The Electric Motorcycle Thread

did the brakes function? did anything feel weird or out of place? how was the power delivery? did it feel heavy? did the bike jerk you off while you rode? was there any thing you didn't like about it? or was it all sunshine and rainbows?

I just took it for a loop around the block, and yes, it is a proper sportbike. The acceleration with electric drivetrain is pretty deceptive because the power is fully available at zero rpm and linear and smooth. The power delivery is utterly different that my R6 with no additional boost with increasing rpm. This one had the power output turned down, so no scary shit. It felt about the same as my R6 in terms of weight.

Sunshine and rainbows. I like.

The magic of google translate:
Revx is a new category of electric motorcycles. We have prepared for you in Bohemia a constructed and manufactured electric motorcycle.

Does our new RevX really set new standards for electric motorcycles?

Is it really that our bike has qualities like no other? So let's think about it together. Above all, it is the weight and manner of the drive that allows you to think of a motorbike differently than you were used to. It is electric, light and compact overall, easy to transport and park. Never mind that you are in the city center and you do not have a garage. Take our fable to your home. It's electric, you don't have to worry about oil leaks. It weighs only 47 kg, it is beautiful, storage, you can put it in the living room or put it in the hall. You take him in a family car. Don't have much time, do a lot of work and want to ride? RevX is ready at any time.

Are you afraid of a classic motorbike because it will come too strong and heavy? This is definitely not our RevX. At the same time, it has enough power, which is very well dosed and predictable thanks to the electric motor drive. It is lightweight and manageable. You will see that you really enjoy the ride. Are you afraid that you will provoke the surrounding noise and you will not be able to ride? Our bike is purely electric and therefore very quiet. You will arouse interest and not aggression. Do you have sports ambitions? Then look at the components used, focus on the power / power ratio, and think about the electric motor's torque characteristics, far above the gasoline engine, and available from zero speed.

Take a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, take our RevX with you and see! Take a little bag with you and explore the places you wouldn't otherwise be in. Take a break early in the morning and let the neighbors sleep. You will go so quietly that you will not wake them up. It's just up to you how to enjoy the ride on our electric motorcycle. That's how we designed and constructed our bike. For you and all occasions.

Let's think about its performance and usability

Clearly, data and numbers are important. But let's think about what our RevX brings to the experience and what the numbers actually mean to it.

For us, natural handling, controllable performance and driving pleasure are paramount. We want the ride to make you feel completely natural. And everything is really designed to work like that. And no matter how much you have motorcycle riding experience. This was the greatest design challenge for us.

RevX has the greatest possible and achievable battery capacity. Go discover the surroundings, enjoy a ride. Relax, stretch your back, have a snack. Just as you go on a classic bike. And our RevX allows you to ride and enjoy more than three hours. Take a trip in difficult terrain for just 20 km. And believe that you will really have enough. And our battery will still have enough power. Our RevX is not a machine for long trips through the countryside, but it can take you even ten minutes away. You get tired before you do it. Do you like fierce and technical excursions or other enduro pleasures? With our fable you really enjoy it. You will always have enough controllable power.

Is RevX Really Fast?

It really is. Take a look at the technical parameters and focus on weight and power ratios and add the characteristics of the electric motor.

Can I go with him to the motocross track?

Of course yes. And it will be fun and you will enjoy it. Can my 12-year-old son, daughter or my wife ride RevX? Of course yes. And it will be easier and safer for them than on a classic bike. RevX is easy to use, predictable and very natural.

And what we said about our new bike is a power and a performance for us.


That's pretty cool looks like its in the same class as the Light Bee. The Hybrid motorcycle/mtb class of bikes is definitely on the rise. Next thing we'll have 2WD hybrid bikes.

Says it is 47kg which is about 103lbs. That's lighter than the Light Bee.

Says 20km over rough terrain. that's about 12 miles. I can vouch the Light Bee can do about 20 miles on rough terrain.

BTW I raced an Alta Redshift MX with my Light Bee in the Sportman class during Supermoto USA Round 4 HAHA I got murdered. I didn't let him lap me though!

I was so close to getting an alta before they went under. Too bad they couldn't stay afloat
 
It remains the only proper electric dirt bike. I'd buy one right now if not for that whole pesky money thing.

Same here I did a demo at Metcalf and I rode Butch's last year and it's a hoot. I wish it were a bit smaller but I guess I can't complain because Butch is shorter than me haha. I bought the Light Bee because it was cheaper like much cheaper but you can't even compare the two bikes.
 
It's also not the same category at all, but I really like the half mc/mtb options right now, especially for the diy'er with companies like Qulbix and Vector selling just the frames.
 
Whoa check this out the White Ghost is coming out soon! The White Ghost was a project that Sur Ron was working on building an electric street motorcycle. It looks like they've handed it off to Voge and it's nearly ready for production. The specs are actually really similar to the Light Bee. 60volts 6000watts. They're sayong $4800 prive tag that's about as much as the Light Bee!

I had to look up Voge...

http://www.chinavoge.com/company.html

The pursuit of freedom in all aspects is the brand concept advocated by VOGE all the time. To be a model brand and to ignite the flame of freedom and passion of riders are always the goal of VOGE .
Not only that, the design style of VOGE motorcycle is integrated with the element of optimism and free, that everyone can always pursue freedom and passion. The ripples in the Logo are like the folds blown by the wind, symbolizing the freedom. The three lines represent fun, aggressive and freedom, which are the main concept of VOGE design. The triangular appearance also symbolizes the stability of VOGE brand.
VOGE contains advanced design, high-end configuration, reasonable price. It has always been adhering to the brand core concept— reliable, unique, worthy to design, create and develop the world’s most iconic design, the top performance and the most advanced motorcycle.
We don't just make motorcycles, we create passion, we chase freedom, we look forward to the future.
 
And then there’s Vector:
Vector Vortex is ultimate off-road e-bike! With 10.000 Watt motor located in the middle of the frame it has perfect weight balance! Frame is big enough for two persons ride! Vortex has so much torque you can do burnouts all day long and climb the steepest mountains you can find!

Ha! I say.
