This month, electric motorcycle companies Fuell and Energica went out of business. They join a list of companies that died after poor sales

    I would absolutely love an ebike, but they are outrageously priced.

      eBike or electric motorcycle? I see them used interchangeably sometimes but I always thought eBike included pedaling and topped out at like 35kph

        Sorry I meant emotorbike, motorcycle

        Although ebycicles are also overpriced for the non crap ones

        They’re supposed to top out at 28 mph (45kph) in the US, but people sometimes make or reprogram them to go faster. I usually refer to actual motorcycles as emoto to differentiate but its sounds like they mean emoto here.

            If they could add stainless steel panels, make them rust outside, and drastically raise the price, that would be a huge step forward for a few thousand people apparently.

          Yeah I was mostly asking because it seems like emoto is ruinously expensive while bikes are a pretty wide range
