  • I’m talking about Canada actually. Most Zero models have up to ~100 miles in mixed usage riding which is city driving from 40-80km/h in short bursts with occasional bouts of highway at 100km/h. Real life usage always has much less range.

    Since commuting on a bike is only feasible for most of North America for only a few months per year, motorcycles in North America are joyride vehicles. Also just for your information, there are many models of motorcycle made by Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, etc. None of them are Harley so I don’t understand what your point is about a low range Harley. Perhaps you misread my comment.

    There’s no valid argument in your case. I love EVs. I love my electric dirtbike. I wanted to get an electric motorcycle. The reality is that range and gearing make electric motorcycles unfeasible for the overwhelming majority of North American use cases. Try and be less snarky when arguing about things you have no direct life experience with.



  • I would reread the comment you’re replying to. No one is claiming to sit on a bike for 4 hours straight.

    Many motorcyclists use their bikes for road trips and joyrides. It’s very common to ride for 1.5-2.5 hours non stop between breaks to stretch ones legs.

    Road trips are out of the question on an electric motorcycle even if you have a bike that supports fast charging and you live in an area with many fast chargers. With an electric car, you can chill inside a climate controlled cabin while it takes 20ish minutes to charge. There is no such luxury on a bike. Sustained highway speeds drain the battery as there is no gearing. You would need to stop for a 20-30 minute recharge every hour, which is not feasible.

    Also if you’re travelling over 60km/h, wind noise drowns out engine noise. And engine noise on modern motorcycles is very quiet. You might be imagining Harley Davidson bikes with the exhaust baffles drilled out and then applying that to all motorcycles.





  • Yay!!! I got my license last summer. The clutch is the hardest part. The course bikes all have terrible and abused clutches so they’ll be even harder to use than your motorcycle you eventually buy.

    At a certain point, it’s just going to click for you and you’ll rarely stall again. Keep at it! And remember to point your chin where you want to go. Your bike will go with you. You got this!

    No don’t do this. Own it. It’s cool and normal to buy dinosaur toys in your mid to late thirties and beyond. It’s excellent to buy those little sponge capsules that expand in the bath. Nothing is more sensual than a candle-lit bath with a fresh pack of expandable bath dinos. I’m willing to cage fight someone over this.










  • The long fruiting bodies that just abort are because it’s starving for oxygen. Remove them from the glass jars and put them in a box that’s kept humid (like a plastic container). Look up “shotgun fruiting chamber”. Or you can crumble your entire cake into a bin with some coco coir (contamination resistant) and the mycelium will spread and quickly start forming hyphal nodes and then fruit properly.

    You got this!


  • It’s crazy. I was in the hospital as a teen so I’m forever banned from ever obtaining a PAL for target sport but paranoid people who think you can obtain a gun for self defense in Canada can roam around freely fantasizing about using it against other people 🙃
