I recently started riding a motorcycle in the last 2 years. One of my favorite aspects of motorcycles are how easy it is to find a solid 30-year-old bike that still runs well and costs less than $5k. You can still buy parts for it… 30 _years_ later. Nothing else in my life shares that quality. I can continue repairing them and keep them running, which is a fun little hobby.
I really want to like the idea of electric motorcycles, but I have very low confidence that they would be built for the long term. Having to worry about software and security makes me even less excited.

Firmware not being signed by certificates in 2026 is wild.

Somehow I'm not surprised that Zero's software is terrible. I don't think being new has anything to do with it, they are just that type of company.

That's a really nice article. I don't typically read security exploit posts but it was pretty interesting.
In the section about possible attacks, it wasn't clear if those three options represented the worst things you could do or just possible ideas. It seemed to me that locking the throttle to maximum would be worse.

Killswitch is still physical, so I guess unless that's in the bad conditions and, say, in a curve..... But yeah, killing bad.

Cool article. Take out the dumb proselytizing about AI use, it’s totally out of place.
