I mean, sales are largely "not happening." Livewire sells ~600 bikes a year. Buyers have the same objections I do.

Only the heaviest models, ridden extremely conservatively.

Buyers don’t know they exist, if they’ll struggle to register them, or how to work on them!

The heaviest ones seem like the same weight as a 600cc or 1000cc crotch rocket - am I missing something big?

Buyers are aware they exist and registration isn't a problem. Ability to repair is another big problem / question mark.

Livewire One is 560 lb! Energica Ego was 570! 600s and liter bikes aren't anywhere close to that -- low 400s lb for 600s, and 430-440 lb for a liter bike.
