- For this product showcase we spoke to Niels Willems, Founder and Commercial
Director of Brekr, to learn about the Brekr Model B, a new electric bike (45 km per
hour) with a striking design.
The Brekr Model B has several unique features. Its design which combines
yesteryears with today and tomorrows’ design. With no gas tank, because is runs on
electricity, and the design always placing the batteries as low as possible, this gives
a low point of gravity and great riding characteristics.
Other special features include the unique sound. It can be switched on or off and
goes up in pitch and volume as you accelerate. It warns cyclists and pedestrians as
the bike approaches and therefore provides comfort and reassurance to the Brekr
rider. More interesting features are mentioned in the video.

I would like to have seen the bike.
We only saw it behind his knees, or in fleeting glimpses. Just a short tour around it would have been nice.
Brekr also has lots of promo video on their social media. I'm sure they could have used some as b-roll here.
It might be that they’re not actually producing them in any quantity yet but may have built these two prototypes to see what reaction they get from the market…
@@philtucker1224 no they are definitely on sale in the Netherlands
We have been building the mopeds for over a year and they are now for sale in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Soon in France and Luxemburg. We hope to be able to expand further soon. Getting parts is a challenge right now.
I've been a fan of Brekr ever since I saw one in a store in The Hague. Being Dutch, I can't help
feeling mighty proud of the company. Well done 👍
I do hope Brekr do move into larger e-motorbikes in the not too distant future.
Are you based in the UK?
Would like to see the BREKR in person?
We will be displaying the First and Only BREKR in the UK for the Vehicle Electrification Expo!
29th & 30th June 2022 at the NEC, Birmingham, UK.
Come see us on Stand 17-610.
This bike is powered by our advance battery technology and sophisticated motor controller.
You can use our kit to convert or build your own Electric Vehicle from the ground up!
Very cool. Would love to ride this around California.
Yep, 1 or 101, to San Diego 😁👍... will be more than 100km 🤣
motorbikes are really knocking out of the park at the moment. just in terms of looking at the product from scratch. some lovely design here
I drove a BREKR in Rotterdam and talked with the designers. Specially the subtle noice option is excellent. Very nice people and very cool bike.
Never heard of this bike before, good showcase.
I have been enjoyed, so thank you for delivering.
Please don’t forget US across the pond. As gas prices go up this would be great to have. Thank you for building such a great product that is desperately needed.
US is car land. Mopeds will just end up becoming bumper decoration before long. Stroads and everything. A product of atleast Ultraviolet F77's standard is needed for those kind of City designs.
Great video guys
You are a good presenter. Looking forward to seeing more of you in videos.
Des
Love their design!
I want 2 .Great videos
A proper look and full review is needed now. From this quick look, it's great. Take all fossil vehicles off the roads, and then the bike will reach its proper potential.😉 Thanks for the introduction. 🙂👍
Looks amazing
beautiful bikes. i love the seats.
Have been following Brekr on social media since the start and they are just gorgeous machines. I would be very tempted to get one were they available in North America, BUT... the problem with these moped/scooter type bikes for me is that when you ride them it seems to me you would be limited to riding them on roads with cars - and all the danger and exhaust fumes that come along with that. Whereas an e-bike you can also use on mixed use paths and through parks. Now, of course this is going to vary from city to city, depending on how they are built.
Yes, Netherlands lets mopeds ride on cycle lanes and the cycle lanes are really wide and segregated.
More countries need to do this.
Cars are overated and people are lazy and hate change...we're doomed.
I Ride an Onyx RCR in NYC, here you can ride pretty much anywhere (no sidewalks.) I’d love to try this bike as well.
@@JCNY718 here in Toronto, the Martin Goodman Trail that runs along the lakeshore only allows pedal assist e-bikes. I think the Onyx is pedal assist? Technically? Sweet looking bike, btw. But the Brekr wouldn't qualify.
@@adamlytle2615 onyx does have peddles but no assist, the bike is super heavy to pedal. The peddles are their more to comply with regulations.
its way too damn large and unmaneuverable. cut one of the wheels off and it would be way better
The "tank" is there for practical reasons to do with positioning and control. Even petrol bikes with the petrol stored elsewhere almost always have a "tank".
Love this concept defiantly would like to pursue buying one once the auk opens up
Seems like a sweet bike. I want to build something like this one day. Only starting to learn welding so I'm abit off yet but someday.
I want one!
The very first customization of this bike will be hinging the seat frame at the front and resting the seat on top of the battery box.
With a small pad at the rear fender, and some highway pegs on the frame. Making it into an "eLowrider"
But just as it is, it's a nice looking bike for sure. Digging that Army Green.
Does anyone know what category of motorbike it was fall into for the UK? I assume 50cc equivalent?
Yes, if Jack can do a review while at the RAI event that would be much appreciated.
Bonjour, je viens de découvrir votre marque que je trouve vraiment super! Mais j'ai une question: le modèle B n'a pas de pédales, ce n'est donc pas un vélo électrique?
interesting concept for this segment. Still I am a more bicycle person. This a good proposal for a larger daily commute..
What is the bike rated at ? So what sort of licence do you need?
UK question, although people may answer for other territories, What licenses/tests will you need to drive something like this as opposed to the e-scooters? (BTW - I think the design is elegantly logical)
Just a driver's license.
You need an A1 motorcycle license in the UK unless you passed your driving test before 1 February 2001
These will sell well in the city. I rode the new BMW CEO-4 and was impressed with its design. Way too expensive though at £11.5K!
very cool
Love the design and I'm very much looking forward for small electro motorbikes' parity with the petrol propelled ones. I however can't see any reason to buy something much more expensive and heavier than an electric bicycle. The speeds, range and effort are pretty much the same, but you need a license, can't take it with you on a train and when you run out of the batteries, you're simply done, you can't get to your destination and need a helping hand from someone else. What do I not see?
Yep these are limited to a pretty small niche at the moment, IMO. The example of Gogoro in Asia with its network of battery swap stations does point to a way forward I think, but hard to say if anything like that will ever come about in Europe/UK -- and it seems even less likely for North America.
Are those real bikes or 3D printed for show?
Why no promo video on how great it rids?
They are definitely an actual thing, plenty of video on the company's social media. Very weird they didn't think to include any here.
If only youngsters could change their noisy ear-torturer two wheelers with this kind of machines.
The people who benefit the most, can least afford these. 50cc bikes are very cheap.
I was at Fully Charged just yesterday in San Diego and I saw someone with the Brekr. I was immediately sold on it but is it available in the US yet? Their site only lists Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany as possible countries/regions.
When is Jack going to test some e-motorbikes? One bike I'd like to see him review is the Super Soco TCMax.
Stark vark, is the one I what to see
Was just thinking about "gas tank" issue with the new Harley livewire. Probably being used for storage but it really just seems like a grill on an electric car. Like it is left there so it doesn't look 'weird'/different than what people are used to.
No. Petrol bikes with the petrol stored elsewhere (which is probably most bikes these days) usually have a "tank" because they're needed to control the bike and for the rider to control their position on the bike.
5k€!!! As soon as I heard that my response was ‘is that all!?’ I was expecting way more.
We never got a good look at this seemingly lovely bike.
Also, you spoke of the sound it makes but we never heard it.
I couldn't relax into the interview knowing that you were playing some sort of weird teaser game with your audience ...
"One company in particular is leading the way" sorry this video didn't particularly show me anything worthy of leading the way or different to many other city e-motorcycles. Sure there is no tank, but there are others without tanks. Faux tanks are still useful as storage and to grip the machine with. Appreciate the insight, I hadn't seen Brekr before, but the hyperbole on every video is wearing thin.
⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡
Cool bike but unfortunately not fast enough, because my daily commute to work, which is 2 x 28 km long, unfortunately includes 15 km of "Autobahn" each. A 100-km/h-version would be great.
The gas tank design does make sense actually in that there is somewhere to put your helmet or whatever. Just saying.......
I ride a Yamaha MT-03. 100 MPH + 100 MPG+ (ridden nicely) fill up in a few minutes & range is around 225 miles. So, the BREKR is a nice bike, but some way to go yet to convince us petrol heads to change our ways 😁
Think of this as an upgraded eBike, not a downgraded motorcycle. They're not really intended for long day-trips, just getting around town. I have an eMTB and a motorbike.
I can't tell but if that rear wheel is attached to the frame it would mean the shocks will not work. I'm trying to imagine what it would take to make it work but it looks as if it's not there??
❤
There actually is a reason why electric motorcycles have a gas-tank-shaped component even thought they don't use gas: riders are used to leaning their knee and thigh into the tank when they turn, and to sort of "holding on" to the tank" with their legs at all times. Maybe that's a good reason, maybe it's a dumb reason, but there it is. For some riders, bikes without the tank-shaped object are going to be disorienting.
The frame is designed in a way that you can still clamp your knees to get feedback and have more control. We are well aware of this 'feature' and kept it. By placing the batteries as low as possible with the battery box, the low point of gravity improves riding characteristics.
No US?
So many electric 45kmh mopeds so few really interesting bikes for grownups.
The 45km limit really does slot these into an awkward use case that I think is better served by bicycle style e-bikes. Honestly even if they're not full motorcycles capable of highway speeds, they really should be able to do 60-ish kmh in order to keep up with traffic on arterial roads.
@@adamlytle2615 yes the whole class is crippled. But there is the old 125cc class that is very accessible and sufficiently powerful and safe.
Energica, Livewire, Zero, Alta (rip), KTM, BMW
@@gasdive and Harley Davidson just announced a smaller, cheaper electric bike that will eventually be available for 15k usd
So whats it sound like?
A friend has an electric bike and it tries to imitate a retro convenional ICE bike. I like this bold design much better. But every E-Bike is positive.
So yea, I come from that region. And I came into contact with police a little. Luckily, the region is so rural, we all knew the police officers, and they knew everybody. So, it never really escalated to a court... So to speak. Lol, good times.
Personally I think I still prefer the Rieju Nuuk or the Fonzerelli but it’s cool to see more unusual motorbikes come out.
Huh, i expected it to cost twice that much.
this is a moped , only 45 kmh, not a real motorbike. for a moped its quite expensive
You barely showed us the bike😕
Ride slowly and not very far into the future.
So cute
This is beautiful? There's literally a giant square battery sticking out like its made from legos.
"Damn" said Amsterdam
We gotta start electrifying some stuff
i wish this video had more than just talking heads, show the bike , show us what it can do, show its components.. Ty!
No need for petrol mopeds anymore.
It looks cool but arial rider xrider has more range, it's faster, and is half the price. Whats the value here besides style
Like the idea of the bike , but why in the adverts do they show the drivers in shorts and wearing no gloves etc , being a motorcyclist of over 50 years you never ride a bike without any proper protection. Wonderful oh look no skin left or worse . + great clogs 😊😊👍👍
EV has lot potential to creat beautiful design and more innovative ways to be.
No it doesnt.
UK is flush with cash looking for investment yet where are the electric vehicle startups?
I'll just search up my local United States dealer and set up a test ride.
Hahahahahahaha....
So many cool emotos in Europe.
I'd like one with a Honda C90 type fairing please. But if it has limited range and is intended for city use, why not just ride a much cheaper e-bicycle? If you need to carry stuff just get an e-cargo-bicycle.
Chinese electric mopeds with these specs are 2-3 times cheaper.
This may have better quality but the price difference is too big to become competitive.
No, U are missing lots of points 😭, check the sur ron for ex
Buy cheap buy twice - which completly destroys the principal of 'green' travel/goods.
Plus I'd pay extra knowing the materials are more reasonably sourced, the workers are treated well, waste is dealt with appropriately, energy used in manufacture is clean and I'm not shipping a piece of junk half way round the world.
People need to engage moral compasses when buying - we have to for survival.
This looks oddly similar to the portuguese legendary FAMEL shape. See FAMEL E-XF
$6,000 US dollars-ish (maybe more). If you shop for used Zero motorcycles, you can find SR model for $10k. Then you can do 100mph, and have a range of 70 miles/highway, and range 140/city. (Not to hate, but this bike should cost $3k US).
(The Inja) does EV bikes good channel
28mph, just not fast enough outside of the city. i need something that can do 50
Geinig ding
5k... wow
27mph - there's the problem
47mph and it might sell
Part of the appeal of going electric is no noise.
Not interested in the speaker, even for safety sake.
Nice looking bike but a max 45km speed won't even get me to residential speeds.
So, maybe U should catch a train???
🤣🤣🤣
Why are they avoiding the most important aspect of the bike...the fricken wattage of the motor? Geez amateurs...for a $5000 euros, I'd expect as a consumer around 4k to 6k watts of power.
I don't think moving to an e-bike from a regular bike is an upgrade - it is just a different tool for a different job. People should keep using their bikes if the are able. The "upgrade" logic can be used to justify a car when a bike will do.
Lol No it does not look amazing, I can’t imagine a room of people looking at this thing and honestly saying It is beautiful. I wouldn’t even ride one if I got it for free
More of a moped than a motorbike.
lmao what a usless range
It looks okay but it doesn't look stunning to me. And the tank design does have a purpose, and anyone that rides a motorcycle would know this. For one thing the tank helps keep you from sliding too far forward and gives you something to press your knees against in the corner or squeeze your knees against. This alone takes a lot of load off your hands and arms. This bike looks to me like it might be kind of fatiguing to ride because you're going to be using your arms keep yourself from sliding too far forward. And the seat looks too narrow might not be comfortable for a lot of people. I can't say for sure without riding the bike but I can see this could be a problem already.
5000 Euros!! So rich persons toy
Lovely bike but way too slow. It needs to hit at least 50 to be safe.
Hi Tomble, for the highway yes, but if these are for cycle path/ pedestrian areas I think 15 is fast enough?
@@philtucker1224 Im in the uk, this thing would be classed as a moped and not legal to ride on cycle paths.
@@tomblewomble3369 oh good, thank you!
Nice bicycle, possibly a fun escooter for the city, but 100% never a motorbike.
Now lets build a motorbike that can do 250km range and has fast charging.
Energica
Just get a Gogoro, battery swapping, home charging, proven in Taiwan for years, this bike uses the same battery position. Are lazy dutch people going to ride this on the cycle infrastructure like to annoying 50cc scooters?
Nothing against electric bikes, but when you can go 100 miles on a gallon of gas (160km on 4.5L of petrol) and refill it in 30 seconds, I'm not certain I see the point of electric.
4700 euros to go 27mph 🥴 yeah good luck in the uk market...
It's not just about top speed you know.
@@OAK-808 for something that's going to be classed as a motorcycle in the uk as its got no pedals it is way to slow,
@@LondonEats Agreed. If you could skirt the license, registration and insurance requirements, one could probably justify the cost. A couple of year of not paying insurance alone could justify it over a faster, lower cost mocy, at least for city use. Would you lose access to bike lanes and paths? That’d be the real kick in the teeth.
Here in the US, I’d buy something like this as a country town run-around and just not register it.
$5000 Euros for that Bicycle?
You ppl are out of your minds.
And why are there no pedals on it???
If you run out of juice you will have to push the thing all the way home???
Or call a tow truck right? That would cost you 500.
You can get a nice 50cc scooter for 1000 and be better of in every way.
Bad presentation. Slight quick shots of it running etc. and then, hey let sit in front of it the whole time or worse.
41 years of extremely bad experiences,,,,,, Sorry but i would never allow a woman to lead me after what i have witnessed over the years,, im not sexist at all,,,,, just extremely cautious for good reason.....
Are they wearing the helmet for fun? As far as I know you don't have to wear a helmet on bike or 60 km/h scooters in the Netherlands. 5000€ for a bike...most people I know drive cars that cost less. This E-Bike crap is still just an exclusive market for the rich. Beautiful things cost money, but this is not how we're gonna save the environment. This whole crap has to become less exclusive and more accessible to everyone.
This was a softball, setup and answer lame interview.
Looks awful, looks too phallic
You're hanging with some weird guys if you think that looks like a penis?
In my opinion, 💩 on sidewalk look awful and too phallic... 🤣
Maybe I don’t understand you guys but this is ugly as fuuu. Seriously, how is this thing a good design? It looks so ugly.
Watched this video and learned nothing about the bike. 😐
Sorry but this bike is ugly AF, I love the idea, but not good looking at all.
As an ex-biker, I now feel that they should be banned. They are too dangerous and the riders at high risk of injury or death, with resulting misery for themselves or their families (and cost to society). This is even if the riders themselves are ultra-careful. We have an ageing population with far more older car drivers on the road. Naturally, they are not as quick-thinking as the young. Also, there is the anti-social and illegal riding which blights other people's lives, particularly on holidays.
Do you mean ICE bikes ( I think?)..
WTF U talking about?... did U knows, on this planet is more and more people?!
U can ride on horse if U wont man.
"Danger" for us all, the ICE 💩: for me, for U, for allll of us!
Or maybe ban cars from more places.
There is a britsh electric motorcycle built in coventry called MAEVING MOTORCYCLES, with removeable batteries. Why are you always running off to the EU, becuase they do everything better? Its pretty disgraceful the behavior from this chanel and im tempted to unsubscribe.
Triggered much?
Wasnt the Verge bike shown last week a UK firm?
bye
How Brexit work for U???🤣🤣🤣
