This! A far better summary articulation than some of my earlier efforts.

My speculation would be that current ones are programmed to behave pretty similar to existing ICE bikes so that prosective owners are familiar with the throttle/seat sensation when on board. Change needs to be managed if sales are to be made. As this thread shows, there's enough to do to get folk comfortable with the concept - no point scaring them off with more radical changes all at once.

Extra cost option for H-D surely? Presumably to be available in brown leather too!

Good grief. It looks like it's long enough to straddle 2 counties.

300 mile range? Waaay too much. I'm ready for a break after 1.5-2 hours on the bike which is anywhere from 60-100 miles. I need 2 breaks on my 200 mile tank plus a filling up stop. I could easily cope with a 150 mile range, stopping to suit me and maybe grab a 15 minute top up at each stop? Half the range would mean half the battery weight, which is a very good thing.

Don't much fancy trying to get that round some of the little roads here in Wales. Looks like it has the turning circle of a supertanker!

Yeah but think how smug you'd feel if you got it up the Bwlch-y-Groes
