An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    that just sounds like too much throttle because you’re not familiar with the extra torque from take off.

    nothing to do with a little extra weight.

    my last two bikes were over 1L, with a curb weight of something like 280kg, maybe. 45kg extra in batteries is like a child or a big dog. it’s not much.

    not enough to double your wear rate.
