It was, of course, a sweeping statement and all sweeping statements are false. Most of the time
I think the behaviour you had described is "kind of" us bikers' behaviour : ride with traffic's flow, but if the opportunity presents itself, overtake the row in the blink of an eye. Bikes do it on 2 wheels, EV's do it on 4.
Er, no Phillipe. I have yet to see an ev being driven anything like 'we' bikers do, ie, overtaking anything on non-motorway type roads. My complaint is they use their acceleration to baulk following cars from overtaking on the few straights we have around here but then don't do anything about overtaking themselves. Not all ev drivers of course, just some of them.
And of course, most ev drivers are more interested in the so-called free power or are early adopters but even lowly ev's have quite startling acceleration from low speed, a basic function of the electric motor.
From conversations with other riders, most are not remotely sporty car drivers. I and apparently Andy, are the only two I know of who drive the same way they ride. I realise that, by definition, this forum is populated by those who appreciate and mostly use, the 'sports' bit of the sports-tourer tag of the K but unless you are a weekend warrior I doubt most of us ever see many really fast bikes out there. Over four days in mid- and north Wales this week, there were plenty of bikes out there but most were admiring the view or making a little progress at best. And that's OK. I never moan about slower riders because even in the car they pose no problems to me making progress.
It's those damned ev's that wind me up...
