Hello,

Zero emission or EV motorcycles are not an a viable solution and
frankly makes no sense. Already a motorcycle's range can be a
challenge for trips where gas stations are not available for long
stretches.

As a current owner of an EV and having made long trips (NorCal to
SoCal), it's already a challenge to make the drive given EV limited
range, lack of density / availability of charging infrastructure,
unreliable charging infrastructure, quantity high speed charging
stations available. We're talking a vehicle that has a 131 kilowatt
battery. A motorcycle's battery would be a teeny fraction of that
thus the range would also be a fraction of what a gas motorcycle
can achieve today. Which again can be a challenge already.

There is room for EV motorcycles and we have some already in the
market today. For those who are using them in city riding that is
short distance and doesn't require normal to long range, this is a
suitable alternative. It's a niche application though and not one
that can be relied upon to replace gas motorcycles.
