      I mean I get WHY they cost as much as they do, but yeah, the price is a real bummer. Personally I absolutely move the LiveWire DelRay (or something like that) emotorcycle. At some point the price for these motorcycles will come down to a level that might be less than a regular gasoline motorcycle since they are technically so much more simple. Until that time comes, I am more than happy cruising around town in my ebike for a fraction of the price.

        Why do they cost as much as they do? I’m pretty new to this

          The batteries are super expensive. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if 1/2 the price goes to pay for batteries. That means that most of these 1st gen EV motorcycles are sold at a loss (or very tight margins)
