I read a lot of motorcycle reviews and this one is just an eye-roller, written by a short person who is an incompetent rider: review

Good read for a laugh. The giveaway this person is clueless is the statement, "because the vehicle literally stalls," It's ELECTRIC! It can't stall.

Its very funny considering I have done 40-60+ mile trips on roads ranging from 45-55 MPH. Everytime I check estimated mileage I still have a 38-45 miles at %50 charge. This is in eco, but I add a minimum of 260 lbs of weight plus whatever I buy from the grocery store. 8-20lbs easy. Lets not even mention the wind resistance i add by being 6'3" or I that I don't have range anxiety with a less than stellar charging infrastructure in my area. I dont even bother going to a charge station by my house unless i know I want to ride more later in the day and I'm at %50. I cant for the life of me understand how someone can be so clueless\lazy if its your job to write articles.

If any one did a 20 mile radius from their house and see just how far that is, maybe they would change their tune. Living in GA you will need a car for if any reason at all, things are far apart. If I am loosing an estimated 5-10 miles because of speed and weight there really isn't a problem for someone in a big city. Am I saving the planet, no. Did I buy this to save on gas, no. Would I buy an electric car, no. Did I buy it as an easy intro into motorcycling and having fun, yes. Would this work for everyone, of course not. That article was bad on epic proportions.
 
It seems like my whole life I’ve been a magnet for category defying products and the CE 04 is a great example. Anything that is radically different and daring, doubles down on its strengths and character, embraces what it is and admits what it’s not, becomes unique, exciting and I end up enjoying it for years and often decades. I also always notice that all such things are reviewed by the bland schadenfreude-driven masses poorly. They come in with a bias for counterpoint. They think they’re being observant by fixating on some straw man and burning it repeatedly. These products are not for them nor their audience. Ignore those “reviews”. The reviewer isn’t half as creative and visionary as the product so they’re not qualified to perform a review of it. At best they’re not reviewing from the intended audiences perspective. At worst, and more likely, they’re click baiting tool bags.
 
The reviewer says there’s nowhere to attach straps except to the handlebars. Right. Nowhere except the integrated tie downs in the front and the foot pegs in the rear exactly as stated in the manual she didn’t read because why would a reviewer understand the product they’re reviewing?
