We Tour EVOKE Bike Factory

The guys at EVOKE Bikes in Beijing gave me a short tour of their factory to preview their current and upcoming bikes. Reach out to them, they are already selling overseas! Next trip, we will try and drive one...(it was about -10 on the day we visited!)

Thanks for coming by Elliot. It was great to host you and we appreciate sharing our dream and vision with your viewers.

Love this behind the scenes videos 😊

[@kumbackquatsta]

loving the new content

[@pieterfourie4983]

Great video thanks Elliot. Also love that 6061! I'm so over these noisy mechanical crotch rockets. Would love to hear more information about the 6061 too when they are ready to produce and ship them. Please do a follow up on those bikes later then, and it'll also give you time to get a licence for bikes :-)
Ps. That 6061 suits you well!

Really interesting to see behind the scenes of these places.
It's a shame that the step from developing ideas to getting them into production and out to customers is very much harder!

[@examinerian]

Nice video! I like the superbike style, would go for the street cruiser 6061, but REALLY like the Scrambler idea - I'm a fan of the Triumph and Ducati ones in particular. To be fair, there aren't many petrol bikes that can go 400 miles / 600km on a single tank, so the one shown would immediately become one of the higher-range bikes out there, just hopefully as comfy as, say, an ST1300 on longer runs, otherwise you'd get off with your nether regions a bit numb...😖

[@cafedetaro]

this video deserves so many more views, the 6061 has been my dream bike ever since I heard about it.

[@GambrellRenard]

we will have them available for test rides in the US soon!

Imagine, Evoke Motorcycles is not supporting buyers of the much simpler Urban models which are broken. Having a such sophisticated product from Evoke Motorcycles will be a dream forever.

36 h p is what the first v w bugs had .its enough power for a car .

[@pinkelephants1421]

😂😂😂 You're not small Elliot, but that bike is so beefy that it makes you look like a wee gnome in his beanie hat sitting on it!

[@electricelliotrichards]

😂

[@paulnewman2000]

0:44 Nuts that this (same bike as the red one behind him) has a continuous output of 11 KW, and can therefore be ridden on a CBT and L plates. The mentioned 25 hp is peak power, not continuous.

[@mev202]

Is this filmed in a library? Just wondering why you're whispering. Lol. Great to see the rate of development on electric bikes. I do love a girthy beast

[@kumbackquatsta]

please develop a light weight supermoto style ecycle

[@honesty_-no9he]

First.

[@martinemch6715]

Do not risk your money ordering something from Evoke. There are lots of customer waiting for their bike, others waiting for help for broken delivered bikes. Even the much simpler Evoke Urban bikes have lots of issues and there is no support. Ask for a satisfied customer on social media.

[@Checkmate025]

600 km from a bike out of that workshop? Yeah right.. get outta here

[@GambrellRenard]

feel free to visit us in Las Vegas and Chicago for a test ride when the 6061-GT is available. We currently have Urban Classics available.

[@Angusoksen]

Please stop glorifying this company unless you have tried and compared them to something like Zero, Energica, Harley livewire and other established Electric bike companies. The quality, fit and finish is much higher on these brands than these toys. the livewire has 5 times the power output than these, and still has an realistic range of 160km with 15kwh battey. I don't believe in 180km range with 10kwh battery. thats city only then.

[@electricelliotrichards]

Hey Angus - I have not had a chance to ride them yet - I was just invited to explore a company doing interesting things in China. EV motorbikes are very rare/not being developed here as much as overseas so I wanted to see what the set up was like. I would love to try the others all in good time (need to get a license first).

[@GambrellRenard]

We invite you to come to Las Vegas and ride the Urban Classic. We also have test ride events scheduled in Atlanta, Portland, Chicago, San Antonio, and Miami.

[@Evokemotorcycles]

As you mentioned, having 5 times more power output means 5 times more power consumption, and thereby using up stored capacity in the battery 5 times faster. Power consumption comes from a mix between power control, weight, rolling resistance, wind, elevation, and a host of other factors.
All of our vehicles have up to 14 hours of stored riding data and from real world customers, we regularly hit over 180km on our 10kWh pack.
