Default What I said.

I tried to tell you guys here that people I know with this toy were getting great mileage but some fuktard here said it wasn't possible and I was lying.
Custom programes with the learning PC onboard will get you there.

Reports I have read and videos I have whatched where the :Livewire goes head to head against the Zero and Energica it beats them. Harley has understated the range and power of their bike and Zero overstates the range of their bike.

But I will say this a video of a bikes speedometer is no proof of top speed. Bike speedometers are notorious for having error in them. I would have liked to see a video of a cell phone GPS tracking a speed or a calibrated radar gun.

Yep Harley understated their range and Zero overstates theirs.

That's the problem with all the naysayers talking crap based on specs before the bike even comes out.
