Eric seems pretty practical about this whole thing and I appreciate that, the best thing in my mind for electric vehicles is something people can just simply use in normal situations. Off road electric bikes are very cool but I feel like most people need a city/suburban commuter than they need a dirt bike.
@arjenbootsma688111 ай бұрын
Absolutely beautiful bike, and Erik Buell is a brilliant bike builder. However, what I've learned is that the seat height is about 30", and that's simply too low for my 6'5" / 36" inseam frame; that's pretty much the only reason I haven't ordered the Fflow yet. Now, if Fuell offers an accessory tall seat (at least 2" higher), I'll order it in a heart beat!
@fuellmobility11 ай бұрын
Thank you Arjen, love to hear this. Regarding the height, the Fllow is designed to support a weight capacity of up to 350 lbs (159kgs) and accommodate riders with a maximum height of 1.90m / 6'2". However, during testing, we had an individual with a height of 1.92m /6'3" try it out and they felt quite comfortable.

This bike is ahead of it’s time, Erik mentioned Gas combustion engines WILL be banned from many cities. He is correct and it’s coming faster than we think. Ulev zones and Full electric Zones are coming. He’s just preparing for what’s coming. Love the bike. Great job Hopefully This bike takes off and takes over the market. I’m not a fan of electric Vehicles but it’s inevitable. Plus I’ve always loved the Old Buells and Erik’s fighting spirit.

Well I am saddened of an iconic American motorcycle brand moving production to Thailand and he will be hired by Carlos Ghosn, as to say this man is truly qualified, as I see a bunch of people voting for Donald Trump to end up seeing Erik Buell being in charge of Harley-Davidson, I believe Donald Trump has close connections with Japan; but hey when Donald Trump be in charge Carlos Ghosn will let Erik Buell take stir of the ship of Harley-Davidson as Carlos will end up from Milwaukee to Tokyo State prison during the second Donald Trump presidency.

Thanks for the Fuell Fllow overview! Love the sleek style and the specs look perfect for my daily work commute. I'm really looking forward to some independent review/testing videos once you have the final prototype. Until then, can you provide any details concerning what testing standard was used to determine the range of 180 miles? EPA? WLTP? Custom?
@varangertankar11 ай бұрын
Very interesting bike. Top speed is ok, accelleration and range seems promising (allthough; what range will there be on the highway?). Electric motorcycles has not kicked off yet, and I believe that range is an important issue. Like the hub motor and don`t like the sound of other electric bikes with chains or belts. If it`s supposed to be silent, it should really be as silent as possible. Lots of people in the EV-country of Norway follow this bike with excitement now. But how will you sell it in other countries? Through dealership or direct export? Other thoughts: Seems difficult to mount a luggage tray behind, which could be handy, some mud guard behind also seems necessary, and I would really like to have a better sport tour fairing, for a combination of a better aerodynamic effect and wind protection. Still wonder how easy or difficult it will be to put on after market parts.

I drive an electric car so I know the instant torque of electric. Also a lot of chatter about the app and the paywall after a year. So long as the app functions to unlock and start the bike thats all most people will need so keep that free and most will be happy. Congrats on this design!

Lots of neat things about this Fuell, but here in dear old Blighty (UK) where it rains more than once in a blue moon, I would like a rear mudguard that covers the whole of the rear wheel under the seat, not just a few inches-worth to hang the number plate on. Looks as if you've made the same mistake as Zero in this department...Of course, on a more fundamental level I'd love to see a properly aerodynamic version, with a recumbent seating position, like Dan Gurney's Alligator of 2001 and Tig Cross's Electrom superpedelec FF of today. With the right bodywork you could double the range using the same battery. Talking of which, you didn't mention the size of the battery in kWh - kilowatt-hours - a key figure. Also, you did mention two levels of horsepower, but I strongly suspect you got the lower figure wrong - you said '11 horsepower' but you surely mean 11kW not 11bhp - the Euro limit for new riders is 11kW, which is 15bhp. PNB
@kenhoward35129 ай бұрын
As Erik said (admitted), range and recharging infrastructure are the main resistance to EV sales, and it looks like that's one problem he hasn't solved. He does emphasize that the FUELL Fllow is designed for commuting, and it seems it should succeed at that, but for longer rides at higher speeds, for motorcycle enthusiasts rather than commuters, we're still going to have to wait some number of years for better batteries to arrive.
@emc4TW8 ай бұрын
Mostly true. But consider that you could ride from LA to Santa Barbara and back on a single charge on the new Evoke 6061-GT due to it's massive near 30 kWh battery pack. And there are about 30 charging stations inbetween. So, price is the main resistance for riders like me in CA. I put my order in for the Fllow as its specs will be perfect for my daily commute and the price was right.

The concept is a very good one. Traditional 400 lbs commuter bike that looks like a classic naked. Some early electric motorcycles which time has passed can no longer get replacement batteries.

Yes! Per Fuell's website the Fllow has a modular design. "The battery pack, rear wheel motor, and fast charging socket can all be upgraded to your preferences, and the software will receive regular upgrades, to match the latest advancements and push the boundaries even further."

I don't think I will be getting one till it's more proven, £10k is a bit much for me and I do need a bit more than just a vehicle for urban commuting, I'll probably pick up one of the honda twins (probably a used cb500x, new is a bit out my budget haha) or a car at this point(I'm 50/50), but it will be intresting to see where this goes. It's great to see that it has CCS though and I love the focus on charging rate, which is the main thing I see a lot of EV motorcycle companies skipping out on. It's also good to see a restricted version being released for A1/CBT holders(I hope since it's a software block they can get it removed if they decide to upgrade tho)
