For many of us performance motorcycling enthusiasts, a proper electric sportbike is what many of us have been waiting for in order to fully embrace the electrification of our beloved two-wheelers. While bikes like these well and truly exist thanks to brands like Zero and Energica, motorbikes like the Ego are still well beyond the reach of most average riders' budgets.
Luckily, manufacturers from Asia are also working on electric platforms geared towards performance. We're seeing it take shape with Kawasaki's electric concepts, as well as several Indian electric two-wheelers like the Ultraviolette. Chinese manufacturers are joining the game, too, with one of China's biggest manufacturers, QJ Motor, unveiling a new electric sportbike geared towards beginners. It's called the RX and it claims to be a 125cc equivalent electric sportbike. Sure, a 125cc machine isn't what we'd associate with performance, but it certainly paves the way for more performance-oriented models in the near future.
