"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

So TL;DR: Before anyone gets out their pitchforks, at the track in question they require some kind of additional license to run a vehicle there that can do sub 11 second runs (presumably a quarter mile, but the article did not specify). This bike can apparently just about push that threshold.
He could have had the same issue with a gasoline powered turbo 'Busa, or whatever. But it's still neat that Energica can do that.
Yep this is a local Kiwi, Sam, and yes its quater mile.
