It is the reason why the T720 is the real deal for the money..... the mechanical break is a more useful fiability with less maintenance care necessity for me.... The different price for a not so bigger battery with the T1000 dont justify the great difference in price with the T 720.... The deal is the T720....My reason to buy the T720 is the difference in price between the 2 correspond to the difference in price for a second battery....Doubling then the possible road range distance....Same bike anyway, save for the hydraulic brake in the T1000....
