Here is the video of an interview w/ Ben Rich & Terry Hershner about long range journeys on electric motorcycles, the challenges, and the future of long range riding.  Feel free to post further questions, discussion here or on facebook.

Enjoy!

@32:15 what is Terry talking about "forebrake" ?  4-brake?    "Get a bike. I recommend the (four brake?) which is another thirteen point oh... and use it!"

Great pub piece and gives a good "feel" for the state-of-the-art in "Real, Actual electric motorbikes that you can go to a store and buy one today and actually have, for real." But really what was Terry saying?  Best guess here is he was saying ... four-bank?  like four battery bank?   I think.    It was a really key moment where I'm interested in what Terry is recommending and I don't even know what he's talking about, oops.

Each "Brick" is a battery unit, slightly larger than a shoebox.  Each of the FX batteries is basically a brick.  You can buy a 3-brick Zero S/DS/SR/DSR with a 9kWh battery or a 4 brick Zero S/DS/SR/DSR with a 13kwh battery.
