I recently got an electric motorcycle, and it’s a similarly visceral experience. I can hear the tires digging into the dirt and have a much better feel for traction and speed because of it. The effortless (and extreme) torque, with just a small whir, is a riot as well.

People often complain about electric (particularly motorcycles) not being “loud enough”. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t noise, or that there’s not anything to be in tune with.

I worry about effortless power and immediate torque. Means it's too easy to go too fast.

I think that ship has sailed - ICE vehicles have obscene amounts of power these days even in “slow” vehicles
