Bikes for sale are set to change dramatically. The new buzz word in the industry is e-motorbikes. For the last year or so electric superbikes have become big news. The launch of the impressive Mission One, made by Mission Motors, has created a realisation in the industry that motorbikes are well suited to embrace electric motor technology. However a new manufacturer has launched a bike that could surpass the Mission One.
The Mission One, run completely from electric batteries, clocked an impressive 161 mph on a speed test and showed the world that electric motorbikes can be powerful and sexy. The problem with the mission one is that it has very expensive price tag to go with the cutting edge technology. At $69,000 you have to be very wealthy to move into the new era of motorbike technology. However Roehr Motorcycles has just announced the eRoehr. An electric motorbike made for the mass-market. Prices start from $14,995 for the eSupersport. The eSupersport gives 48 horsepower at 8000 rpm with a 105 pound-feet of torque. The eSuperbike is the same bike but with twice the motors, twice the power, for twice the price. In a great idea by the Roehr team you can upgrade the eSupersport to the eSuperbike specifications after you have tested out the electric bike and decided whether you need more power. The Roehr team have also gone further with a promise that the bike 100% maintenance free and the company claim that it ran for 10 years non-stop. If true this means that finding and haggling for motorcycle spares will be a thing of the past.
The future of biking could well be electric.
