I think the impending death of ICE bikes is still quite a ways off. Currently, the only options are very pricey and limited to around 100 miles or so of mixed driving. One of my regular rides runs 400-600 miles, no way I could do that with an electric bike. I can't even do a round trip ride from my house in San Jose to San Francisco without a charge.I'm not too hung up with the move to electric with cars / trucks (the 0-60 is amazing), but the end of ICE motorcycles such as the V-twin Ducatis, V-4 Aprilias, or an in-line four cross-fire Yamaha with a good pipe is a bit sad for me. And, replacing the whole clutch, brake, throttle routine with the push of a button makes it hard for me to be excited about riding an electric motorcycle. But, I recognize it is time to move on. Besides, I'm getting too old to keep up with those bike's performance anyway. ?
With our R1T and our M3LR, we're *almost* gas free at this moment in time, but for the foreseeable future, my Bonnie T100 is going nowhere.
