That makes more sense to me, as I'd be surprised if a bike going highway speeds would be hugely more efficient than my Nissan Leaf (knowing how bad m/cycle aero is), and it does approx 16kwh/100km at a proper 100km/h. So wouldn't expect 350km from a 20kWh battery to be plausible at 100km/h

It would be really nice to know the weight, it stands out that they don't mention any figures for that.
Should also point out that there are very few ICE sports bikes that get 350km range; very few bikes at all that get 600km.

As an (ex) mechanical engineer, this video hit the nail on the head about that.

"for space safety"
Lol, they're doing this in their own interests aren't they?
One of Anton Petrov's latest videos (admittedly, probably not the paragon of science) pointed out that Kessler syndrome is a lot closer than many people previously thought.

Saying "Do something", like literally millions of other people, is not "enabling fascists", as was claimed.
He expresses disdain for the actions so far of the Dems, but that doesn't stop anyone from doing anything.

Not being in the US means that my opinion is more objective.
Being in the US means that your opinion is more biased, and therefore worth less.
Do you think Venezuleans get an opinion? Would you let them even have that?
