    Have a look through the rest of his videos. He's one very talented man. The motorbike engines he's built are bloody amazing, and look like they came out of the factory.

    Yes he is skilled but in the same way like someone good at hunting woolly mammoth. What is the practical use of such skills? Building a bike with 5 liter engine which a modern one with 50 cc would beat it in all areas? Don't get me wrong, I love motorbikes (have four of them) but what is the use for a contraption of that kind? We should make things better not worse. Isn't that why we modify our 4WD?.

    EV bike TS Bravo

    Harley has live wire. Some other wow and better out. This one seem more regular ride

    Looks pretty good as well


    Battery seem to get a similar range depending on speed to my odd car."That’s enough for 438 km (272 miles) of range at city speeds of 50 km/h (31 mph). At mixed city/highway riding averaging 80 km/h (50 mph), the TS Bravo has a reported range of 278 km (172 miles). And at faster 120 km/h (75 mph) highway blasting, the bike can still achieve an impressive 160 km (100 miles) of range."
    Why you might ask. The BMW K100 or GSX 750 or my now dead CBR all had maintenance costs significantly above the EV cost. Not suggesting the ice bikes are gas guzzlers yet think a cost saving on fuel still highly likely.
    Jakarta might be closest 'Alrendo" dealer which might make it a bit tricky

    Alrendo TS Bravo may be the low-cost electric motorcycle you're waiting on

    But ND, what about the 'Safety Factor' of a loud exhaust note?

    Land Line had A farm E.V. quiet reason a week or so ago. Personally never impressed by shotgun pipes on Harleys and similar. Those I know who have them are all DEAF or significant hearing loss from the noise they made

    I did love the whined up noise on my BMW K as well as the very comfortable seat A guy on a loud Harley sporter asked to swap with me for a while on a trip down from Sydney on the Hume once. The sod didn't stop for 200KM. My butt was vibrating for hours and my ears ringing for days. Never ridden one again and NEVER every swapped from my very good cruiser to a rattling noise machine of any type.

    I like my hearing

    I watched this series about Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman riding prototype electric Harley Davidsons north from the southern tip of South America. They also used Rivian's as support vehicles. It was Apple TV and I only watched it because I had a free subscription that was about to run out but it was very very interesting how they manage many aspects of the EV's, and some of the scenery, people and places were fantastic.

    I do love the distinctive sound of a Duke, but I am biased!
