India already has scooters that get 110+ miles range and go ~75mph top speed, AND only cost $1800. Why is the US so behind?
It can go about 3 miles before needing to charge! Count me in!
Yes. Exactly what people need.
So many small companies have said something like this in the past, and it never happened
"We did it once! It blew up after. But we did it once!
There are a couple reasons for this. The biggest is that it takes a lot of time and money to develop road-legal vehicles, and this technology hasn’t been around in a production-feasible form for that long.
I’m an engineer at an electric motorcycle company. We’ve charged to 80% in less than 10 minutes with our test mules. We’re fortunate enough to have the resources to bring it to production, but it still takes years.
It has to do ”The Ton” 1 more mph please and thank you
It has pedals to use after completing a 1/4 mile.
If it topped out at 80 but went 250 miles per charge I’d buy today
80 is too slow to drive safely in the United States. If the flow of traffic is 85 and you need to shoot a gap to make an evasive maneuver you need more top end.
80? Gross
And discharges in 5 minutes
I can’t imagine a silent motorcycle. I feel like the sound of the engine is part of its safety features
Engine noise would be a safety feature if the sound was projected forward, but it ain’t. If I don’t have my windows down, I get zero extra notice of someone riding in my blind spot.
The problem with electric motorcycles is they lack universal appeal. Perhaps I should say global appeal as there are so many variables. In smaller countries it could be the greatest thing ever as larger displacement ICE vehicles are taxed per cc and the distances traveled are well within the range capabilities. In larger countries such as the USA the use case just isn’t there. It would be great for those that don’t need to leave their city for their commutes and have plenty of controlled intersections for regenerative braking to aid range.
Most people in this country have much farther, higher speed, commutes which act in direct opposition to the benefits of electric vehicles. I rarely ever have to visit my base office, but there isn’t an electric motorcycle that could make the trip without requiring a charge to get home and that’s only 30 miles at upwards of 65mph.
Electric scooters are pretty popular in Turkey. Or maybe just the areas I visited. They top out at 40kph so the batteries last a decent while.
And by electric scooter I mean full size sit down ones, not the ones you fold up and ride like 10 miles.
Electric scooters are getting more popular in Indonesia too. And more cheaper models (mainly from Chinese manufacturer) are started to be more common. But in terms of popularity, they still way behind of regular ICE scooters tho.
…and gets how many kilometers per charge?
“The company hasn’t shared a range figure yet…”
I’m most concerned about the weight of electric bikes
Given it’s rather slower than the Zero SR/F which has rather more than double the battery capability, I’m guessing in town around 70 miles, out of town about 40-45?.. Wish I could afford the SR/F, it truly would be a practical transport for my 70-mile round-trip commute
You charge up, you drive around, yadea yadea you’re stuck on the side of the highway.
I can charge my phone pretty quickly and if I shoot it out of a cannon, it’s pretty fast too.
Read that as Yamaha and got interested, reread, immediately lost interest.
same lol
why does it matter who makes it as long as it works
Remember those concepts
I need to know what Tyler Perry thinks
Can go for 2 miles before needing a recharge.
Made in china
Volvo is owned by the Chinese now, too
6.4 kWh
0-80% in 10 min
(6.4 kWh * 0.8) / (0.167 h) = 30.6 kW
Doesn’t seem great compared to a car at least
