I feel you are correct in that it may not be the right bike for the job. Watching the development and eventual, often delayed, release of real product into the wild, I was always under the impression this bike was sharply motocross focused. Battery wise, it only has to last a moto. Suspension and handling wise, it is set up for a mx track. Surprised the handling/suspension differences between the ktm and SV were not mentioned. Maybe it was mentioned and I missed it, but for what you are wanting, how is the ktm? It appears to be a solid platform. Being a totally new product, it is not surprising it has some bugs. Oddly enough, I have not heard a single peep from any of the motocross channels about the charger, or throttle cutting out under full load. The throttle issue is something that is absolutely dangerous on a motocross track. Having the throttle cut out at the wrong time off a jump face could easily cause the front to rotate down causing an endo, easily resulting in serious bodily injury. Wow! This is a serious issue that never should have made it into the wild! Anyhow, yeah, I am jealous. Looks like you have a vast riding area, probably some great trails, and lots of toys to enjoy. Ride on.
Some guys have removed the charger from the box, if you do this you will find that there is an led display of sorts on the side opposite the heatsink. I believe it changes colour as the battery charges, there is a sticker around the led which is a key to the state of charge, don't know how accurate this is, hope that helps you if you have problems later with charging and need to identify if the charger is actually powered up?
Hi Ian I'm using solar assistant and when I program the inverters I am running in parallel only the first inverter changes charge source priority not the second one can you help please I'm running two u5648ms inverters
Range is one thing, but how about the throttle cutting out and forcing a reset? That would be a deal breaker in and of itself. Whats the fix for that issue?
I ride a 32 hp 350 Piaggio and I get about 62 miles per US gallon (74 mpg imperial gallon). Averaging 80km/hr but faster on the open road. No solar where I am staying in town. But lots of solar on the farm - free energy! Any suggestios for an electric motor cycle for semi-offroad use?

The E time is perfect for that
