Ls-218 is interesting but pricey. If you have ever driven a tesla you will know what instant torque is; That is what I like about my current 1441 cc motor.

I have about 115ft /lbs , torque rules not hp sorry.

As most have stated, when it weighs less, can go at least 350 km at super speeds I may look at one, otherwise....

@morrisey , you summed it up pretty well. These have a future, the question remains when the future becomes today.

Even if the recharge time stays at 90min, attach a decent restaurant to the charging station and presto, you've just made an electric motorcycle ride destination. Take a 250km ride to the restaurant, recharge the bike while enjoying a great meal, spend some time shooting the breeze with other electric riders and then head home. 500km ride and a meal. Sounds like most of my day rides!

Exactly! That's exactly what my longer rides entail... I scope out a place to eat that includes charging in the area. More places need to realise the potential of this, especially given at this point many EV owners presumably have more disposable income if we're willing to drop the cash for these things.

Also, I may be wrong, but I believe most of, if not all of the torque is available pretty much off idle. It is with most electric motors so if that's true this would be a pretty exciting bike to ride.

You're bang on with the instant torque from idle, it's one of the things I love about mine. As Lemmy put it, more smiles per miles.

The instant torque is a characteristic of electric motors, not just EVs (two or four wheeled).

This article explains the difference in how torque is produced by an ICE vs an electric motor. But, the one image of an electric motor torque curve is very telling.
