The AI doing the narrative needs additional tweaking. This is a "tech" site so you would expect the narrator to be able to pronounce a famous motorcycle OEM like Ducati. I couldn't watch it anymore after it started saying "Duck-a-dee" over and over again. Anyone who rides knows it's pronounced "Do-ka-tee" not "Duck-a-dee."
I know, right?! I was digging all the sweet looking e-bikes but I couldn't believe how no one involved with creating or uploading this video could miss such a badly mispronounced word like "Ducati"! 😏
How does Energica not make this list? They have 4 models you can buy TODAY... you can not purchase a single bike on this list and be guaranteed it will be in your garage by summer. Big promises from small startup companies, im suprised damon didnt make the list, their bike had been "coming soon" for a long time...Even the livewire one didn't make the list and you have been able to buy one for over 2 years.
Based on which matrix are these the best electric bikes of 2023? To me it's just a random list of some bikes either just launched or about to be launched (although Ox Patagonia (or any motorcycle from Ox for that matter) has never been tested 'in the wild' by an independent journalist, so how can you know it's gonna be any good?)... and if the Pan-Am is any good whatsoever is pure speculation, it might be overpriced and crap?! Zero DSR.X might be a good bike, but their customer service is really bad, so in my opinion you should also take that into account etc etc.... (in other words, give feedback on HOW you came to this list?)
We need an electric motorcycle equivalent in the range of 400cc to 500cc, top 50 HP, about $7,000 for commuting purposes only. No one needs a 1,000cc 200 HP electric equivalent motorcycle, $50,000 for commuting purposes only. I ride a Honda CB500F 47 HP for commuting to work and this motorcycle tops 100 ~ 115 MPH in no time when needed.
Behold the progress, and this progress will forever mark rock and roll soul. The pain of my generation. Friends, perhaps we had to live in the best time, after all, we are at the crossroads between the new era and Kosnervatism.
1. great list 2. please get a new narrator.. you can find many people on fiver and not cheaping out on a narrator its key, i like to listen rather than watch stock footage
Being a BEV doesn't mean it is environmentally friendly, if the charge to the battery comes from for example a coal plant. I assume over 90% of energy used by BEVs is more polluting than gasoline.
When getting someone to do a voice over on a video, the person should “know” the subject, namely: the brand names of motorcycles. Ducati pronounced Do ka tee. Not Duck a tey. That’s just one. Listen, if you don’t “know” what you’re talking about, better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. FYI.
Who are the getting to read this translation into English? Duckatti - is that some kind of new brand? What the dude? Lol!!!!!!!!! Look it's Duckatti - you mean Ducatti? No it's pronounced Duckatti!!!!!!!
Just watched thermal runaway on one of these… toasted…. first or second ride. These lithium batteries are nice fire starters when used by motorcycle riders.
The big lie ! Electric anything must be charged by burning coal, fuel or something . And then there is the waist of the battery’s when they go bad and they will .
worthless list... take the Triumph TE-1 as an example. Best E-bike 2023 my a*s. it is a prototype for testing that won't ever be availiable on the open market.
These EVs need new laws and safety features added. One of it is the lack of noise. It's damn dangerous coz some will swerve into your path as it happened to me many times. Unless you yodel loud all the way. Perhaps they can fit-in with false exhaust sound like in those found on sports cars.
