Well, not anymore! hhuahua.
Nice video, but I personally don't like electric bikes... ruines the whole motorcycle idea in my opinion.

You would think so, but after this i can disagree. You are driving a motorcycle, every bit feels and acts like a motorcycle.
Price and radius are the biggest downsides at this moment, but i can see myself driving one of those somewhere between now and 2030.

Very quiet. What is the acceleration like?

The RS can go from 0-100km/h in 3.3 secs.

In real, pulling up from 0 takes a bit longer then a normal bike, because the engine needs to start up.
You can get around that by giving a little bit of gas, you can hear the engine then and feel the motorcycle that wants to go, that gives you full power when the light is green.

Acceleration when driving is instant and fast. No shifting, so full power from the start and it goes.
I think it could beat my Honda 600 in a drag race, just by the fact that you don't have to shift.
