You're LITERALLY making a strawman argument again, when I've proven you wrong each and every time.

Your original statement is:
Last I checked, 165 ftlbs of torque > 55 ftlbs of torque. Remember, bigger numbers means more.

Your original statement is:
You don't get full torque at the wheel at any speed compared to a traditional ICE alternative, because there is no transmission.Full torque no matter how fast you're going.
You can't edit posts here, its all in stone in black and white.ducman69 said:Virtually all electric motorcycles (I don't know of an exception) do not have a gear box. What is the purpose of a gearbox? Torque multiplication in lower gears, and overdrive gears for higher possible speeds... snip...Like other electric motorcycles, the HD electric bike does not have a gearbox... snip... So the HD electric with its 50ftlbs of torque gains no mechanical advantage (ignoring final drive since that's the same on the other bike). A HD Sporster by contrast makes 55ftlbs but in first gear it may have a 3:1 ratio, so you effectively have 165ftlbs of torque.
