It's still a problem today, 2025. I think the LiveWire S2 models come closest, but they still have anemic range. (And we're ignoring cost, which is also much higher.)

Problem implies “it’s not happening”.
Cost is a challenge.
These things go 175 miles, up to 450+ miles if you have money.
I mean, sales are largely "not happening." Livewire sells ~600 bikes a year. Buyers have the same objections I do.

Only the heaviest models, ridden extremely conservatively.

Buyers don’t know they exist, if they’ll struggle to register them, or how to work on them!
The heaviest ones seem like the same weight as a 600cc or 1000cc crotch rocket - am I missing something big?
