It’s a surprise to no one that electric motorcycles are here, and they’re here to stay. Apart from reshaping the urban mobility landscape, it turns out that electric motorbikes are really good for off-road use, too. For one thing, they have lots of torque. On top of that, they’re silent, so they don’t rattle residential areas. They’re also less likely to start fires as there are no flames shooting out the exhaust to worry about.
Recent years have brought forth quite a wide selection of off-road-focused electric motorcycles, and at this year’s EICMA, Chinese manufacturer QJ Motor released not one, but two electric off-roaders. Both of these bikes are lightweight off-road specific bikes that are meant to offer an engaging ride on off-road terrain. The first of which is the oddly named OWO, an electric dirtbike that clearly takes inspiration from gasoline-powered enduro machines. It boasts angular bodywork and clean lines all wrapped up in a colorway that will have you second-guessing if what you’re looking at is a Husqvarna.
