For what exactly
seeing as it's about bikes, probably the noise
For riding, perfectly linear torque without a clutch is kind of boring. Charging was kinda complicated due to 2 competing charging networks and poor infrastructure, Also I'm unclear on how to get one fixed, whereas anyone in this country can fix a honda.
Maintenance is another huge benefit of EVs.
Reduced maintenance, yes. But I haven't (yet) found an independent mechanic that can work on my Bolt, so the little maintenance I need has to be done at the dealer.
I still took that deal, but it has room for improvement.
Yes, and the number of ev taxis and delivery mopeds in China tells me in the long run, it is cheaper. But I live in an ICE-centric society, if my bike is doing something funny, I can probably diagnose the problem, if not I'm probably within 100 feet of someone who can. If its not worth fixing, there's enough of a used market I can get a used one for less than 1000 USD that will carry me hundreds of km at highway speeds. We must contend with the world as it exists now.
Fortunately they need fixing way less often
