    One of the manufacturers(Black Tea motorcycles) that looks promising for my next Bike keeps upping the range ever so slightly while they improve performance and get better batteries from China. Currently 250km.

    Unfortunately my country cancelled some stimulus money for buyers and for the biggest range packet and fast charging installed on the bike it cost 12k EUR.

    At the moment my next bike will probably a repairfriendly used ICE sport-touring motorcycle for 6k EUR. Can’t wait till the prices adjust(economies of scale) or used E-motorcycles pop up on the market.
