It’s unsuitable for highway use because car drivers are prone to murderous tantrums when they’re stuck behind someone actually doing the speed limit.

That’s just my opinion but too many motorcyclists who disagreed aren’t alive to argue the point.

Petrol powered motorcycles are plenty of fun and available cheap. If you were really interested in some weekend riding you could make that a reality any time.

I suspect you won’t regardless of price because most people don’t get into motorcycles, probably in part because most people just about shit themselves in terror the first time an SUV tailgates them at highway speeds.

How can they be stuck behind you on a highway thats very likely have 2 lanes? And if traffic is heavy enough they cant pass... you're likely not going 80mph either. Seems really silly.

Then I invite you to commute on a route with highways on one of these for a year and share your experiences because I’ve been riding for 20 years and Im speaking from my experience.
