Glad to see the positivity for the HD in particular even though I am not a great fan of any EV’s as yet, car or bike.
A head up display linked to the bike and a graduated throttle would solve a lot of your issues re your getting used to the lack of feedback from the bike.
I don’t think a graduated power delivery would be that hard to engineer.
You certainly don’t need a 1/4 turn throttle when you get 100% torque delivery.
A full turn and say 30% torque at 1/4 turn and a gradual build up to 100% as you continue to twist the throttle would be good.
I imagine that would help the range too.

regards, Ian
