What we have here may look like a futuristic electric motorcycle—sort of like an electric evocation of the Honda Grom. Howvever, underneath its sporty, futuristic exterior, the Velocifero Jump is a surprisingly barebones electric two-wheeler. Velocifero is a new player in the e-mobility space, and is a brand under the Chinese manufacturer Taizhou. The new electrci two-wheeler is set to be unveiled in all its glory at EICMA 2022.
At a glance, the Jump is an eye catching machine thanks to its radical exposed frame. It gives off an illusion of agility and lightness, as the center of the bike is rather slim, housing nothing more than the battery. This is because the Jump is equipped with a rear hub motor. Now, I'm sure a lot of you have lost interest in this bike upon learning it's powered by a hub motor, and I understand why. Hub motors present quite a few issues when it comes to performance, and chief of which is handling. You see, hub motors are heavy, and are mounted onto the wheel of the bike. This makes of heavy unsprung weight and an uneven weight distribution.
