This stood out to me-- a hydrogen-powered model is also in development

Horsepower ratings on electric vehicles are misleading. That's 14 hp and peak torque at zero RPM. No waiting for the engine to spool up. How many bikes make 14 hp off idle?

11 kw is 15 hp. I know 15 hp doesn't seem like a lot, but remember that old 3.5 hp mini bikes can do 45 mph. A 100 hp electric bike can make about 600 ft/lbs of torque at the wheel. More than a Chrysler 426 Hemi. 11kw/15 hp is around 158 ft/lbs of torque at the wheel from 0 to 500 rpm. A Yamaha R1 makes 83.2 ft/lbs peak torque...

they def rate them weird. still, def a good looking bike.  still not interested though, i don't care how fast they are, they just don't really do it for me for no good reason aside from visceral riding experience preferences.
