        Compared to an ice motorcycle, probably. Compared to an electric motorcycle, I don’t see how.

            Now bosch released an abs for ebikes.

        Lesser parts! As in the express lane, 15 items or less! My grocery store wouldn’t lie to me.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
