LOL. Comparing grass and pavement is even crazier than the vape pen comparison. Hilarious.
Electric Motorcycle Forum is live!
A wise exciseman would base taxation on weight, which leaves very little room for argument.

and so everyone's EV insurance has rocketed in the last 12 months.
I assume that insurance companies are all worried about EV battery fires when charging and if they get in an accident. EV's are apparently like rolling bombs as far as insurance companies are concerned. Remember, perception of danger is much more important than reality.
I normally rate 96-98.
OMG, this is horrifying. Your car is monitoring you, measuring your performance, grading you on it, and sending the grade up to everyone who can tell you what to do. I just can't believe you or anyone would buy into that, at any cost. When enough people do, it will become standard, and that's just an Orwellian nightmare. Those numbers mean virtually NOTHING. They'll judge everyone against average, or worse, against the least common denominator of drivers. It's the same with centralized thermostat controls. The slippery slope argument actually applies here. With surveillance and speed cameras, cell phone tracking, GPS tracking, mileage and toll tracking, phasing out of cash and ID for cell phones, we're all going to be remote controlled.
This is hilarious: the throttle is the same as Energica and Zero but MV branded. From 'startup' Energica I understand that they try to manage cost and take CC controls off the shelf. From MV Augusta with all their fancy parts it's almost embarrassing. Maybe MV drivers don't use cruise control so often...
Yeah, that's a real bummer. Even premium car manufacturers use off-the-shelf-stuff (Mercedes uses Renault stuff, Aston Martin used Ford stuff, Porsche uses Skoda/VW stuff and so on).
That's how you increase profits.
