Fancy a Rocket in 2022? Rocket eBike Review
We live in exciting times when we can implement technological breakthroughs in our everyday lives.
EBikes are a perfect example. They are all the rage.
Luckily, they have been on the market long enough so we can buy newer and better models at a much lower cost.
In this review, we’ll be going over Rocket eBike. We want to point out some of the features, pros, and cons so you can decide with ease if Rocket eBike is right for you.
So, do you want a Rocket for half the price?
The story behind Rocket eBike
Rocket Bike company was formed by a close group of friends from Belfast, UK. They are all experts in their respective fields united over a beer by a common desire — to ride the best eBike. Since it didn’t exist yet, they got to work.
Their brainchild Rocket eBike had to be designed from scratch. The frame and the regenerative braking system are designed by them. They have handpicked all the components to ensure quality and affordable price for their customers.
The company is launching two new models for summer 2021 and three new models for summer 2022 because anyone should use electric modes of transportation.
Their aim is to be a leading global brand in the eBike field.
Bicycle Details
Total Weight: 60 lbs (27 kg) with battery. Without a battery, it weighs 24 kg.
Unfolded dimensions: 126 cm high, 178 cm long, 60 cm wide
Folded dimensions: 74 cm high, 99 cm long, 52 cm wide
Battery: 48V 15AH, Panasonic cell battery that you charge without removing from the eBike. It easily slides out if you want to remove it. The regular charge lasts 4 hours. It also has a quick recharge function which charges in 2 hours. Note that a fast charger is an add-on at extra cost. Battery life is 1000 cycles which will last you 3 years if ridden daily.
Motor: Brushless hub Bafang 750W motor is affordable but powerful, with a remarkably high industry-leading torque of 100Nm.
Display: Waterproof Smart color LCD Display with phone holder and USB charger. It gives you a clear picture of your status: 1-5 pedal assist level, speed, battery life, distance, and temperature.
Front light. Rocket Bike has an integrated front light as standard. You control it on the screen on the handlebar. It is 750 lumens strong. If you select the rear rack in the checkout, you get an integrated rear light as well.
Frame Material: 6061 Aircraft-grade Aluminum alloy frame
Gearing Details: Shimano 7 Speed Gears
Handlebar: clean design with 2 ergonomic handgrips on each side (one which doubles as a throttle on the US version). You have plenty of space for accessories (like a bike bell).
Brake System: Front and rear 180mm Tektro hydraulic disc brakes
Saddle: Comfortable Waterproof
Tires: 4.0” x 20.0” anti-puncture fat tires
“Let’s have a moment of silence for all those
who are stuck in traffic on the way to the gym
to ride stationary bikes.”
PROS
- Range. Astonishing 100 miles (162 km) on a single charge. The rule is: You want to get as much range as you can afford. I guess that’s also the logic behind Rocket’s creation.
- Regenerative braking. As long as the battery is over 10% charged, the regenerative braking system is activated. The system is automatically activated and always active. If you want, you can completely shut down the motor and electronics and ride the Rocket eBike as a conventional bicycle.
- Power and Speed. The US model is 750W with higher speeds than the EU model which is restricted by EU laws. The US model is shipped worldwide so you can order it even in the EU and ride on private roads.
- Hidden battery. The battery is conveniently hidden in the frame which can be folded with the battery still inside. If you like, you can take the battery out for security reasons.
- Cruise Control. A highly convenient feature that can be enabled with one push of a button.
- Full suspension. It smooths out the ride. You won’t feel bumpy rocks.
- Size. Rocket eBike is small, foldable, and light. It takes away all the disadvantages of the regular bicycle. Rocket folds in seconds in 3 simple steps. You can fold pedals in one click.
- Weight. A low weight of 60 lbs (27 kg) is made possible with an aluminum alloy frame. Weight is a huge factor to consider when buying an eBike. While they are all on the heavy side, you can still lift Rocket up and on and off a bike rack.
- Fat tires. Anti-puncture fat tires can take you off-road, provide ultimate comfort and great control at the same time.
- All-terrain. You can ride on the beach, uphill, nothing is off-limits.
- Adjustable Parts. You can adjust the front suspension to fully adjust the Rocket eBike to your weight and riding style. Easily adjustable saddle and handlebar height are designed to comfortably fit riders between 4’10 and 6’8 (150 cm to 200 cm). Rocket Bike has a recommended weight limit of 330 lbs (150 kg).
- Easily adjustable seat. The seat can be raised or lowered easily with just one hand.
- Low price. In case you are new to the eBike world, they don’t come cheap. No matter how much you want to spend on an eBike, you have to admit — this is a bargain. At 999 currently being offered on Indigogo, which is half the usual price, this is a rare and incredible opportunity. Note that the price will increase once the Indiegogo campaign is over.
- Pedal assist. 1—5 levels of pedal assist. You can pedal as much or as little you want.
- Standardized parts. Standardized gears and chain (7 speed Shimano) can be easily found in different stores and online.
- Pre-assembled. No need for assembly is a big plus. Just unpack it and go for a ride.
- Charger included. Unlike some companies (Apple), Rocket eBike comes with a charger. When traditional methods work, why change the system.
- Manual included. You would be amazed at how many eBikes come without a manual. Learning the ropes is much easier if you get a manual. It can save you hours spent on YouTube looking for tutorials.
- It’s fashionable. Rocket eBike has a sporty look and comes in 6 colors.
Cons
- Not a renowned brand. Solution: Give them some time. New companies trying to prove themselves are more eager to please their customers either with innovative products or great customer support. Large companies are notorious for bad customer service. Additionally, new companies adapt faster than giants and can persevere in changing times.
- Production is overseas. In order to cut costs, you get an eBike produced in Taiwan. Solution: The company already has people on-site to oversee the quality of production. They could promise to make more Taiwan trips to check up on the production and have a few beers while at it. In any case, there is no need to change a thing. Everybody does it. Customers get a quality product and should be happy.
- Components are extra cost, and only available on Indiegogo. Solution: give it some time. The website will be up and running in a couple of months. All spare parts will be available from their website in the future.
- External bulky cables are exposed and look unappealing. Solution: put a ribbon on it.
- Kickstand. From the video and photos provided on Indiegogo, we concluded that Rocket doesn’t come with a kickstand. This is a nice feature that the Belfast team should include with future projects.
- Buying online. Solution: get over it. E-commerce is on the rise. With coronavirus pandemic, it’s safer this way.
- Mail delivery. We know that some people may be discouraged by ordering eBike via mail, especially because it comes with a motor and a battery. Solution: write an email to Rocket Company asking them to double bubble wrap everything, and put a ribbon on it.
- Only available on Indiegogo currently. We realize that coming late to an Indiegogo campaign may leave you without a Rocket. Solution: patience is a virtue. The company has many plans already set in course, so we will all just have to wait to be amazed.
Buying Advice
The saying goes — you get what you pay for. In this case, you get a whole lot more.
We weighed pros and cons, and we can honestly say — this Rocket you have to buy. When compared to other eBikes we previously reviewed, the Rocket has more range, more power, higher top speed, higher torque, regenerative braking, and much more — while costing less.
Rocket eBike stands out because it was designed to maximize what people love in eBikes. It is fashionable and with great technological features.
As autoevolution wrote: a serious contender for the crown of the e-bike industry is here.
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.
Updated March 2023: New electric motorcycles seem to be popping up every month these days! In an effort to keep our readers up to date, we’re updating this article with all the latest and greatest models available on the market.
Sondors Metacycle
Sondors had recently made waves by dropping the pricing on the already affordable Metacycle by more than a few pennies. That’s an astonishing tactic in a market where most electric motorcycles cost more than your average Harley-Davidson. It’s a handsome bike, with some nifty features, like low seat height and weight.
The 60-mile range will get you to work and back, provided you’re not too heavy on the throttle. The brakes are a little bland and the rear shock may be inadequate, but even all those caveats aside, you simply can’t beat that price. And if all you’re doing is going to and from work, it may just be the best vehicle for you, hands down.
Super Soco TC
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 single or a double battery pack setup, claiming an impressive range of 78 Miles (with the dual battery setup), 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. It’s pretty cheap, at approximately 4,140, but here comes the bad news. You can’t get it in the U.S.
Pursang E-Tracker
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 74 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. It’s now available in Europe for roughly 10,052.
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 quite 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 85 mph (max sustained) and a range of 150 miles. 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 on his gas-powered sport bikes.
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
Designed around a modular Arrow platform, 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.
It is due to arrive in showrooms by the second half of 2023. The power output is a claimed 80 horsepower, while it weighs in at 431 pounds. The city range is expected to be 110 miles, with a 0-80% charge time in about 75 min.
Damon Hyperfighter
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.
Zero SR/F
Looking for a do-it-all e-motorcycle? Well, we believe it’s the Zero SR/F. Sure, its price of nearly 23,795 isn’t for everyone, but this is one of the most sought-after bikes out there. It comes equipped with a powerful motor-battery combo that has a claimed top speed and range of 124 mph and 187 miles (city) of range, respectively.
This ensures you’ll have plenty of power to have fun while steering clear of range anxiety. Then, you have high-quality underpinnings comprising fully adjustable Showa Big Piston forks and Showa monoshock, alongside Pirelli Rosso III tires. It also comes with all modern-day features like ride modes, TFT instrumentation, smartphone connectivity, LED lighting, and even a stability control from Bosch.
LiveWire One
The Harley-Davidson LiveWire features a likable design, which shouts Harley in its own special way while promising a familiar torquey riding experience, too. Of course, there is no glass-shattering rumble here, but you do get 100 horsepower and 84 pound-feet of torque, right on par with Harley’s ICE bikes. Plus, all this power is instantly available and monitored by a handful of electronics to ensure you stay upright.
The LiveWire boasts a claimed range of 146 miles and a top speed of 95 mph, both more than enough for most riders. One item to note is that Harley spun LiveWire out into its own company, and is now producing LiveWire One in addition to the previously mentioned Del Mar.
Tarform Luna
The main point of EVs is to offer a sustainable means of getting around and if that’s your motive too, it doesn’t get any more eco-friendly than the Tarform Luna. I say this because nearly 55-percent of the bike’s parts are 3D-printed from recycled materials like pineapple-leaf fibers and recycled aluminum. But, Tarform didn’t stop there and threw in an impressive motor and battery combo which gives the bike a claimed range of 120 miles and a top speed of 120 mph. Not to forget, this is accompanied by features like a circular digital instrument cluster with an HD display, all-LED lighting, three ride modes, a 180-degree rearview camera, keyless ignition, and smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth.
Evoke 6061
Rarely do we see electric cruiser bikes, but the Evoke 6061 happens to be one of them. However, this isn’t why it’s on this list. You see, the Evoke 6061, while being an e-cruiser, can also charge from zero to 80-percent in JUST 30 minutes! That’s just a quick lunch! Before you get suspicious, let us tell you that this isn’t a marketing gimmick achieved by using a tiny battery. In fact, the Evoke 6601 packs a huge 25 kWh battery, giving it a range of 410 miles (city), which is accompanied by a beefy 120kW motor.
Energica Ego
If you’re a sportbike fanatic who wants to go electric, the Energica Ego is probably THE best electric motorcycle for you. Not only does it offer sport bike-like performance, 170 horsepower and a limited top speed of 150mph, the Ego also has a claimed range of 261 miles which is a lot more than your ICE sport bike can manage. Along with this, the Energica Ego boasts top-shelf underpinnings comprising a trellis frame, cast aluminum wheels, Marzocchi USD forks, and Brembo brakes at both ends. Not to forget, the Ego was also used in the MotoE world championship up until last year, so it’s safe to say that the bike is well kitted-out to tackle a racetrack.
Verge TS Ultra
One important consequence of the rise of the electric motorcycle is that much of the early development has been undertaken by small, and until now, obscure companies that previously had no presence on the world motorcycling stage. This in turn has led to more innovative engineering solutions than you can shake a stick at.
The specs are quite astonishing: 885 pound feet of torque is delivered instantaneously directly to the road, with no power-sapping chains or cogs to get in the way. Nor does the motor require cooling fluids. Four ride modes configure the power delivery to suit your mood or riding requirements and 80-percent charge is available in 25 minutes with the optional DC fast charger and range is quoted as up to 233 miles.
BMW CE 04
BMW is taking a Smart approach as it dips its toe into the electric motorcycle pool. They know that electric motorcycles are best suited for city commuting, and what better motorcycle to use in an urban environment than a scooter. It’s loaded with premium features like large TFT display and large storage compartments. Its design aesthetic is futuristic. It comes with a 3-year BMW warranty and its pricing is not too shabby either, starting at 11,795. It’s built for urban commuters, with a range of 80 miles. You can pull up to work, plug it and have it ready to take you home when you’re done.
Arc Vector
Range anxiety is a major concern for most people planning to go electric. But, there’s a radical solution to it, and it’s called the Arc Vector. The bike offers a range of over 270 miles, and if you still happen to run out of charge, it can be juiced up in just 40 minutes. Apart from this, the bike has a top speed of 124 mph and can get to 60 mph in merely 3.2 seconds. The Arc Vector is built around a unique monocoque chassis featuring Öhlins TTX mono shocks and Brembo Stylema brakes at both ends, making the package ever-so-premium.

Energica Experia: Overall best electric motorcycle
When anyone brings up electric motorcycles, it’s easy to envision a dead battery cutting short the fun. Due to the logistical nightmare of squeezing large, heavy batteries onto a small frame, touring bikes have been out of the question.
Until now. Energica Experia is our top choice for an electric motorcycle as it’s gone somewhere others haven’t dared. It has the longest claimed range of any production motorcycle on the market, with up to 261 miles (420 km) of city driving on one charge.
But city driving isn’t the goal of touring. At highway speeds, the range is limited to 130 miles (209 km), but three different charging methods can get you back on the road in a hurry.
The Energica Experia has a great overall stance and handling, combined with a charming aerodynamic style. It is hands down the best electric motorcycle to hit the market.
| Price: | 25,880 |
| Engine power: | 75 kW – 102 HP |
| Top speed: | 180 km/h – 112 mph |
| Acceleration: | 0-100 km/h – 0-62 mph: 3.5 sec |
| Range: | 256 km – 160 miles |

Cake Kalk INK Electric Motorbike: Best value EV motorcycle
By mimicking the dual-sport motorcycle, Cake has created a cheap electric motorcycle that can silently sprint around trails. It started as an off-road-only model, but recent upgrades allow street legal use, registered as a 125cc bike in the USA and EU.
If you want something that’s not quite a full-size motorcycle yet not as compact as an electric bicycle, the Cake Kalk INK is a perfect choice. It’s lightweight and nimble, yet still able to deliver some power when you want it.
The Cake Kalk INK incorporated three ride modes that adjust speed and power to provide different levels of battery range. Another three braking modes can perfectly adjust what happens when you lift off the accelerator to match your conditions.
| Price: | 11,580 |
| Engine power: | 11 kW – 15 HP |
| Top speed: | 90 km/h – 56mph |
| Acceleration: | Unspecified |
| Range: | 3 hours of trail/enduro riding |
| Website: | huckberry.com |
BMW CE 04: Best premium electric motorbike
If there’s one brand that’s no stranger to bringing advanced electric variants to the streets, BMW deserves some credit. The German automaker introduced futuristic-looking EVs over a decade ago and continues to reshape the automotive and motorcycle industries with new platforms.
The BMW CE 04 is not your average motorcycle. Its low-slung shape with an elongated bench seat might remind you of a modified jetski out of water. But that’s far from the truth.
The reality is that this beast utilizes a compact yet powerful motor that pairs with a thin battery pack. This leaves you plenty of room for seating two passengers or extra gear, plus a sizable storage compartment that helps make practical daily use a breeze.
The BMW CE 04 takes a giant step forward in electric motorcycle evolution. Are you ready to take the leap?
| Price: | 11,795 |
| Engine power: | 31 kW – 42 HP |
| Top speed: | 121 km/h – 75 mph |
| Acceleration: | 0–50 km/h – 0-31.1 mph: 2.6 sec |
| Range: | 129 km – 80 Mi |
| Website: | bmwmotorcycles.com |
Zero FX: Best electric sports bike
It takes time to perfect any craft. And with over a decade of EV motorcycle production under its belt, Zero is staying ahead of the pack in many ways.
The Zero FX is most at home on the trails, where it will let you FOCUS on finding the right line while cruising through nature. But it’s a jack of all trades. You can throw it around city streets with just as much enthusiasm as your off-road adventures.
The chassis is built from aircraft aluminum and has been shaved down over many years of production, providing one of the best power-to-weight ratios on the market. Simply put, the Zero FX electric sports bike will blow your mind regardless of the conditions under the tires.
| Price: | 12,995 |
| Engine power: | 34 kW – 46 HP |
| Top speed: | 137 km/h – 85 mph |
| Acceleration: | Unspecified |
| Range: | 111 km – 69 miles |
| Website: | zeromotorcycles.com |
Onyx RCR Electric Motorbike: Best electric street bike
It’s a bird… it’s a plane. No, it’s the Onyx RCR electric street bike. Fitting precisely into no category, this sleek offering straddles the line between an e-bike and an electric motorcycle.
One thing’s for certain. The Onyx RCR brings back nostalgia with its cafe-racer looks and woodgrain decals. It’s available in two different models, one designed for street use and one for trail riding. You can also customize battery packs, suspension heights, and paint colors.
This E motorcycle is much more suitable for slower speeds, and the street-legal mode only goes up to 20 mph (32 km/h). But as an affordable electric street bike, this can win over your heart with one quick ride.
| Price: | 5,750 |
| Engine power: | 13 kW – 17 HP |
| Top speed: | 97 km/h – 60 mph |
| Acceleration: | Unspecified |

Vespa Elettrica: Best electric scooter
Kleenex, Google, Band-Aid. Few brands are so iconic that their trademarked product name takes over the generic term. When it comes to scooters, Vespa is the name of the game and has been since the 1940s.
Today’s Vespas aren’t like that of the past. While the exterior design might have you think otherwise, the Vespa Elettrica uses a fully electric drivetrain to make getting a town an absolute joy.
The power is on the lower end of the scale, but you won’t notice thanks to the respectable 148 lb-ft of instant torque. The inboard display seamlessly connects to your phone. And you have your choice of six stylish colors to make this electric motorcycle scooter your own.
If you don’t care about the Vespa brand name, check out the Piaggio 1. This cheaper alternative is based on the same platform and has similar performance.

The cost of this powerful E motorcycle is magnitudes more than most bikes, but it has every right to charge the premium. Its incredible design brings out the best in sports bike styling, while the range, acceleration, and top speed are all at the top of the game.

Livewire S2 Del Mar: Best electric street bike for tech lovers
Harley Davidson’s image doesn’t blend well with the electric motorcycle revolution. But the brand’s spinoff EV motorcycle group, Livewire, is doing all it can to show Harley riders that electric motorbikes are the way of the future. And the S2 Del Mar has grabbed the spotlight.
At first glance, it’s mostly what you’d expect from a modern Harley bike. It’s a robust motorcycle that has only a few cues indicating the electric platform, most notable are the heat transfer fins flanking the bike.
But this isn’t Livewire’s first take. It’s a more nimble, lighter, and less expensive version of the Livewire ONE, yet it still has all the power and fun you could want.
The exclusive Del Mar Launch Edition S2 features an exclusive paint scheme and wheel design, but the regular production models are sure to impress with looks just as much as the legendary Harley Davidson ride, even if it doesn’t rumble as you’d expect.

Bonus: The upcoming electric motorcycles we’re most excited about
What’s that we see glinting on the horizon? Oh, just the hottest electric motorcycles hitting the market very soon:
- Switch Scrambler – Make it yours: the Switch Scrambler is totally customizable, and whatever style choices you make, you can be sure it’ll look slick. It’s currently in the ABS testing phase and will be heading for full production later in the year.
- DAB Concept-E – One for the tech-fiends, the DAB Concept-E offers incredibly high-end components for a seamless experience. The slightly smaller-than-average battery means this one’s better for short-range city-riding rather than long journeys.
- Husqvarna E-Pilen – This electric motorcycle for adults is still in its conceptual phase, but it’ll be all the better for it. With a vroom-vroom aesthetic and plans for whippet-like speeds, the Husqvarna E-Pilen is certainly one to keep your eye on. Look out for full production within the next 2 years.
- Ducati Electric Racer – Still a bit of an enigma, the new model is currently being tested. When it’s finally released, the Ducati Electric Racer will be used for the MotoE series in 2023, taking the place of Energica as the official motorcycle supplier. Well, if it’s good enough for the pros…
With so many ground-breaking electric motorcycles entering the market – this could be the year electric begins to surpass petrol. We are seeing competitions where electric motorcycles are now dominating like the Malle Mile. We predict that we are going to see this happening in more and more motorcycle categories now.

Advantages and disadvantages of electric motorcycles
Electric motorcycles have many advantages. Ease of maintenance, instant torque, and whisper-quiet noise levels are some of the top benefits.
But there are some disadvantages to electric motorbikes too. The main issues to consider are the limited range, charging time and infrastructure, and potential battery replacement needs.
The electric motorcycle that’s best for you
powerful than an electric bicycle, lower profile than an electric car: If you’re looking for a sustainable vehicle that’s a good all-around compromise between the two, you can’t go wrong with an electric motorcycle. In particular, they’re usually more cost-effective than an electric car – and they generally feature shorter recharge times, which is a definite plus.
If you’re looking to purchase an electric motorbike, there are a couple of features you should pay close attention to. These include:
- Range. As an EV, an electric motorbike does have a specific maximum distance that it can travel before you’re going to need to find a way to recharge. If you are using your electric motorcycle mainly for commuting, you may be able to select a bike with a lower range and prioritize other features. If you’re planning on adventuring further away from home, it might be a good idea to select one with a larger range – such as the Damon Hypersport Premier.
- Comfort. Motorcycles aren’t known for being the most comfortable of vehicles, but if you’re planning on riding it a lot, a little comfort will go a long way. Check to see what the seat is made of, whether the pedals are adjustable, and if the shocks of your future bike promise a bump-free ride.
- Safety. Motorcycles have gotten poor press in the past for their lack of safety features. The modern EV motorbike market is compensating for this with new high-tech safety features each year, such as 360-degree cameras and Smart rider assistance. If you’re at all worried about your safety while you’re zipping around on your motorbike, it’s a good idea to invest in a high-tech motorcycle that has these options.
