Electric bike owners, will you consider another EV on your next upgrade

My next car will definitely be a more premium EV, but unsure about two-wheelers.

BHPian payeng recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

As an EV 4W Owner, I am pretty certain that my next 4W is going to be again an EV 4W (Hopefully a more Premium Option)

Am curious what current EV 2W owners would consider for their next upgrade?

1. Enough of Experimentation with EV 2W, I will consider an ICE vehicle as my Next
2. After experiencing the benefits of an EV 2W, I will consider an EV as my Next

Here's what BHPian antz.bin had to say on the matter:

I was seriously considering the Ultraviolette F77 at the time I purchased the Triumph 400 last year. Both were in a similar price range with comparable performance.

The problem with the F77 is there is absolutely no fast charging available for it. A full charge takes 4 hours on the optional Boost Charger. The standard charger takes 8 hours.

This charging speed is right for commuter EVs with less than 15hp (Ola S1 Pro being the most powerful) that will probably never be used outside the city. When you are going higher up the 2-wheeler chain, people want to take their bikes to Ladakh. With those charging rates and the limited range of 170-220 km in the real world, it becomes a tall order to convince a lot of people to purchase if something cannot even go to Lonavala (from Pune) and come back without having to charge for a couple of hours.

Had this had a DC fast charging option, this 200-250 km range is actually enough. 1st get RC390 had a 10-litre tank and returns 20km/l. The usable tank range is even smaller than Ultraviolette on that one. People used it without much complaints. If this could add 150-200km in a 30-40 min top-up (charging rate of 10Kw), it becomes perfectly capable of being used for long hauls.

Even if this requirement is not something that happens every day, people want the option to do this. An option that does not exist on the Ultraviolette yet.

But this is what I think and I don't own an EV yet. What do the others have to say?

Lastly, it doesn't make noise. Quiet and fast motorcycles do not make a safe combination.
