Maybe the vinn diagram of Buell and Businessman barely intersect.
I think he's wise to focus on urban commuting for the emoto.
I found this on the BARF:
"The Fuell Flow electric motorcycle will come in two variants: 11 kW (14.8 hp) or 35 kW (47 hp).
Despite the founders’ racing pedigrees, the Flow electric motorcycle is designed primarily for urban applications. That’s been a common theme in many new electric motorcycle unveilings lately.
A rear hub motor is mounted in a single-sided swingarm with an off-center rear monoshock.
While the hub motor may add unsprung weight that would be less than desirable for high performance racing, its advantage in a commuter is that it frees up cargo space in the bike. The Flow should feature 50 liters (1.75 cubic feet) of cargo space. That’s huge in the motorcycle world, where space for a pair gloves or sunglasses is often considered a luxury.
Charging should also take just 30 minutes on a 20 kW public charger.
The Flow appears to lack a foot brake but also has an empty left bar where a rear hand brake would otherwise rest, meaning a single right brake lever might control the hydraulic disc brake in the front and regenerative braking in the rear.
Fuell indicates that the Flow should start at $10,995."
Actually I think the ebicycle is the better design and a better deal at $3295, if his range estimate is accurate.
I'm rolling with a Specialized Turbo Como ebike these days and love it for local errands and it cost a few hundred more.
