Our firm has done business with a number of companies that source from China and they will all tell you that you better either have your own plant, or a full-time quality control team on site if using third party. Whatever specs and formulations you agree to go out the window as soon as the door closes behind you if…

Any surveyor worth a damn knows not to route over a clutch of dragon eggs. Big mistake.

For some clarification, this didn’t happen just because they let the main high voltage battery get to 0%, but because the 12V had died.

Ah, never had to open and jump start a dead Porsche I see. Go look up that procedure, it’s not EV’s making everything more complicated. ICE cars have their share of complications

Same with Tesla, just call roadside assistance, someone will do all this for you and charge you to 20% with a generator

As opposed to what, walking 2 miles with a jerry can ?

May I ask you how long you have been riding motorcycle ? If you think that 85hp is all what you would ever want, I may say you might not have rode enough motorcycle or for long enough. I am not talking 215hp race bikes which are not very usable unless your are on track but 85hp is not plenty in my book, specially on…

From the description I’d say that the DSR/X is more of a “Upright road bike”.

I really want to get behind this but I bought an ADV bike recently and it weighs roughly the same, has roughly the same horsepower, and cost 10k. Of course it doesn’t have the torque and it isn’t as well balanced but it will go 250+ miles between fill-ups and is hands down the most comfortable bike I’ve owned in 30+…

It really baffles me why Zero didn’t bother to develop some fast charging? I understand it would mean to develop some new BCU hardware to fast-charge a battery so small, but c’mon...

That massive range drop at highway speeds is a powerful lesson in aerodynamics.  As you observed this is best suited for urban use so restyling like the old BMW F650CS with Super Motard style tires and suspension for $5000 less would be a winner

Wow, this current generation has it bad.

The majority were sold in GT Silver Metallic, but I’ve seen plenty in Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Orancio Borealis.

They look surprisingly good in white.

I doubt the lack of commerce with the United States is the cause of their ills what about the other Latin Amercan countries and China who would happily trade with them if Cuba had something to offer.

Yes, Cuba is high on my list for places to go for any sort of involved surgery. The best doctors and medical tech are all in Cuba!

Cuba = Communist with a big ‘C’ in that it is one-party rule where said party is the source of all governmental, professional, and social activity. Like China, you want to get ahead, you must be in the party. Not in the party means you are nothing/marginalized. Oppose the party and find yourself at best in prison. In…

Another communist success story.

The people that stuck them there don’t know that other countries exist.

This past weekend I was driving NB on IL Rt. 47 in Elburn, IL and drove past “Main Street Road” and I struggled to wrap my head around it.

The road i live on is called XxxX Trail.  I'm guessing it used to be a hiking trail, based on the topography and landscape.
