Sorry, I'm new here...

Did the Victory/Brammo Empulses have reliability issues too?
I can't find if anyone purchased them after Victory's demise.

Maybe the bigwigs at Zero should make their gear open source. Their issues hurt the industry.

I think it's too soon to speculate on longevity of modern EV's.  There are a lot more choices now and a lot of OEM's involved.

Where in Canada are you moving to?  I like the Rumbler too!
Most likely, we'll be on Vancouver Island in the Nanaimo area.

Part of the draw of electric is 'less maintenance' since fewer parts. I would think that translates into longevity. I'm hoping that in the future, I'll pull the Rumble out of the garage, cruise on down to a car show, park between a 60s BSA and a Johammer and drool over vintage Teslas, Vettes and muscle cars (and hopefully a Corbin Sparrow).

Hi everyone,
I've been toying with the idea if an e-moto for a long time. Bought plans for the el-chopper but haven't been settled enough to build it.
Will be moving back to Canada, and decided to get a Rumble as my commuter. Its a small bike/scooter with a 100km/60mile max range, and 70kmh/44mph top speed.
It has a speaker for those who want to be heard.
I like the odd design and leading link front suspension.
I'm looking forward to starting my ev journey.
Future ambitions include getting a hybrid or ev car of some sort. Also, I'm toying with the 'what if I could get a Johammer J1 chassis' idea. I have an idea of what I'd like to do to the body.

Concerns... The demise if Brammo and all the issues with the Zeros have me worried. I like things that last, having owned several old/vintage ICE bikes and cars. $16000 on a Honda and I know it should be around in 20 years. That doesn't seem to be so with the modern electric vehicles. (As compared to 100 year old electric cars). What happened?
