The high torque of the electric powertrain can be an issue if you are not careful, especially on surfaces right after rain starts for the first times after a dry spell, as accumulated oil from vehicles has floated out of the pavement but not been washed away.
;Electric Powertrain Risks
* The powertrain, once it breaks free of engaging with the ground, will spin up very quickly without quick operator reduction in throttle input.
* Re-engagement with a high difference in wheel speed to groundspeed can result in a jerky take-off or highside.
;Aggravating Conditions
# During takeoff
#: When starting from a stop ''especially into a turn'', the rear tire may slip above a certain torque.
# While accelerating
#: ''Torque reduction'' features in the bike programmed to make low speed take-off manageable may disengage in the 20-30mph range (32-48kph) and result in a loss of traction with no change in throttle input.
# At speed
#: The rear tire may slip when leaning into a turn or going over a bumpy and oily surface, initiating a fishtail.
# On loose ground
#: The rear tire may slip when engaged on loose gravel or sand, digging up the ground into a hole.
;Recovery
* Ease off the throttle ''very slowly''.
* Transfer your weight to the footpegs from the seat.
* Damp the oscillation through the handlebars, ''loosely'' to prevent initiating oversteer.
;Mitigation
* If it rains after a long dry spell, Eco mode is worth trying because the torque roll-on rate is really low which means the onset of a slip can be recovered from without overreacting.
