in the Netherlands: it is allowed when traffic is going slower then -I think- 20mph. Why that speed? Because the distance between the cars in then so small that cars cannot merge unexpectedly into another lane (and so being a danger for splitting bikes).

So I wonder why it has to be so black and white? A bit more specific law is helpful. How hard is that.

One more thing about the sound: I am just hoping that when at normal highway speed, I don’t have to listen to motor sound, but instead music (assuming there is no wind noise (good screen) and road noise is obviously unavoidable). As such the question for sound …. an important reason for my switch to e.

Don, you could try the Chargpoint app on your mobile phone to start and stop the charging?
P.s. on your question about one-pedal driving. My (old) Tesla model S 85D, does not have that option unfortunately.

Hayo.

Very useful info!

@Oilcan, good to hear there is a b-door available for the Zero. It made me look at their website and the special section with all accessories tells all, great!

@Flynnstig82r, no idea where they got the Streetfighter sound compare from (I guess the dBa meter, duh). The only thing that was mentioned was that it was full open-throttle launch from a hairpin and keep going hard uphill until the next pin.
Me, looking for the i-dunno-emoticon.

@Don, the software glitches you mentioned really pulled my enthusiasm down TBH. Especially the stuck charger! Assume you reported it. And strange that you have never been notified of software version updates. It’s not a good thing because I as a potential buyer now know that there isn’t full disclosure on trying to improve, which might affect their sales. It’s just a customer-service type of thing, as you already mentioned (e.g. late delivery w/o info etc).

BTW, now you talked about regen. I always wanted to have regen that brings (my e-car) to a full stop (doesn’t do it)…Don, from your writing I understand they both come to a full stop (if regen was set to high). That’s a good thing IMO: one-handed riding!

FYI: last pic from the magazine. these two bikes' performance comparison and I added 2 strong naked ones on the side - for fun. I guess as known, the pull is at least as good as these strong classified ICEs, looking at the figures.

H….

Ok, that's interesting. Noise for others or self...something to think about, who wins?  :o

The other thing I noticed in the summary report of the comparison (I have attached the rating for each compared item) is that the bikes apparently differ quite a bit in a few points. If you can give your view, that would be great....you're such a help with having both bikes. I have the q's below highlighted in the pic.

1. the cornering stability. Any truth in the test difference?
2: breaking downhill. It appears that the rider loses confidence after a number of strong breaks due to less effective breaking (the need for a squeeze): DSR/X
3. Ground clearance. Just wonder if you ever noticed that.
4. Wind and weather protection. Which would have the capability of less turbulence (head protected, not clean wind). Say for a 6.1 rider? I am using a barn-door on the GS now but that won't be available for these bikes I think?

It worth to mention that this test was done in the Alps and testing the bikes on their specific capability to do the heavy twisties up and down the mountain passes. I guess an exceptional burden on the bikes, not something on the menu of a day-today rider :)....for example, they said the DSR/X got eventually an overheated motor and forced the rider to slow down by making less power available to rider.


thanks for any input!

A newbie here!…..thanks for the awesome posts! Very helpful….

To bring the comparison in another area, one of the reasons for me being interested in moving to an electric bike (after a long wait to get them matured) is the sound (not a fan of loud noise, give me the music instead).

In a recent motorcycle magazine article (MOTOPLUS) there was a comparison test between these two bikes. One of the many things compared was the noise. It was said that the DSR/X was very quiet (not much motor noise) and the Experia was a screamer (when e.g. accelerating hard).

Not talking about belt/chain difference now. The testers said that the Experia was similar to the sound of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S (ICE) when opening the throttle hard.

This really surprised me…is this really true?

FYI: see attached a dB(A)-test of 8 motorbikes (including these 2 electrics). Font is a bit weird as pic was taken using Google Translate, translating Dutch text to English.

Hayo
