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

Sorry for not being clear, I change tires on my gas powered commuter motorcycle about once every two years. Electric motorcycles seem to go through tires much faster it was explained to me that the bikes are heavier and most tires aren’t designed for electric motorcycles.

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.
