    Greenworks showed off their lineup of bikes and motorcycles just the other day, and now Ego? When is Ryobi and Dewalt going to show off their offerings?

      I mean I get WHY they cost as much as they do, but yeah, the price is a real bummer. Personally I absolutely move the LiveWire DelRay (or something like that) emotorcycle. At some point the price for these motorcycles will come down to a level that might be less than a regular gasoline motorcycle since they are technically so much more simple. Until that time comes, I am more than happy cruising around town in my ebike for a fraction of the price.

          The batteries are super expensive. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if 1/2 the price goes to pay for batteries. That means that most of these 1st gen EV motorcycles are sold at a loss (or very tight margins)

    Ego Power+ 56-volt ARC lithium batteries.

    Mow the lawn, or scoop the loop?
    Some decisions are hard.
