This could be huge for vehicle design as a whole.
I’ll belive it when a lab has verified the batteries are actually solid state. The CEO appears to be a grifter and they had no battery prototypes on hand at CES? Smells awfully like a scam.
Sick
But do they make loud wroom wroom noises? If not half of motorcyclists will not be interested.
But there is something in that to be fair, it is a lifestyle, culture and hobby. I thought the livewire looked cool but I would say its novelty, I wouod find it difficult to see them as equals.
I’ll sell an add on speaker. Loud pipes save lives.
That would be nice. People could turn them off at 2AM when there’s no one else on the roads. But I’m sure they wouldn’t.
Doesn’t need both fast charging and huge range. Knock $10k off the price for half the range is a much more appealing product. Battery tech in a much lighter sub 2000w ebike/powerstation is a much bigger win, as this is still 600lbs afaiu.
Sounds good. Does it actually work in real world? Why can’t they make wheels the same?
Arwe there any non-“solid state” battery for motorcycles? What is the generation principle?
In the context of lithium-ion batteries, “solid state” means that there’s no liquid electrolyte, rather than meaning there are no moving parts.

I think their naming leaves a lot to be desired :)
