There’s all kinds of red flags that Donut put out, but I disagree that motorcycles were one of them. There were plenty of people like me watching it that thought electric motorcycles were a brilliant first use of the supposed tech breakthrough -semi trucks would be an excellent choice too - and took that as a green flag. It’s really not as random as you think.

Cars got electrified, nobody in 2026 looks at the EV industries success and thinks “what a bad idea”, and plenty of motorcycle companies are like, “we could do that too” but then look into the physics and realize they could only do it badly. The first ones to market that do it well when new battery tech comes out will make a fortune, so it didn’t surprise me in the least that if a magical battery with all the pros and non of the cons got released someone would make electric motorcycles with it on day 1.

That being said, if you live in the west and drive an SUV and your view is that they are dangerous toys for teens and criminals then ya I get why you think it’s equivalent to cold fusion being used in a fridge. The rest of the world, esp Asia leverages motorcycles and scooters like primary transportation devices and they sell like hotcakes.
