looks like AI is getting better at peddling cheap garbage.

Odd that you jump straight to AI, I thought you were a bit more technically literate than that. The logo on his jacket matches the Youtube channel and his username here and he has plenty of legit videos going back 5 years, nothing fishy really. The only thing I do find odd is the translations of the text but maybe he's just trying to appeal and cater to a wider audience, given the more foreign aimed bikes he's featuring on his channel.

Anyways, I never even knew this thing existed so I appreciate the post and video. It's an interesting one for sure with the whole Honda and Wuyang collaboration, I'm guessing it's mostly Honda design and then Wuyang engineering. Not necessarily a bad thing just probably not all that indicative of what Honda will do when they make an electric bike on their own. From reading up about it it seems like a decent little bike especially for the equivalent bike, although of course it would cost a bit more if it ever came out outside of China. And for importing one although it has rather fast charging (for AC) not only is there the 220V issue for some countries I'm also assuming it has a China only EVSE port and would require some sort of adapter.

TheRan,
  Thanks for your post and questions..  the E-VO has two charging ports.  One is the standard Chinese EVSE port, and the other port is for "Home Charging".  The E-VO has a charger built in, and so you get a home charging cable, but no external charger.  One end of the charging cable fits into the "Home Charging" port on the side of the E-VO, right next to the EVSE port.  The other end of the cable is a standard Chinese 220V Type 1 male plug.  It fits right into the 220 sockets on this transformer:

There’s as much AI in that video as there is in my posts (none).

How do you come to such conclusions?

But you had a similar electric vehicle 4 weeks ago closer to what I might have a use case.

Smart phone mount on the brake reservoir, interesting.

I wandered around your videos trying to find riding with audio matching the video.  I found this on a sign  withlacoochee state trail.

kind of Orlando latitude and mostly toward the gulf of America.

gulf of America.

[Specter]

daytona is around those parts too.  tampa / st pete a bit more towards the gulf of America

where you seen was way out in the sticks heading west into the forests / sometimes swamps and a bit north,  significantly closer to the gulf, orlando is kind of in the middle of the state, hence the horrible heat / humidity in the summers..well, that could describe most of florida. 

a lot of rural small towns up that way, very friendly, quaint, nice people in general.

One of those crying with laughter emojis would be very apt right about now. The funny thing is from the way Fran K types I always assumed they were from somewhere where English isn't the first language, but from one of their posts I've discovered they're probably from Connecticut.

I did see that you used the other charging connector, that's a nice feature to see. I wonder if it's a standardised connector as it looks similar to the battery connectors on some bikes with removable ones. I'd be tempted to chop off the China plug and fit some sort of NEMA one and then just use a proper 220V outlet like people usually have in their garage.
