Yes, EVs are fun. It is all about the instant torque - EVs have the torque band that ICE design engineers have been trying to obtain for a century.
I thought the lack of a manual transmission might be a negative - especially on a motorcycle - but I didn't miss it at all. With an EV you are always in the right "gear" so you can focus on hitting the apex just right and not worry about running out of RPM before the exit.
Yes, EVs are heavy but the weight is low and centered which help lower the center of gravity and reduce the polar moment of inertia.
Both of my EVs (Spark EV and Bolt EV) have been fun to drive on a twisty road.
