Comment on Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon.
realitista@lemmus.org 3 days agoThe batteries are actually lighter than the Lithium batteries in there previously. But yeah, we can put them in the same category with most EV makers when it comes to overstating range.

They are claiming a weight of 400Wh/kg so the extra weight should be at least another 70lbs if it didn’t require any extra bracing which it probably does that while it may not be a lot for a 3000lb car it is sizeable for a 400lb bike
it’s a lot worse than other EV makers misleading claims, because 12mph is literally a joke of a speed to test at considering that’s slower than a cyclist on a non motorized bike and it is not even considering a fast speed to run at.
A still misleading but at least defendable claim would be if they did one at 25mph and called that their city range but 12mph is just an insulting claim
