I don't understand why he calls it a 1300cc bike.

Yeah I was wondering that too. I’d think that would be blasphemous for someone super into electric bikes.

It has 200hp and 168ft/lbs, I think he's comparing it to an equivalent ICE displacement.

Well with how much bike (and car) manufacturers like to play around with that kind of thing, it wouldn't be that surprising if e.g. KTM were to release an electic bike called [something]90. In fact, it's almost strange that electric BMW cars don't have nonsensical names that refer to engine displacements. I guess the drive to give electric vehicles names that clearly stand out wins.

I’m gonna say since this is seeming more and more like this dude has problems that he isn’t getting help with, and he’s looking like he might be CA’s version of Ulilillia, it’s probably best no one eggs him on. Report on it, sure.

It was an unfulfilling livestream. You can view the whole thing here: https://www.facebook.com/EVRLLC/videos/264900811709745/

I did glean one super important thing, though. This $38,000 bike does not offer DC fast charging. Which is a promised spec. If he's got the full-sized battery pack he was promised, and I'm not holding my breath, that's over 3 hours downtime for a charge as opposed to the advertised 1 hour.

He seemed averse to pointing the camera behind the front wheel and showing what's under the fairings? Because you've talked about exposed batteries

Oh I've already seen the batteries on that bike. Totally exposed. I only had a chance to look at the left side of the bike up close before Hatfield wheeled it away and I've been kicking myself for not looking at the right side charge port ever since. It was a huge relief he showed that.

How long would you be able to ride fast on that three hour change? I mean, I know it's like ten minutes before the bike has some kind of flaming disaster but I mean theoretically.

Fast like track, fast like highway, or fast like the meaningless term 'spirited'?

Assuming the battery pack was the full promised size and it didn't explode I'm gonna venture a guess at the following:

Track maybe 10 laps at Buttonwillow?

Highway around 120 miles

Spirited back roads maybe 150 miles?

The fact that he's in a constant battle off wills with reality itself is what made me think he's dutch but now it's looking more and more like mental illness.

Tbh he both types and thinks like my dutch mate used to when he was on coke.

"What if we took silicone and right like because it works in the freezer pretty great like ice cube trays
We made molds of shot glasses out of it and you could make ice shot glasses
It'll make us millions for sure. You figure out how to mass produce
The molds and I'll start talking to distributors"

"Dude they already have those".

"Ok ok sure but ours will be premium
In fancy colours and shapes and stuff way better than
The ones they have we could easily do this".
