More electric bikes

[Potter]

Came across this today, apparently it's epic to ride, the power is instant and feels amazing, so I'm told.
But they carry the weight high up so it feels heavy, the advice was to get the naked one which feels better.

[Skub]

They look pretty sharp.

As ever,those fat bois need to work on losing a few KGs.

At least 65 to lose still!

Is that about 30k in real money?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Thats the faired version of the red naked bike I posted a few weeks back. MCN described the throttle as "flawless" IIRC.

The first solid state battery road vehicle goes on sale this year, that's a step change in battery performance. Like I said before, won't be long now until electric vehicles outperform ICE in every (measurable) aspect except recharge time.

Interesting twist that:

The newly developed HORWIN electric motor combined with the mechanical 5-speed manual transmission is probably revolutionary in this performance class. It combines pure driving pleasure combined with electric environmentally friendly drive as you only know it from conventional motorcycles.

That doesn't bode well for residuals on current EVs does it?
If there really are some step changes on the way would people be paying anything like the current amount asked for used Teslas, iPaces and the like?
Will presumably make the leasing companies task of coming up with a reasonable quote all the trickier as well?

[Mr. Dazzle]

It's gonna be complicated for sure. Heaven help anyone trying to come up with PCP estimates at the mo.

What happens the residuals on an ICE car when petrol is taxed X times more than it is now?

Edit: although I suspect that SS batteries will land in really expensive cars first, then they will come down to midly expensive ones and so on, so its not like a switch will be flipped overnight.

Dunno, you could argue its even worse for internal combustion residuals.
They'll drop faster than secondhand Masarati values.

That's not that much of a challenge really, as if you ignore recharge time use a full battery in 10 seconds and get as much power as you want. Recharge time is a pretty major stopping point.

[Mr. Dazzle]

If you have an electric car that can reliably go 500 miles on a charge and which doesn't cost a hundred grand recharge times will worry people much less.

[Mussels]

So SS batteries are safer, lighter and should be cheaper. If they manage to make a large family estate that can go 500 miles and not cost £5000 more than the ICE equivalent then my next car in a few years may be an EV.
Hopefully they won't still all be SUVs.

Hopefully they won't still all be SUVs.

The styling might be a function of packaging; possibly the SUV form give a higher floorpan so more room for batteries (keeping their weight relatively low).
