Why did you join here?  My electric motorcycle model name is Freeride.

The text article is not worth much besides the weight distribution.  2 seconds faster than a sort of street bike Energica but how long is the course for those not following the series.   The video is great in my estimation.  Makes me wonder what the traction control rules are in motorcycle road racing.  Is it still AMA rules?

The article or the webpage states it is avilable now.  Going to https://ryvid.com/ it is get on the list.  Is it already DOT approved?  At first I thought about tipping over and easily picking it back up.  Some doesn't make sense 1.6 inches or rear travel, just a linkage for packaging purposes or advertising?  Four inches of seat vertical adjustment, add in some suspention and a touring padded part with a nice passenger portion.  The front brake looks much like the one on my 2017 ktm, later they went to all of the pistons on one side.

For all the reading the guy won't use a kil a watt meter.  I got 2.3333 kw on board charger from figures off that page.

Sounds like it will do 60mph with changes to the final drive.

One other thing that I thought of last night is that none of the motorcycle brand forums that I frequent are supported by ads on the forum. Not even BMW will post an ad on any of the many BMW enthusiast motorcycle forums that I have visited to help support it, much less any EM brand. You would think that a little advertising revenue from the major EM brands would help to keep the forums afloat. But that does not seem to be the case.   

Just a tidbit of information for you.  BMW owned the Husqvarna motorcycle brand for a while and in that time era they bought the internet forum huskytalk.  It was pretty deserted at that point as the traffic had mostly moved on to cafehusky.  It was much more street bike oriented than before they bought it.  I am not sure what will happen if I go to huskytalk now.

Edit:  I just went there and guess who was the last poster?  at least on the page that showed up.  Kind of confusing 190 or so folks on there no actual members and 2022 seems last posting.  I can't find where I stored my user name and password.

It doesn't really say if they intend on having the actual charging spaces covered with a roof or if they intend on having them pull through for someone pulling a trailer.  Place to walk your dog makes a big difference for some.

Just a bit more.  It is a motorcycle forum anyway.  When they made the electric company which is now Eversource, it was CL&P (Connecticut light and power) and maybe more in between divest their power plants the customer got the choice of choosing their supplier or have the electric company do it. This led to much tele marketing as other entities woud offer less price but only guarantee it for 6 months.  And there were (and are you are not locked in the way I understane it) eco-friendly generation company to choose from.  I think the end user is kind of insulated from the peak fees.  I just stayed with not picking a supplier.

I read on a sort of competing forum about I think it is in Washington state that has resevoirs and hydro generators.  They can pay well for electricity put back into the grid because it is essentially more water in their resevoir which they use to play the peak market as much as they can.  This will make other places expect the same treatment with any surpllus solar they might have during sunny times.  Last sentence my reasoning.

I was in Northwestern Ohio pretty close to indiana and saw lots of towers with wind turbines.  I tried to find out what it was on the intenet.  Best I can describe here is that they found a buyer for the electricity, it was an university and the amount they paid was to me shockingly small.  Quite likely that contract has ran out and they may will sell it somewhere else now.

How to get the dc from solar panels up to the high voltage lines on the poles along the road and get it in phase seems pretty hard to envision.  No one need try it is an electric motorcycle forum.

Edit:  In Ct say it costs $15 to be connected and have your meter read once a month.  Residential, overhead wires and transformers for each residence or a few residences per transformer for what difference that makes.  All other lines on the bill have a per kwh decimal fee, including the ones I am calling wealth redistribution.  Hope I am not in error not looking at a bill now.  There may and probably are ways if you are low income to have your bill somewhat different.

Double edit"  Gee Richard do you mean there isn't a seperate distribution charge and transmission charge like in Ct?  I am not like Don who keeps telling of all his houses and travels, but I do have a few meters fed by the Willow Island coal plant and now there is a low head hydro on the Ohio river, and it costs $6 a month to be hooked up and 11 cents per kwh.  Admittedly I have right of ways and poles with two wires the hot being the top one as the wires don't always follow the road.  Probably the ash dump is subsidized somehow.

I get no hits when putting arig electric motorcycle in search


300V motor and controller, the motor delivers 25kW of rated power    sounds good


 a electric motorcycle shared/public project.   sounds suspicious       electric begins with a voul so use an?

15kW battery,   sounds heavy but depending on the size and tires may be appropriate.

direct drive or reduction gear?  Hopefully not hub motor.

Are you copy and pasting this elsewhere?
