Between the myths about electric bikes forsa this is the easiest to debunk: It can just try out an electric motorcycle in person. Eliminate preconceptions, arm yourself with genuine curiosity for something radically different and take a ride, as did the riders below that I recently filmed.
My advice is to book a demo rides on Zero site Motorcycles one of its versatile motorbike, also suited to off-road, or look for those that Energica, Maserati and only supplier dela MotoE, also performs in circuit with the version of his track I Vectra.
The lack of clutch and gearbox is true, on the first can cause a certain loss. There are bikes like Tacita that, although electrical, they change. Tuttavia As soon as you understand how the electric motor does not feel the need to have the gears and based on my modest experience the change becomes rather unnatural forcing, a complication not required. But of course that can help you feel more “home”.
So much torque and transient farewell
The immediacy of the couple and the linearity of thrust sufficient to make squirt between one curve with the smile. It seems to be on a missile whistling (because it is not completely free from noise, when acceleration is felt). They deal with the curves more exploiting the support, releasing “the gas” and sliding; is fun as being on a flying carpet. Transients no longer exist and there are far fewer load shifts.
burning Departures
In starting from standstill, and out of the corners there is no endothermic able to keep up with a good electric motorcycle and do not mean to say. Then sull'allungo the big twin-cylinder and four-cylinder still have the upper hand, but driven have to work because, if for example the Zero Motorcycles DSR my long test, it's like having a twin 500 which has the torque of a 1.200 cc always available.
So say it's boring – species without actually trying it – it is rather silly. If anything is a matter of taste, habit to feel certain emotions dates in my opinion more by vibrations such as noise, Another element always brought up as if it were something sacred. In reality it is factors to which we are so accustomed, but in the absence of which you soon get used.
