One additional thought for you Parker. The thing that I like best about this machine is that is shines this time of year as the cold weather abates. My ICE motorcycle still has the starting battery removed and stored. It takes about 30 minutes to fire the ICE up after it has been sitting for longer than 30 days. After a long sit the starting procedure is to hook up the battery charger, turn the petcock to bypass the dried out carburetors and crank over for a very long period (perhaps several times over 15 minutes) until the bike starts. The starting procedure for the EV after a long sit. 1) Switch on pack power 2) Switch on accessory power 3) Turn the right wrist to go fast. Elapsed time 3 seconds makes the EV Ninja my choice for grab and go situations. When I think about my short trips over last weekend, this is a huge benefit.
