    That rear wheel scream “proprietary” so loud.

    It also has a claimed riding range of 217 miles (350 km).

    Can company really claim something that would never happen? 350km is riding in 20kmph speed, no one get a motorcycle to ride with a speed of bicycle all the time.

      Even worse, they achieved 310km at 20km/h. Maybe to achieve 350 km you have to push for a fraction of the trip…?

        There’s 7% left after the trip, maybe that 7% will do for another 40km? Idk. Really a head scratcher on how the company coming up with the number.

          7% of 350 is 24.5, so that doesn’t track either…

          I don’t know how they can claim 350 km and say they’ve beaten a world record at 310 with a straight face. If their range claims weren’t straight up false, surely they would just run a full tank and get 350, or even 360 in unreal conditions like this.
