<p>Cognitive behavioral therapy and, if you want to, medication. Studies have confirmed great results when those two are done together.<p>If you get your utilities shut off due to ADHD, and that is only 1% of it as you claim, your instinctual coping mechanisms obviously aren't enough to prevent a pretty bad impact on your day-to-day life. As you would seek help for acute medical problems from professionals, you should seek help for chronic mental problems from professionals.</p>

<p>To clarify some misconceptions regarding what they do and don't have in their current motorcycles, as of Feb 2026:<p>All of current existing Verge motorcycles have a "traditional" lithium ion ~20kWh battery pack[0], very much on par with competition in all specs. They do exist and a few indeed appear to be in owners' hands (according to Facebook Verge fangroup posts and pics), and they can be test ridden. One of their showrooms is in Valley Fair in San Jose, CA. I have tested one of them. It feels and seems to perform well, as advertized and as physics allow, despite the hubless engine and skepticism around that. However, the test ride was ~30 minutes and there's so few of those bikes out there, that there's virtually no data on longevity.<p>What currently does not exist is a Verge motorcycle with the battery that they claim to be testing here. They have announced that all their offerings will feature their solid state battery later this year, increasing the energy capacity to ~30kWh. That remains to be seen.<p>[0] <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20260223173926/https://www.vergemotorcycles.com/battery-information/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20260223173926/https://www.verge...</a></p>
