    Sure there is. There's a value to some people to look different. That translates to dollars.

    Motorcycle buyers, especially sportbikes, don't take kindly to bullshit. Hubless wheels are heavy, have more wear components and are pointlessly complex. But pointless complexity is a requirement in EVs to justify the overprice.
