Yeah, that’s brutal. Which is weird, because the FXS that this is clearly built on didn’t have this problem. Why change something just to make it worse?

As do I, but to expect a motorbike to compete on price with a scooter-in-drag isn’t really fair, is their point.

...But that’s literally the mathematical equivalent? Making gas horsepower, and electric kilowatts is complicating thing to literally no benefit.

I’m not really sure what they’re going for. The racing is already uncompetitive (Gaps start early, and increase lap over lap), so that’s not the concern. The bikes are already full race bikes not actual OEM machines, so that’s not the concern. And it’s currently tiny yet will suffer from “too much of the same” if it…

Oh, but I agree. I think BMW has massively overestimated how many people would be willing to consider the price on this, especially considering it isn’t good at the one thing people look at this class of scooter for.

There is a way, but it’s stupidly convoluted, and I only figured it out by trying to reply to a commenter stuck in the greys:

Yep. Marketwise, I have quite literally never seen a LiveWire on the road here, whereas I see a Zero at least once a week or so. I expect now that the valuation makes more sense, we’ll see those numbers close the gap quite a bit.

Indeed they have. My hope is that they do eventually put a supercharger on them so we can get rid of the oil mix entirely, in addition to getting a ridiculously wide torque band. Now that would be amazing.

Oh for sure, I’m not saying people shouldn’t like two strokes, I’m just saying I’m definitely not one of them.

I need to correct one of the three, I wrote Cesium, but it’s Cerium. And as mentioned, they’re used in the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries that most hybrids use. As for the metals:

I’m confused, is that song supposed to be a positive statement for this? Besides that, I can safely say I’ve never once had to listen to it - I can safely ignore it no problem. Unless I’m a terrible driver, I’m going to have eyes on this attention-whore of a minivan though, no matter what. Then there’s also the further…

I’m not a yank. I don’t value your first amendment (Or any of your amendments) in any capacity.

Totally fine with getting rid of that nonsense too, for the record. I’m not saying “only one side should compromise”.

I’m referring to using an amendment as a defense to be as stupid as possible, which is something commonly done with both your first and second amendments.

I’m not sure this stands a particularly great example of the First Amendment then, if the first instinct people have with it is to be as stupid as possible.
Also see: Second Amendment.

Mixed means some people still enjoyed it.

...Am I supposed to side with the minivan lady? Because I don’t. She sounds like she wants to be offensive for the exclusive intent of being offensive. Society won’t lose anything here.

They are more efficient, but they’re also a dramatically larger problem (At almost double the environmental of all transportation combined, and more than triple passenger vehicles and small trucks), hence why I suggest focusing on the easy, obvious wins that will still need to happen anyways for electric cars to make…

It’s not nickel I’m referring to, it’s Cesium, Lanthanum and Neodymium.

Cool, there’s already options for them. Just continue to exercise those options.
