Agreed on the AI comment. But it did offer up the contact page link. Even though it is blank. And there is no link to it from any of the other pages so AI was the only way to find it. For anyone curious, it's Dustmoto.com/pages/contact There is no way to reach them (web form, email, phone...

AI is now belittling you. "... mix-up with another bike’s specs". It is you who are mixed up, it says. Ha. Before I posted my earlier comment this morning, I told their AI assistant that in January, I let AI knoe the wrong weight was on their site in three places and that AI had responded then...

235lb is what their website has said (in at least three places) since the beginning, despite their videos saying 220lb. When you ask the AI on their site, it responds that Hightail are 220lb and the site must be outdated. I pushed it and AI said it was going to open a ticket to let the website...

Would one not need split-phased 240v? Or does the transformer you mention have step-up transformer with a center-tapped secondary winding to make split phase 240v? If not, one would need two 120v generators, with the capability to be paired together, to produce the split phase 240v. I don't...

Verge Motorcycles had already designed their electric streetbikes using the Donut Lab hub motors, but they announced they are also now going to deliver with the Donut Lab solid state batteries. Will see how they work out in the real world, but some companies finally seem to be cracking the...

Yes, saw that AI response posted earlier. I went back and forth with their AI bot three or four times and that is what initiated them informing their website developer. But a typical website viewer will see the wrong weight (three times) and not think, "I should ask AI if that is correct". Ha...

Update: I let the Dust web developer know it says 235lb at least three places on their site and no where did I see it say 220lb/100kg.

And here.

Here is another.

Ha. Sorry guys. I totally lost my mind. I knew the Varg is 260lb. Lapse of sanity earlier. Ah well. I'll leave my mistake rather than clean it up. Ha. As for the Hightail, just scroll down the main page where it pops up the specs. Below is screen shot. So 25 pounds more for the Varg which is a...

Ha. Exactly. And, as we've all discovered with all bikes, sometime the feel is very different than what the spec sheet suggests. Cockpit feel/room can vary a lot based on orientation, not just height between seat and pegs, weight feels different depending g on center of gravity and overall...

Unfortunately, now Dust lists the Hightail weight as 235lb on the website (with only 4.4kWh battery). Varg is only 240lb with 6.5kWh on my trail-ridden MX 1.0 and 7.2kWh on new MX (with mx or enduro suspension optioned) with the same 240lb curb weight. Shorter suspension and overall height...

I wrapped a strap around, and synched, the entire setup for a week in the shop to break in/squeeze the plastic support to curve in and tuck in the bags. It lays much nicer and tighter after that and I didn't feel the need for anything permanent, like an extra strap. They n9w stay in tight even...

Maybe they meant 20% to 80% which is a common recharge span for EV and the SOC span where fastest charging is possible with lowest battery degradation over time. And that is only 60% of 7.2kWh so close to your calculation. Odd they would use a "0% to anything" spec since discharging to 0% is a...

Unless the two photos were taken with the exact same focal length, then that could distort proportions. I'm sure there are some tweaks hear or there, but I would guess the primary plastics are identical so most decal kits will work for either. the exception being the front fender and it's common...
