    Very True, vehicle weight also has a direct relationship with how much wear and tear they cause.

    People buy much bigger batteries than they actually need anyway.

      I’m in the UK, could you have a word with our Gov pls? They’ve just announced that my 90kg electric vespa will cost 3p/mile the same as my friends 2500kg BMW iX :(

          Probably running them as taxis for that sweet sweet free charging zone! :)

          I have to apologise to the Gov, either they’ve changed their mind, clarified or it was just vicious rumour but it appears electric motorbikes won’t incur the per mile charge… woo hoo
