IF (huge if) their claims hold water and the tech is actually reliable long term (which probably means waiting for a bike that does not use a weird gadgety spokeless carbon hub wheel that is presumably going to cost as much as a regular bike to replace if you hit a pothole), then price aside it sounds perfectly capable of making any commute round-trip, unlike the Zero which has a relatively small range which gets way worse in winter (allegedly solid-state batteries are barely affected by temperature).
Just plug it in when you get home and voilà; charging at work is a bandaid solution.
ofc only people with more money than sense will drop 30 grand into a bike using unproven tech from an unknown company, but if their shit actually works then it hails the future of actually viable and affordable(ish) electric touring motorcycles that aren't just gimmicks a few years from now.
Sure, one can hope.
In my case, the distance I needed to commute daily at the time was farther than level 1 charging could handle to even get me back home once I arrived at the site. I'd have to stop about 3/4 of the way back home every day, as I don't have a car.
