Best Electric Motorcycles
Love them or hate them, electric motorcycles are fast becoming a reality. From daily commuters to enduro and race bikes, we’ve seen all kinds of electric bikes hit the road over the past couple of years, and it’s about time we accept that we’ll have to eventually switch to one soon too. Lucky for us, there’s a vast array of electric bikes catering to riders of all shapes, sizes, and kinds. Here are our top 15 picks in the e-motorcycle space.To get more news about electric bikes for adults, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.
As much as we love high-performance bikes, an electric motorcycle will probably spend most of its life in the city. And, this is why the Super Soco TC is on our list. The Super Soco TC not only looks retro in a stylish way, but it also makes for a great commuter electric bike. With a top speed of 75 mph, it comes with a 45 Ah (2.7 kWh) battery pack, claiming an impressive range of 60 miles, which is more than enough for city duties. Meanwhile, features like LED lights, an anti-theft alarm, keyless ignition, and a semi-digital instrument cluster top off the package.
If the more modern styling excesses of electric motorcycles are too much for you (and your wallet won''t stretch to a Curtiss One!) and what you really feel you need is a flat-track-inspired electric bike, then the Pursang is the best ev motorcycle for you. Taking its name from an old Bultaco model, the Pursang E-Tracker is a relatively normal-looking electric motorcycle, featuring a tubular chrome-moly tubed frame and carbon-fiber bodywork. The range is quoted as 87 miles, but recharge time is a bloated six hours, which rules it out for any sort of competition riding, if that was ever a goal. It boasts a full-color TFT display that shows speed, range, riding mode, engine power regeneration, and of course, battery life. It even features smartphone connectivity and can be connected via the Bosch mobile app.
Fuell Fllow - $10,995
Front three-quarters shot of a Fuell Fllow
From the fertile engineering brain of Erik Buell comes the Fuell Fllow. Featuring a magnesium monocoque chassis and housing for the battery, the electric motor is housed in the rear wheel and produces a frankly astonishing 553 pound-feet of torque! Twist the throttle on this, and you don''t move forward, the earth rotates underneath you. The top speed is limited to 55 mph, with 85 mph available for short bursts for overtaking. Regenerative braking is employed, and using a CCS Type 2 charger gives you a full charge in 30 minutes. There is 1.76 cubic feet of storage in what used to be the fuel tank, which Fuell claims can take a full-face helmet and a soft bag. Unusually for Buell, he has not fitted the rim-mounted brake rotors that were such a feature of his petrol-powered sports bikes. It is one of the best electric motorcycles you can get yourself.
Side shot of a Cake Kalk&
The good thing about electric motorcycles is that there are plenty of start-up companies that are manufacturing new models that have no corporate design language to adhere to and the results are refreshingly different. Swedish company Cake set out to create the ultimate, spare-no-expense, lightweight, high-performance electric dirtbike. Having done this, it then turned its attention to a street-legal version. The oddly-named Kalk& is the result, and you could be forgiven for thinking it is a glorified bicycle, such is its skimpy design and construction. Skimpy it might be, but there is nothing skimpy about the specification: extruded, forged, and CNC-machined 6061 aluminum chassis, Öhlins suspension front and back, and bespoke forged and machined wheels. It''s not cheap, but if you are looking for personal transport that is light and agile, then the Cake might just be what you are looking for.
Livewire Del Mar S2 - $15,000
The second model from Livewire is significantly cheaper than the Livewire One and is an important electric motocycle for the brand, which is looking to set sail towards its ambitious sales targets as soon as possible - 100,000 examples by 2026, quite a step up from the 387 copies globally in 2021! Designed around a modular chassis platform called Arrow, the Del Mar is the first of a series of models that will be released in the coming years and is certainly aimed squarely at the mass market of electric bikes. The platform includes batteries, electronics, a motor, and can have different steering heads and swing arms bolted to it to create the different variants. The S2 models are the middleweights, while S3 will be smaller and S4 larger. It is due to arrive in showrooms in early 2023. The power output is a claimed 80 horsepower, while it weighs in at 440 pounds. The range is expected to be 100 miles and no recharge time has been quoted.
Damon Hyperfighter - $19,000 - $35,000
Do you like sporty naked motorcycles? Let us introduce you to the newly launched Damon Hyperfighter. Unveiled in early 2022, the Damon Hyperfighter is an epic all-electric naked motorcycle that has a rather striking design. This radical design is complemented by equally striking numbers including a peak power of 200 horsepower, 170 mph top speed, and a 146-mile claimed range. The bike also packs a unique Shift technology, that lets the rider adjust the handlebar and footpeg position on the fly, along with 360-degree cameras to warn the rider about potentially dangerous objects and vehicles.
