Torque figures - for a motorcycle especially - rank alongside ‘brake horsepower’ as among the most prominent numbers you’ll see when reading up on a petrol-fuelled motorcycle.īut while mechanical torque varies depending on how it is set-up with every ICE model, every electric motorcycle is equipped with a full 100% of torque all the time.
Experienced riders might find it trickier to adapt than novices.All riders should take caution initially to acclimatise to surge.100% torque available for instant acceleration.Those are the basics, now you can focus on the key considerations - both on the motorcycle and out on the road - one must take when riding an electric motorcycle or electric scooter for the first time.Īre electric bikes as powerful and torquey as regular bikes? Nevertheless, the fundamentals of riding a motorcycle or scooter safely - such as the ‘lifesaver check’ - where you are permitted to take one remain in place.įor anyone who has ridden a ‘twist and go’ style model, an EV’s similar gearbox-less technique will seem very familiar, albeit perhaps a little unusual to replicate the action on a larger model. Yes, it is different… but rest assured, the physics of riding an electric motorcycle or scooter should only require a few adjustments that won’t take long to get used to in a physical sense. Is riding an electric motorcycle different to riding an ICE motorcycle? Interviewing both the CTO and Sales & Marketing Director gave us quite the insight into how this 12-year-old Italian company, and here’s the full article and accompanying video. Recently, we went behind-the-scenes at one of the most influential, dedicated EV companies – Energica – who up until know have plied their expertise with motorcycling but who have ambitions to provide the complete powertrain to manufacturers of other vehicles, including boats or cars.
