The Electric Motorcycle Thread

No problems at all with the Eva? The question is if there is a problem would you be able to fix it yourself? In the last year I've had coolant leaks, motor temp thermistor go bad, a B9 fault, and and now a B40 fault.

I rented an Eva 107 for my birthday and I was able to get it to crash when I tried charging it at an electrify america charger. I had to learn how to restart the bike. Hmm I wonder if there is a way to restart the Empulse...

Looks like this might be my next doordash delivery bike. Sondors did a test ride video and here are the results:

SONDORS cited the following details for the ride:

Route: Irvine to Long Beach
Distance: 48 miles
Drive Time: 2.5 hours
Average Speed: 45 mph
Battery Remaining: 20%

That is not bad considering it has half the battery capacity of the Empulse TT and I'm getting like 60 miles range.

If the average speed was 45mph.
And the distance was 48m.
Why did it take 2.5 hours?:confused:

48 miles divided by 2.5 hours =19.2 average speed. ??
 
from the article,

Achieving this level of efficiency would be an impressive feat for the Metacycle. However, when I plot the same route that we can see plotted in the video, Google Maps tells me it is closer to 35 miles, not 48 miles.

SONDORS did mention that the rider’s trip took longer than expected, stating:

"Due to a couple of wrong turns and stopping to answer questions from numerous curious bystanders, their trip up Pacific Coast Highway took longer than originally planned."

The made is not the actual road, it was plotted out by google map is what they said.

We won't know the actual miles till we get the IRL miles from people who actually own the bike. Like how the Energica claims 200 miles for the new bikes, that's not he "IRL" miles.
 
Saw this on ADVRider figure I'll post it here

Wow cool, I'll tell you this I have a Victory Empulse TT 6 Speed electric motorcycle and the gears certainly do help if you need the extra torque pick a lower gear and you need top speed pick a higher gear. All electric motors have a powerband where they are most efficient.

They've got these two bikes currently looks like a Zero FX
rs=w:600,h:300,cg:true,m

cr=w:600,h:300


They're also selling this Banshee Storm
rs=w:600,h:300,cg:true



The west coast one has something called a Sierra Ion also, looks like a hypermotard

Also this dealer in Costa Mesa is selling them, you see a bunch of Triumphs and HEY an electric bike

LOL, banshee storm vs surron storm bee? they are copying each other's name now... :)

those other bikes I posted before, they sell them in europe.
I wonder if they will sell well here, seems overpriced.

the Bullet looks interesting, no pedals
no mention of street legality or license requirement.
the e moped market is getting popular, i see a lot of different makes.
 
Hmm 8.5klb that's like $11.7k kinda pricey still cheaper than Cake, hopefully when it gets to the states it'll be around $8k that'd be a great deal. Good shots of both bikes.

Saw this on Youtube, I remember watching this race.

My Light Bee is running about the same power as the Drill One, it's kinda ugly compared to the sur ron. The stock battery is choking the performance of the Light Bee, the battery is the biggest bottleneck in the Sur Ron.
 
Uh oh Brunopoweer has Drill One. Man that shock looks like hardly has any travel, hope that linkage works. Interesting the Drill One uses SonyVTC6 cells, those are the same cells on the Litespeed batteries. Very good 18650 battery.
