Crazy greedy corporates.
for every 135km range, the owner has to wait 3.5 hours to charge. that is very bad. imagine, if it is being used by a food delivery guy, he has to waste 7 hours charging just to cover 270km and it is a waste of time.
Why do EV bikes always need to be ugly?
I wish my EV bike looks like the existing Honda Adv 160 or anything with similar design. Then you can take my money!
I honestly believe that modenas engineer can design a very beautiful bike. However, after the design completed, the engineer was informed that the bike is EV hence he needs to make the design ugly. Then, there we have it. A purposely ugly-made bike for EV bike.
