• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Can-Am didn't get the memo I guess - 2023 Electric Motorcycles release....

It will be interesting to see the final announcement. If the street version has enough range it would be a good commuter or weekend bike. I don't think I'd like to take one on a long tour, doesn't look comfy enough.
 
The street model looks similar to what Zero has done the past few years.

It will be interesting to see how BRP matches its competition in terms of performance and pricing.

Given they are 2-wheelers, I'm not a customer. If released in 3-wheel form, I'd be at most a "maybe" particularly if they are battery-only like the HD Livewire. A plug-in hybrid might change my mind, but I really dislike being tied to a charging station network or limited to local use.
 
My question is Are they thinking, when the batteries go bad, what are the environment impacts of them? I read it would be a 20 million $ + recycle price to get rid of the batteries. And the price to replace the battery in the cars are more then the cars are worth.
 
Fun fact

Came across an interesting statement the other day about lithium. If you gathered all of the worlds mineable supply into one giant battery and connected it to the grid it would supply energy for the planet for how long..........................any guesses before i say it?:popcorn:
 

No try again.:D


Ok its 21 minutes. So yeah we can go zero emissions, but that means for over 23 hours and 39 minutes of the day you got nothin'. Not to mention the finite 10 or 20 year life of the battery? What we're all sick of living in a cave by then and will beg science to vax us out of it, plleeeaaasse!
Now you can start to get an idea of what these climate crackpots are up to if you hadn't thought of the actual reality of it and just trusted the science.
Any company heading down this road is either broke and needs handouts or will be shortly after the grid gets turned off is my dumbass opinion.
 
Some tidbits I have heard on the news recently.

There are currently 50,000 charging stations for electrical vehicles nationwide.

California has passed a new law that says no gasoline vehicles can be sold in the state after 2035.

During the hot spell, California was making a statement NOT to charge your electric vehicle. It was putting to much stress on the electrical grid.

Kind of makes me wonder how things are going to be when everyone in the state has to charge their vehicle. :gaah:

By then, power-hungry air conditioners will have been outlawed (no, really) so there will be plenty of excess capacity with which to charge vehicles.

(telephone call to your employer)....Hello Boss, this is Joe calling.....I won’t be in to work today,.....I’m not allowed to charge my car battery. Hope they’ll let me charge it tomorrow.

Did you see in the news that California wants to ban all diesel trucks because they’re racist? I’m not making this up. Not only will you own nothing, you will not have any food or clothing.
