There’s a funny thing happening in the world of electric two-wheelers. The line between e-bike and motorcycle is getting blurrier by the day, and manufacturers seem perfectly happy to keep smudging it. That’s how we ended up with machines like the new Juiced Nomadix, a lightweight electric dirt bike that costs just $2,500 and somehow promises up to 20 horsepower and a top speed of 70 miles per hour.
At first glance, it’s tempting to call it an electric bicycle. It’s compact, lightweight, and shares more visual DNA with a Sur-Ron than a Honda CRF. But let’s be serious for a second. A machine capable of 70 miles per hour and packing 280 pound-feet of torque isn’t an e-bike in any meaningful sense of the word. It may not be a full-fledged motorcycle in the traditional sense either, but it’s parked a whole lot closer to the motorcycle side of the spectrum.
