| ride to work every day plenty juice left, can stop here, there.Weekly gas cost in Toyota truck $16 gas on electric $2 maybe cheaper too saves me money. The Electric is more fun than I anticipated, handles better than stock, and fun to ride. And its like riding an old Indian or Flying Merkel motorcycle, People chasing me down waving me over, just have to look at it, know more. I went to Hollister July 4 (big motorcycle meet) The Harley guys dug it. The Antique Motorcycle club lets me in their meets, won't let any gassers newer than 1965 in. the old biker gearheads dig EV's | |||||||||
