Well said and my sentiments exactly, thank you.
It isn't that awesome batteries wouldn't be great for electric bikes, it is that they'd be so great and game-changing for so many much bigger things too that it is hard to imagine a technological breakthrough on batteries that many markets are dying for, including massive ones way bigger than bikes, to come from some upstart motorcycle company when literal 1st-world nations have been working on it for ages makes me skeptical. Brilliant heavily-funded labs around the world could not figure it out, but these guys do? Possible, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
