Anyone have a non-video summary/article?

[–] rumba@piefed.zip 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pulled the CC data from downsub, asked AI to summarize, then reviewed the CC to make sure it was accurate.

It's mostly fluff centered around data about a couple of new packs and claimed ranges.

20 kWh Pack

  • Range: 350 km
  • Charging power: Up to 100 kW
  • Adds 200 km of range in 10 minutes

30 kWh Solid‑State Pack

  • Range: 600 km on a single charge
  • Charging power: Up to 200 kW
  • Adds 300 km of range in under 10 minutes

Claims to be largest motorcycle battery of its kind

SO they're decently large, can charge quickly, I'd be a bit surprised if they were getting those actual ranges in real-world scenarios.

They are also 38,000 euro for the base model bike.

That is wildly expensive for a emotercycle, but maybe not if they are legitimate solid state.

Why pay for a fast charging bike AND a huge battery. If it had a 10kwhr battery, it would get the range of most ICE bikes and charge in 4 minutes. It's just stupid.

[–] PoorYorick@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Even then, it's still wildly expensive if you compare it to other ICE motorcycles with similar specs.

If a random person could buy three bikes that would outperform it for same price as one of these, then I just don't see how the market can support it

The Indian Ultraviolette is <$5000.
