What is lacking in the electric motorcycle?

I explained the advantages of the electric bike and I also responded to major myths disseminated on it, but… everything's perfect? Not. This is what is lacking in the electric motorcycle to conquer the 100%

The electric motorcycle is more efficient. From a purely technical point of view there is no history. But this – as already mentioned – It is not a discovery: the qualities of the electric motor were already clear at the time of his invention. Only now, however,, we can exploit them.

Here I have responded to major myths circulating on the electric.

Because a good part of motorcyclists – at the moment – not only it is not attracted, but It is completely refuses to consider a motorcycle.

I myself who are in many ways an enthusiast of the first hour, and even after a year of happy use, I recognize that there is something still missing to reach the “perfection motorcycle”. Ok, what is it?

Taste or character

All They are trying to discredit it by finding a scientific basis, but the truth is that from the rational point of view there is the belief that takes: the electric motorcycle is more efficient, punto, We have to stick in memory.

The area where it is lacking and “attachable”, instead, and the personality, a factor that is of no value if we are talking of a small car, scooter or skateboard, but for us motorcyclists instead count. This understandably leads us to a distrustful attitude.

The electric bike is fun, piacevole… sincerely go around is a blast. It is neither slow, or boring, it is cheap, It does not break and no maintenance. What is lacking is an intangible aspect.

We know from experience that a four-cylinder in-line behaves in a way, a V-twin in another and a mono in yet another, while the electric is… elettrico.

Then there will be the electric bike is better and what is worse, and today I can play with the app to set all parameters but, alla fine dei conti, the electric motor does not have its own personality. Although it may be fun to give it the desired character at the desired time, for people like me who has always loved engines, This is tough to swallow a toad.

A life with blinders or…

For future generations of motorcyclists probably will not be as, noi we live in the price of a transition between what we were and what we will be.

We can not put blinders on and invent excuses or reasons and myths to justify the rejection of this technology. We seek rather to understand it, appreciate the advantages and make it even better, Also for our taste.

  1. I agree with you on almost everything. The electric is a great "innovation" in this area, hard to digest because it smacks right on the emotional component, emotional, which it is the basis of the motorcycle world probably more than in other sectors.
    That said, today could cover my needs for urban mobility but not be able to cover those biker. To date the electrical forces to adapt to the limits, or characteristics you prefer, the same technology as in the case dell'endotermico is the bike that suits us. And this is, per me, it still makes a difference.

  2. In my opinion the electricity is particularly interesting right on two wheels! The urban mobility could benefit greatly in every sense. But unfortunately already they think they fill us with electric cars, so apart from a little’ more than silence, we will have the same life unbearable because of traffic, of all space occupied by the bulkier vehicles and continued investment of pedestrians and cyclists. All this unless drastic changes of mindset, which, however, will not take place spontaneously by the population and to the limit must be imposed from above…

    Premesso ciò, What is lacking in the electric motorcycle?

    For me at present lacking only the autonomy. I speak mainly of motoviaggiatore, so I would need a convenient way and with considerable autonomy (for the moment there are no electric touring bikes).
    For the rest, I believe that the electric bike do not miss anything. Like the extreme mechanical simplicity of the electric motorcycles and their low cost of maintenance.

    When the batteries will come to weigh less we will have motorcycles even lighter than those with internal combustion engines, so will also be pleased fans of extreme performance that currently criticize the electric two-wheeled vehicles.

  3. Moto or electric scooters? YOU ALL LIFE is now ! I have designed a bag for helmet helmets for those who have "open" to supply the various electric scooter models that have no place for helmets in sottaella which houses the battery.. I've already tried several and you have to admit they are fantastic in all their aspects noise 0 pollution 0 consumption almost zero maintenance 0 w electric .
