I ride a 750 pound motorcycle. It has similar issues with chewing through tires unless you get a super long life, hard compound tire, which has its drawbacks on grip for cornering and braking. However I cannot lie to myself or anyone about how heavy it is. If it lays down, I have to pick up 750 pounds worth of bike.

No such option with EVs though. If your vehicle is nearly a ton heavier than a similarly sized ICE vehicles, you may never think about how that weight affects things and then comes the surprise that it affects all kinds of things.

EVs are cool. They are not a 1:1 replacement for ICE yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if they drive something like a Honda Goldwing - the undisputed Big Chungus of the motorcycle world, clocking in at up to 800 pounds [1].
