Interesting design. 🤔 Of course the first thing I'd like to know is the range per charge, and how quick a recharge is. RE has been working on a prototype electric Himalayan, and you can't do proper ADV touring without decent range. So perhaps this little flea has benefited from lessons learned with the Himalayan development.

My Ouija board says Philip Vincent approves the front fork. I bet he wishes he'd had access to that casting technology in 1950. It really does look a lot more like a mini-Vincent than an original FF.

Girder forks? There is a reason that they were replaced by telescopics 75 years ago. They're forged by the way, it would be difficult to keep the unsprung weight down with a casting.

Electric bikes are usually heavier, the heaviness of the batteries is one of the reasons they're limited by range at the moment but you hardly notice the weight because the power and torque is so instantaneous

Wow Saffy - lovely to see your smiling face 1st thing in the morning! The FF looks great and I'm whilst the guys at Maeving are probably most worried, I can see this succeeding where Livewire has so far failed. Small, light EBs make good sense - especially in urban areas - and it's going to be interesting to see how this bold, innovative design fares in the future.

Yes! They said they're going to focus on 300-700cc bikes, with the idea of it being a 'city-plus' bike. So you can ride it around cities, but also take small 1 hour kinda day trips outside of the city, he gave the example of Lake Como!

Aesthetically it looks great doesn't it. The problem with electric bikes is that skinny, usually means a small battery pack aka small range. As a motorcyclist and also a designer it occurs to me that electric motorcycles need to be built around a larger capacity battery, rather than being built to look what we all see as a traditional motorcycle. Building a battery pack to the same size and scale of an internal combustion engine in the frame just doesn't leave enough space for a decent amount of batteries to give any kind of range. I would imagine this bike will have a range somewhere between 50 and 80 miles, and that will be on a summers day with a small rider.
@SaffySprocket12 күн бұрын
I always think it's a shame that all the electric bike companies don't work together to create a standardised system where people could pull up somewhere and swap the battery out for a ready charged one
