Well if you could charge at the office that’s doable.Chalky723 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 24, 2019 9:56 am I'd need more range - my daily commute is 120 miles. Plus, in the winter I have Heated Grips & jacket on (sometimes trousers too) - so it'd have to cope with that too. And a fairing would be required....
Interesting to see how they're coming along though.

They will also charge from a 240v 3 pin socket so if your stuck for a fast charger you could just use an extension lead look at it like this 120 miles at 60mpg is 560 miles a week. At approx £5.5 a gallon you using about £52 a week or £208 quid a month, if you can charge at work that’s 208 pounds you won’t spend, a top up at home may cost £1-2 of electricity.
With a £65 annual service charge and the only fluids are brake fluid the costs are low. There you’ll find payback of the bike maybe somewhere around 3 yrs then your probably saving £200/ month after 3 years.
Also assume in 5-10 years there are emission zones everywhere and traffic has only gotten worse.
Anyway this is my argument at the moment and plus it was very fun to ride
