I will pass that on

Too many people have opinions with nothing to back them up. I thought it would be nice for you all to hear from a real EV owner

Agreed!!!!

Yes, the zap map does tell you if it is out of order and when I was last used or currently being used. I don't know how accurate it is.

Oh yes, I ride as often as I can

@@bikerstuff2 I would have expected nothing less!

I don't know about the temperature, but my bit of the UK ranges between 0 and 25, so it never gets really cold or really hot. The battery has a 5 year guarantee and I would suspect it is a big part of the price of the bike

Gary looked it up. A new battery is £7,799.99 plus fitting. Marc from Marc Travels channel had his replaced.

@@bikerstuff2 In my view It just does not make sense a battery motorcycle. No matter what the warranty is bike batteries will degrade over time like mobile phone batteries. On an older Mercedes Hybrid it is more expensive to replace the battery than the value of the car. The problem is you cannot just drive it and forget the battery, the petrol engine does not function without a functioning battery. All to do with maintaining emissions.

You need to buy a flywheel puller. Watch my video 'Kawasaki KM90, engine disassembly 2 Part 9'

The drag required to charge the battery required more power than it produces

I love my 400 too much

If you watch Marc Travels, he takes his charge cable around the world with him. It is just an adaptor that plugs into a regular mains socket. He also has a type 2 cable for use at untethered ev stations

I hope you enjoyed this

@@bikerstuff2 I enjoyed it very much, thank you. I have never considered the charging aspect and charger types. Also didn't realise they were that FAST!

Nice interview, and great info. Perhaps Gary could give some overhaul tips along with you Dana when you are working on the bikes together. Love the channel.

Thank you. I only have one camera

He says, they are interchangeable.

@@bikerstuff2 that’s very considerate of the design team, I’m impressed. Do they have LED lighting as well ? 😘

Yes, I believe so.

@@bikerstuff2 that’s great, less draw on the alternator….don’t forget to remove the ignition key when settling down 😍

Gary here, no one really wants to see me. This is Dana's channel.

@@bikerstuff2 Guests are welcome. You have lots of knowledge to share also.

You interact well with each other

Gary did a video on taking off auxiliary power. He also rode it from the Jamaica Inn that I narrated. Look through my back catalogue.

Most dealers have ex demo bikes at really good prices, so that might be the way to get one at a massive discount

More money than you can imagine 😉

You don't need a charging point at home, as you put it, just plug the bike into any 3 pin mains socket. Watch Marc Travels to see the lead he uses when he charges at his overnight accommodation.

@@bikerstuff2 Correct me if I am wrong, but does it not take a lot longer to charge if you use a 3 pin ?.

Yes. Do it overnight, it is so cheap to charge at home. We worked out a full 14kw charge cost us £2.30

@@bikerstuff2 That does make sense. For a biker who has enough charge to go to their destination and back, subject to battery degradation over time, and the cost of the bike, I believe it works. However, for longer journeys. Take your husband for instance, 4 stops at 20 minutes a time. Say your time is worth £50.00 per hour. then 4 coffees that is around £70.00 plus the cost of charging. It may not cost a lot to charge at home but the ancillary costs and time in my view just do not make it viable. A DSR zero is £17,000, it is just not viable, an expensive toy. Then you think about when you come to sell it. Any normal bike anyone can own it. What seems to be forgotten is there are so many people who live in flats, terraced homes etc who just do not have access to charging or even the facility to plug the bike into the mains. If I still commuted to work I would seriously look at the NIU MQi GT ER 125cc Electric Moped. About the same cost as a Forza 125 which I used to have for commuting. Enough range and not expensive. However, the same applies, when it comes to selling you do not have as wide a market as with a petrol bike. I sold my Honda Forza 125 for top money within 2 days of advertising.

That's why it was filmed indoors

It's a choice and you've made yours, then written it for all to see

It was the way it happened

Not much happening there

I post every day, mostly

@Biker Stuff 2 I'll follow you anywhere do you still make adult videos???

You clearly don't follow me on OF. The link is on my twitter profile.
