There's no hiding the fact that EV's, however many wheels they have, are priced higher that their petrol or diesel equivalents. Here's five reasons why we think this is the case, and what we are doing to tackle it. Battery Technology: One of the main components of an electric motorcycle is its battery, which can account for a significant portion of the total cost. While battery technology has been improving rapidly in recent years, it is still relatively expensive to produce
Right then, torque, horsepower, kW… the usual spec sheet mess. It sounds tough, but we’ll keep it simple, and try to make the age-old argument between torque and horsepower a bit clearer, or maybe even irrelevant.
It’s Sunday. You’re out riding. You glance down at the dash, and it's there. That orange warning light. You're low on fuel...again.
Doesn’t matter what you ride, we’ve all been here before. Fuel runs out. So does charge. It's no big deal. The problem is we treat it like one.
That’s where the dreaded 'range anxiety' comes in, and why it’s been such a sticking point for electric motorbikes and EVs in general.
How how far can an electric motorcycle actually go? That depends on how the bike is tested, how fast you're riding and how much work you're asking the battery to do. We all know the game by now: big range number on the brochure, smaller number once you hand over your hard-earned cash and start riding the thing. The reason it keeps happening comes down to how electric two-wheelers are tested, and the maths gets pretty ugly once you leave the gentle, controlled world of the tes
