Still a bit expensive, but they'll come down in time. The electrics work pretty well with the bikes because there's so much less weight. I'd take the dual sport.

Those seem dangerous no noise and slow I would not want one.

Not so slow, especially off the line. Yes. Silent, but motorcyclists overestimate how other people can hear them anyway. The ONLY I hear coming from behind are the very loud Harleys or High Strung sport bikes winding out. Most bikes aren't loud enough to hear over traffic noise, especially on a freeway coming from behind. And I have exceptional hearing and I listen for them on purpose.

My enduro was fucking loud, and every bike should be. However for that money you can buy the most badass dual sport aprillia and still have coin left over. And it will still be slower, have limited range and lack the torque you need with an enduro. I miss my xr600

Electric motors develop max torque at zero rpm then drops as the rpm rises.

I would think about it once I get a solar roof installed and like 3 extra batteries so it can charge while I ride. That way it doesn't take 8 hours to charge. But like guy said, I'll take a true dual sport, probably have to say husky 510 myself.
