Whether you're into speed or sport, there are a number of luxury electric motorcycles out there for you to choose from. You can find a variety of models and styles from brands such as Lightning, Energica Ego+, Tarform, and Curtiss. The best part about them is that they're all designed to perform at a high level.
Curtiss
Designed by Chief Designer JT Nesbitt and Engineer Vinay Valleru, the Curtiss One electric motorcycle is a futuristic piece of American industrial design. The center of the motorcycle's design is a round finned cylinder that houses the battery. This allows the motorcycle to be a fully modular LEV. It also eliminates the need for a weak stub-axle swingarm pivot.
Curtiss has partnered with 3D-printing firm Fast Radius to produce the majority of its motorcycle parts. This will allow the company to produce precision parts on a tight timetable. This will also allow Curtiss to scale up production of the motorcycle quickly.
The Curtiss One is a luxury electric motorcycle that focuses on ergonomics and rider-centered design. The motorcycle has an adjustable footpeg position and is designed to fit any rider. It's also equipped with Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tires on solid carbon wheels.
The motorcycle will be available in a wide range of colors. It will also be offered with two different power options. Its range is estimated to be 160 miles.
Curtiss has a strong commitment to the environment and has committed to reducing carbon emissions. The company has also worked on developing an innovative digital configurator tool called DreamMaker that allows customers to personalize the bike.
The company's new Curtiss One electric motorcycle is set to hit the market later this year. It has a 399 V immersion-cooled system, an Axial Flux motor with a peak output of 120 hp, and Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tires on solid carbon wheels. The motorcycle also features a center-mounted battery that is modular and liquid-cooled.
The Curtiss One is the first of a new series of luxury electric motorcycles from Curtiss. Each model is designed to offer a unique experience for each rider.
Energica Ego+
Energica Ego+ is a luxury electric motorcycle that offers sport bike-like performance with a range of 261 miles. The Ego+ RS is also available, with a mammoth battery that supports a range of 420 km. Energica Ego+ / RS also has a regenerative braking system that uses a patented vehicle control unit to manage power output and regenerative braking.
The Ego has an ergonomic layout and a smooth, linear throttle response that's similar to an internal-combustion motorcycle. The Ego is built to last with a warranty that's expected to last for at least two years. The Ego has four power modes - high, medium, low, and reverse. It also has an optional track/racing kit.
The Ego also features an optional fast charger that can charge the battery from 0 to 85 percent in 20 minutes. The charger can be set from 6 to 13 Amps. The charger can also be configured for DC fast charging. This is possible through a Combo connector that's installed under the seat.
The Ego has an estimated top speed of 150 mph. It has six levels of traction control, and a TFT colour display that's mounted on the handlebars. There's also an adjustable monoshock suspension. Energica's suspension system uses an aluminium swing arm and Bitubo adjustable monoshocks.
The Ego's lithium polymer battery has an impressive 11.7 kWh capacity. It's made up of 400 individual lithium-ion cells. It's only 10mm wider than an R1 battery. The Ego has a range of 123 miles on the straight highway, and an urban range of over 260 miles.
The Ego uses a proprietary vehicle control unit that displays the power output, regenerative braking, and reverse mode. It also has four regen modes.
