Reminder that motorcycles get 50-150 mpg.
I saw someone watching tiktok while driving yesterday. People regularly don't see me, and I'm in a bright fuckin yellow 5000lb tank. Only way I'm riding a motorcycle is if everyone else has to ride one too.
But can't carry much. 4 people in a hybrid use far less fuel.
Skill issue. I've seen washing machine+dryer+refrigerator on the back of a 125cc quite a few times, and I'm comfortable riding at highway speeds with 2 checked-bag size suitcases in my side racks and a backpack and carry-on suitcase behind me.
4 people on 1 bike uses less fuel than 4 people in a hybrid, its extremely common here in SEA.
But if most of your trips involve transporting 2 or more passengers, then bikes aren't so attractive.
This is the kind of unhinged that sits right on the border between obviously a joke and "this guy might be exactly that crazy"
I've been meaning to get my class M and buy a EV bike, guess I'm scheduling classes today probably
My Kia Rio gets 43 mpg on average, and I'm feeling the pain on gas prices. Definitely gonna want to find a motorcycle closer to 150 than 50.
You're probably looking at a 125cc that takes 20 seconds to get up to highway speeds.
