    Wear a helmet and discard the broken and probably old ones

    I agree that off road, a helmet is a must and the chance of falling is much greater. I stick to the paved paths unless I’m on a MC.

    Wear a helmet and discard the broken and probably old ones

    To you maybe. Please explain to me how so many here fall off their bikes numerous times ? Don’t you have to ride a bike where your feet completely touch the ground ? I personally can’t ride those bikes but if it makes you feel more stable,so be it.

    I guess there is a risk in most things. I think a lot of older guys on this forum have a balance problem and maybe time to seek a different activity.

    OP, glad you are ok. Personally, I’ve never fallen off a bike in my life. I know, there’s always the first time but maybe not.

    Considering buying the Current, how hard is it to get the electronics repaired

    I sure wouldn’t fret about it. Make sure you have Costco membership for savings of 20%. Nice bike for 2600 bucks.

    Sleep problems

    Nothing disrupts sleep like alcohol. You don’t want to hear the Booze Rooster at 3 in the morning.

    I think 30k is very optimistic but I might wrong. Hopefully, the fire risk is a thing of the past.

    Motorcycles to Ariel X-52 E-Bike in NC

    Adjusting 24 valves with shims had to be a bitch and expensive. I had a Norton Commando , just before the CBX and the Honda felt so heavy in comparison. But , what a sound !

    Motorcycles to Ariel X-52 E-Bike in NC

    I bought the first CBX I saw in 78, primarily for the engine and its incredible sound with a six into one aftermarket exhaust. Besides the sound, it was the most ill handling bike I ever rode.
