Did they just ride off on you when you ran out of battery? Couldn’t you have hopped on the back of one of their bikes to get back to civilisation then retrieved the bike?
Comment on Accidentally range testing an electric motorcycle, and unexpected kindness
18107@aussie.zone 2 days agoI wasn’t really confident when I told them the range and I don’t think anyone actually looked at a map. They were just going from memory and heading in a general direction.
Ultimately it’s my responsibility to know how far I’m going, and to request/negotiate changes to the plan if I need it.
No harm done, and I know what to do next time.

One friend had parted ways at the previous town, and the other stayed to help until I told them to leave.
I had plenty of options, but all of them fairly expensive. With nothing else planned for the rest of the day, pushing a motorcycle for a few hours didn’t seem like a bad idea.

Yeah honestly that’s fair. But I do think it’s on them to at least give you a heads-up ahead of time about their level of confidence that the distance will work out, if you’ve given them prior warning that it’s necessary.
