WTF!
Super bad choice for a bike. Much higher proportion of DIYers in the community. I predict huge backlash as word gets out. Dіck move.

Yeah, like wtf. Energica, another popular electric
bike, doesn’t pull that shit. I was kinda interested especially since we talked with Zero about potentially supplying us with power trains but now I’m not even remotely interested over that. One of the largest motorcycle YouTube channels posted a video about it yesterday. How I found out.

I'm just super happy we have the internet. Shady players can't hide anymore. Not for very long, at least.

Is that a home brew conversion or store bought like the Everatti?
