Is the "125 cc" electric motorcycle the answer?

The smaller battery pack, lower power output, and lighter construction also help keep costs under control. LiveWire says the S4 Honcho will start at just $4,999, a figure helped by the bike’s modest size and the company’s manufacturing partnership with KYMCO in Taiwan.

@Zygos i had a “125cc equivalent” electric motorcycle for a bit. This one looks like it has a bigger battery pack, which may solve the range issue I had. my csc city slicker could rarely exceed 25 miles of range with normal riding. It had a slow charger so it was an 8 hour recharge. They made the battery easy to pick up out of the bike and bring into an apartment, so it might be just right for certain people, but it wasn’t right for me

@Zygos It was a grom clone sorta shape. CSC appears to have quit selling electric stuff these days, but at one point they also had an electric super cub clone that seems pretty great
