I'm looking for an EV motorcycle that can support 2 passengers. Anyone know of any?

I've read that the Sondors Metacycle can fit 2. But that's all I've found. Seating on the Zero FX is said to be tight, and other bikes seem specifically designed to cap at 1 passenger. Ex: the Johammer or the Tarform

Maybe you could fit 2 on the Land Moto District? But any owners in here know what that drops the range to?

Thanks all

I've never ridden with a passenger on anything, so I can't say with certainty how comfortable it is, but I do know that both LiveWire models can seat 2 people.

I should have been clearer. I mean 1 driver + 1 passenger

This post made me wonder: Are there any electric motorcycles with a sidecar?

Now that would be something. I'm primarily buying this for lane-splitting, so it wouldn't work for me. But I hope it exists just for its own sake.

Sondors Metacycle is no longer in production, sadly. I wanted one.

Nooooooooo. It seemed... well, not great but definitely interesting. Such a bummer

Reading more about this now... Last October it was reported that there's 500 completed Metacycles sitting in a Chinese factory. There's even a pic!

Are they still there? Because I'll go to China right now and buy one for $2500 cash.
