Air Cooling Systems Revisited
For all its limitations, air cooling the motor/battery is still the most elegant solution. But are we doing it right or are we still scratching the surface in cooling?

The choice between air-cooled and liquid-cooled in E2Ws is the question every engineering team faces when designing anything above the learner license category.
As ICE motorcycles embrace electronics, sensors, and rider-aids, it is becoming easier for new riders to handle speed. The various automatic transmissions entering the market further dumb down motorcycles. The motorcycling world may not realise but they are taking ICE closer to EVs
The incumbents are reluctant and everyone else is not getting anywhere with large lifestyle electric motorcycles? What makes the equation so impossible? Is it just technology challenges compounded by half-hearted efforts or are we trying to force fit things before the core technology matures?
Freedom on two-wheels does not translate well beyond a certain motor power and battery capacity thresholds when it comes to electric. (Un)Surprisingly, large electric motorcycles are slower, heavier, and compromised
In a world where riders have been trained by ICE machines, over a century, it is difficult to make a sudden switch to E2Ws. With most established incumbents still treating going-electric with caution, we wonder if there is space for E2Ws in the world?
