BUCK CITY BIKER

Electric motorcycles aren’t a different world. From the outside they can look like something new, maybe even separate from traditional bikes, but that feeling disappears pretty quickly once you’re on one. It’s still riding. Same roads, same instincts. You’re just getting there in a different way. That difference is where things start to open up. The space is already splitting into different types of bikes. Just like petrol, it’s not one category anymore. For a look at what's

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.
