Electric motorcycles are here, and they’re here to stay. This is a reality that seems difficult to come to terms with, but is one that the global motorcycle industry is embracing with open arms. As we already know, a lot of countries have goals of phasing out gas engines completely in little over a decade, and so manufacturers are incentivized more than ever to produce electric vehicles.
There are quite a number of exciting prospects in the electric motorcycle market, especially for folks like me who prefer performance-oriented machines as opposed to commuter-focused scooters. While powerful electric motorcycles with performance equivalent to 650cc to 700cc motorcycles are far and few in between, there have been a bunch of new 125cc-equivalent sportbikes and naked bikes launched in the market. This naturally means that more powerful electric powertrains are being developed, and it’s only a matter of time until we see electric motorcycles get a lot faster and more affordable, too.
