Top 12 Electric Superbikes and Sports Motorcycles that Exist Today

The Energica electric streetfighter fits this bill perfectly. It has the same linear 215 Nm torque at the Ego, the same 21.5 kW long-range lithium-ion battery with up to 400 km of city range, the same suspension and performance options, and all of the technological amenities.

[@MusicbyLou]

The prices are outrageous and 3.9 seconds to 60 with a meager 125 mile range is absurdly impractical. The only way EVs will beat ICEs is to get realistic about meeting the general consumer's needs rather than some uber-rich racing enthusiast's wants. Let's get real - please!

[@wizardrhyme9597]

I dont know many people that would want to go more than 125.miles in one go on a superbike

[@ag135i]

They are more focused on performance rather than practicality, who drives and where at top speed and for how long? Other than racers on race track. Most people who drive regularly don't even know and use the top speed of their vehicles.

" 3.9 seconds to 60 with a meager 125 mile range" that's perfectly practical if what you're looking for is a machine that would get you to and back from work every day. I would go for it if the price would be reasonable.

[@chuckkoehler9526]

I hope Emflux One is able to produce an affordable E-bike and sell them worldwide as their specs seem quite unbelievable at that price point, but maybe they will have several models that will range in price and specs. I wonder how close they are to having low production and selling to a market.

A lot of these look cool, I personally want an Energica EVA or a Zero SR/F as my next bike but superbike specifically referes to a race developed 1000cc three or four cylinder bike or 1300cc two cylinder. You can't just call an electric naked sport bike a superbike.

[@automotiveterritory]

Those are really nice already but let's hope that the research and advancements of electric motorcycles continue.

[@rsajay6256]

I don't live in the US, Tesla are not available here where I live, and I can't be bothered to Google prices, but isn't the Lito Soda about the same price as a Tesla Model S P100D?

[@gordonanderson3111]

Tractions speak louder than words. So all my (yet to be even close to being built) "eelectrick" bikes have 2 wheel drive, hobs motors with electric braking, that has the advantage of not wearing out the brake pads along with other features.

[@josephdanmathis1876]

The most energy-dense batteries ever conceived are made of graphene, a material strong enough to build a space elevator. The question isn't, why e-bikes aren't lighter? The question is, why can't e-bikes fly?

[@snakeman9902]

As we are in the early stages of electric bikes, one can only hope that you will get more miles on a single charge, or maybe what some cars are doing now, with a self charge battery? Also, that the price will come down and be more affordable..

[@automotiveterritory]

Well, cars have more space for batteries, so they tend to have better ranges. As for the energy recuperation, many electric motorcycles have this technology too.

[@snakeman9902]

@@automotiveterritory cars have more space for batteries? Didn't know that.. Batteries are getting more advanced so hopefully they will get stronger.. 100 miles on a full battery or less in some circumstances are not a great seller to me, maybe to other bikers, it is only my opinion..

[@automotiveterritory]

All of the underbody space in modern electric cars is used for storing batteries, in motorcycles the amount of free space is just too limited.

[@tisurmaster]

I want something light, long range, and max speed of 110 mph. That's the sweet spot. Make it affordable and the mass would go for it. There should be economy, daily, sports, and off-road offerings.

[@automotiveterritory]

[@automotiveterritory]

Which one did you like the most?

[@claudebaron9525]

I’m absolutely in love with the lightning strike !!........ well not exactly, it’s more with the 218 ls but the price is out of range, but the strike now ! That’s reachable. First think about it , it’s electric so very very advanced but it’s the same prices as a regular gas motorcycle, things that most pepoles don’t get is that all motorcycle enthusiasts have about the same goals, and we all like to custom ours baby like we like , exemple pick any sportbike fans and ask him if he would like to have a olhins shock on their bike , most of themes will answer ‘’ thanks GOD ‘’ and then ask themes about ohlins forks? Now they’re just falling on theirs knees 😂😂 some brembo calipers to go with that !!!...... what I means is that all theses are things a sportbikes would like to had to their baby but on strike it’s already all theirs it’s like picking a bike with all the best goodies you’ve ever wish already on it it’s like a dream come true. And think about that if you buy a ohlins shock for ( let’s say a Kawasaki ZX-10 but any compagny would do ) it’s around 1500 to 2000 $ and a set of forks is at least 3000$ and it’s really at least but probably a bit more, then a set of brembo calipers is around 2000$ the dash on this is 2000$ also and if you pick the top of the models it came in carbon fibre with a more powerful battery but just for the carbon fibres parts have you ever noticed how many small parts of carbon fibres theirs is on any sportbikes you see park on any streets ?, motorcycle fans simply love this and any little bits of it is a pure delight so the top one comes with a full body carbon fibres if you would want to put a full body on a zx-10 it will cost you another 3000$ or so . So if you think of it what I just say all the goodies combined is worth more than 12,000$ and the strike top model is 20,000$ it means that all the rest ,the electric concept ,batteries, all of it cost you around 8,000$ !????? That’s seems pretty cheap to me. 😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍

These bikes are all super expensive. I notice that most of them all use some sort of lithium battery. Keep in mind that mining for lithium is a super dirty environmental process. It is not green by any means. Don’t fool yourself by thinking it is. If you drive one, don’t use the environmental base. Part of the fun of riding a bike is for the sound and freedom, not for being stuck to a charge cord and about as much soul as a cellphone.

they need to outlaw electric vehicles. they get around 8mpg. and if everyone starts plugging them in no one will have electricity for anything else. No current electric grid can handle the needed extra required electricity. So tax payers will get saddled for the Tillion dollar electric grid upgrades and electricity prices will sky rocket. Gas prices will probably go up because the electricity providers will be buying it all up to power your 8mpg electric vehicles.
