So, while I broadly share most of NotJustBike's views on the world, this particular context is different.
I was asking for an electric motorcycle with a top speed of at least 50mph, intended to be used over the sort of distances that people would not use an e-bike or a bicycle for (in my case, like the 25mile/40km journey from my home into the nearest city).
I do actually ride my bike to/from the city sometimes, and probably the coldest I've ever been cycling (and I ride a lot) was on a winter morning doing this, when I underestimated the depth of the cold without direct sunshine.
Moving at powered speed, with little to zero effort, is extremely chilling (potentially even life-threatening).
So yes ... yes to better cycling infrastructure even inside cities with challenging winter conditions, but also yes to recognizing that not all two-wheeled transport fits that particular description.
