>Incredibly badass designs
>Top speed: 30KM/h
WTF
Do all of them have 30km/h top speed?
That's because it's an e-bike, a pedal bike with a motor. It's not an electric motorcycle. Why? You don't need a license or insurance etc. It's just a standard pedal bike. Despite this, they can usually do more than double that speed. They're simply limited to comply with regulations.
In china you don't need license for thos, hence the sporty designs for a city scooter.
@@automotiveterritory Do all of them have badass designs?
No the first one was at 200kmh
20mph for $3000 I can pedal up to 15....
True, true. Can't argue with that
You could also just buy a $300 electric scooter that goes up to 15mph, and save the other $2700 lol
You can buy an electric bike who can reach 60 mph for around 2500$
I can do 25mph on my racing bike lol and faster on my electric assist bicycle lol.. I can't imagine blowing past a moterbike
It's the "coolest" bike you can drive without a driver license. The law max is 500 watts and 20mph
If it can’t go 80 k or 50 mph it’s not a motorcycle and a waste of time.
We have to keep in mind that I featured bikes in the lower price range. Of course there are faster and more powerful bikes out there, for example Zero S, but it's going to cost over $10k.
How often do you go over 30 mph in city streets?
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews ... during my commute I see 50, 60, 70 and 80km speed limits. A limit of 50 kph would be dangerous on those roads. Not trying to pick a fight here but a street legal vehicle that can’t keep up with traffic is not worth buying or promoting it’s just a toy.
Ed S
Agreed. At the moment a 125cc bike is better value for money.
30 mph is 50km/h, so this should be enough for commuting within the city. The top speed of these bikes is limited on purpose, so the riders could get on these with a basic moped license.
I like what i see thanks for the content man. The zero fx is my favorite because of its offroad capability
You are very welcome. I would say that the Zero bike is probably my favorite model as well
If you lean your head forward you can hit 21mph
Lol. good one
Your vids keep popping up as suggestions and I have loved every one.. You give all the right information and don't over explain stuff, which is great.. Excellent quality videos.. You just got a new subscriber!.. Cheers from Canada :)
Thanks! Comments like yours keep me going.

I'm Japanese living in Canada so my first language isn't English.. That means I don't understand much when TH-camrs talky talky forever just to take up time.. I definitely appreciate your content style because you get to the point and move on.. My husband is a motorcycle lover and just encouraged me to get my bike license so we can ride together.. I said I want an electric bike, so after watching this he is interested in pre-ordering an Emflux for me because I love it lol.. He is a motorcycle lover, as well as an off road lover who's passions are motorcycles and we absolutely love overlanding touring.. You have excellent videos on these topics that i'll share to our like minded friends on social media, and tell them to subscribe lol... Do you have a top overland touring vehicles, video?..

Wth dude why would you ride a supersport looking bike that goes 20mph
Have you seen a supersport on this list that goes 20mph?

I see, that changes everything.
@@automotiveterritory to get laid of course. Just bring a paper bag for that chick.
EMFLUX.........is looks AWESOME! If they keep that price, I will surely buy one!
International availability is a big issue for any new company. But I wish these guys the best of luck and I do hope they make it, as there seems to be a lot of people, who are already interested in their bike.
This really helped me out! The gigabyke grooves go 20 mph and have a 25mile range. When the battery runs low you can pedal also. They cost about 1,500. That fly free smart and the zero fx are the two that I really want. Thank goodness there are so many options.
It's good to see somebody excited about such bikes for a change.
Just finished watching your 2018 video and found this one instead. HUGE LEAP in the electric industry. This is nice.
It's going to be exciting to see how far these go in a coupe of years, don't you think?
The use sur-ron white ghost is so so so cool!!!
I have the 2019 CSC City Slicker. It goes 50 MPH and I absolutely love it. I think some of the comments here will be less than nice but I'm having fun on it.
It's important for everyone to manage expectations electric motorcycles. Small bikes like yours could make a great alternative to public transport. Would you recommend a bike like yours to a friend?

Because he is not a big Homie. He is probably 5ft2in and maybe a buck and change in terms of weight.
How much?

The white ghost headlight is hilarious. It looks like =O
The Daymak EM2 actually does 66KMH with the limiter off and with a lithium upgrade it could easily do 180km range with the right "mah" you can also change out the 500watt motor and throw on a 6000 to 8000 watt if you wanted, they're only $700.
There's also the EMMO Zone GTS almost the same look as the Daymak EM2 but with a bigger front body flare.
How much customizations like you described could possibly cost? More people should know about it.
Oh this should be at the top comments no 🧢
Check out the Savic Motorcycles. Amazing! And the Lightning Strike, of ocurse.
Will take a look at the Savic. And the strike was featured here th-cam.com/video/lrw-HIevjlE/w-d-xo.html
these things will probably never take off in the northwestern hemisphere if the do not do something about the top-speed and range.
How much range would you need and what is the top speed that will make you comfortable?
@@automotiveterritory The top speed should be at least 130 kph
Julian Davies, most of them are intended to be ‘city bikes’, capable of handling city traffic speeds, and more than capable of handling the distances traveled by city commuters. The more expensive ones will handle commuting into or out of a city.
I'm with Theo on this one. Highway speeds are not the absolutely vital requirement for electric bikes, since many are only made for daily commute.
you'd like it if it was loud
Releases of new electric motorcycles have become a common thing now. Here are some of the latest models that besides being new have relatively low prices. Which one do you like the most?
White ghost but can you buy i dont see it available yet
It's expected to be released soon.
Lots of highways in Texas. We need greater speeds. 70 mph minimum. I love the design of that Sur-ron White Ghost. If only it went a bit faster
The faster options right now only include Zero S and Lightning Strike.
You didn't see the EVOKE bikes here?
Great video
I can use one of these to drive to the weed shop everyday 🤣
Not bad. Just make sure to come back home before consuming anything ;)

I am interested in purchasing the Super Soco TC Max. I am in NY City. How do I proceed to obtain the bike? Is it available with spoked wheels instead of alloy?
There is a list of official websites in the description. Information about local availability could be obtained there.
I like the city slicker. Get it able to go 65mph and double the range and it would be awesome.
The price would probably double with the specs, would it still be appealing to you?
65 mph so km?
interesting! I like it, and I live in the north east U.S.!
Glad you liked the video! Hope many of these bikes will be sold close to you soon
Curtis Marean you did hear what the topspeed was right?? How long to recharge again??? Bicycles go faster then most of those without all the plastic and wiring and battery’s and... you know planet devouring stuff... don’t accept/support crappy Ideas!! We can do way better!
The Tao Leo. It looks like the daymak em2 but it goes 45 miles per charge and top speed is 50mph. I own the 72v 40ah version. 3000w motor. 100a controller. I've modded in a j1772 level 2 charge port. Payed $5600 new. I love it!!
Nice suggestion, I will check it out
There’s also the Rieju Nuuk that could make this list.
Though I guess not yet available in the US
As far as I remember it's marketed as a scooter or a moped. It have featured it in one of my previous videos.
What motorcycle was the one from the intro on the video? The one painted camo driving through a warehouse?

Now certainly seems like the time when e-motorbikes are starting to address the mass market. The closest yet to matching product to market would have to be Zero. A lot of the bikes shown here are styled on the current look of conventional sports ICE bikes. I thing the next 18 months will prove the market demand for e-motorcycles made with the standard seat posture can go 100 miles / 160 kms on a single charge has LED lights (Zeros don’t yet!) and has a base price point around $4500 and with extras up to $6000 (£5000 or €5500). Meanwhile I’ll wait and keep watching - as I continue to get about town on my 2000watt hub motor e-mountain-bike - top speed 36 mph range 10 to 16 miles - cost 3 years ago £1500.
good show
Glad you liked it! What do you think about the state of the electric motorcycles industry?
When will White Ghost be released in 2019?
It should be available on domestic market already. As for the international sales, it's hard to find any information right now.
@@automotiveterritory "domestic" meaning what? Which country?
First one best looking and pretty fast
Love it. Can't meet my needs(yet) but I'm still watching. Battery technology is growing by leaps and bounds. I don't think it will be all that long before an adaquet battery will come along. Meanwhile I'll just have to live with my stinky noisy gasoline bike.
Would you rather have a battery that lasts longer or one that charges faster?
@@automotiveterritory I'd have to go with run time. If the battery pack is removable you could run one while the others recharge. (My phone has a removable battery and I carry several charged batteries all the time.)
An average phone lasts for less than a day. Do you imagine how large the battery pack of a motorcycle is? It don't see a scenario when it can be removable. Unless there will be several battery modules that could be extracted and be taken for charging.
Hi, I think would be really convenient if you also added manufacturer links.
The information about all of the bikes that are shown in my videos are in the description.
NICE MODAL
Which one did you happen to like the most?
Early days for this industry, 10 years into the future & i`ll be a happy pensioner re-living my youth if i remember to charge it
The industry is slowly picking up and we are very likely to see better and more affordable models in the near future.
20 mph top speed is not road worth
It's a road hazard and POS
How often do you travel in the city at speeds exceeding 30mph? Also there are much faster bikes on this list, have you considered them?
@@automotiveterritory
Answer every day that I ride.
And based on the prices, I can get a 600 Vulcan that has more range and is faster than any of these toys.
Maybe when they figure out how to to connect the electric motor to an actual transmission, they'll get the same speed and range of a standard gasoline bike.
Maybe when Kawasaki/Suzuki/Yamaha purchase the electric motor and battery tech and mate it to one of their chassis & transmission.
@@automotiveterritory every single day because I don't live in a congested, poorly designed, large city.
@@automotiveterritory I never go under 45 unless in a parking lot or neighborhood
I own two...paid $1800 for my first, $4000 for my second. Bike 1 top speed 50kmph second bike top speed 105kmph I weigh 180lb. Both are VERY FUN to ride. Dont have one? Get ine!
May I ask what models are those?
Nice selection of bikes. What happens to all those batteries once there dead....land fill ?
All batteries have to be recycled, as far as I'm concerned it applies not only to batteries used in EVs.
That 2k emotorcyxle , you can get an ebike, that goes 30mhp less charge time
The 500Watt bikes are exactly what I'm looking for in terms of styling but I need something that can do at least 85 mph for at least 60 miles preferably for less than 3,000.
I'm afraid electric bikes aren't there yet. The closest to your specifications are Zero motorcycles, but they start at $7,000
@@automotiveterritory the RV400 is pretty close but It doesn't look like it's going to be available in America :(

You are very welcome! Have any of these bikes got on your shopping list?
I'm not thinking of buying right now, however when I will it will definitely be something electric. Cheers
Best of luck with the purchase!
The "future" as forced upon everybody else by the "elite" and their government lap dogs. Do you think that all these wastes of oxygen will get rid of all their supercars like McLarens and Ferraris, etc, for plug in you cars? Even Teslas are too expensive for most of the public to buy.
There is Indonesian Matic electric motorcycles named Gesit, it had top speed up to 70km/hr. Range 60km, and just 2000$. u can buy more Battery to get 30km range just for 300$ each.
I haven't encountered this model yet. I'll take a look for sure.
china VOGE manufactures the white ghost, I couldnt find much on it under Sur-ron
As far as I remember they had some sort of a deal regarding this model.
Why not use the gear box like the gas version? This doesn't make sense. Would it be easier on the motor?

does the Super Soco ship to the United States (HAWAII)
You will have to verify with the manufacturer. The links to the websites are in the description
My idea of commuting and your idea of commuting are 2 different things I need a range of minimum 80 miles at 60 mph for it to be of any practicality to me I might had well stick with gas power, cant stop half way to work and wait 30 minutes to get half a charge assuming I find a power source.....
These are intended for city commuting. How often do you hit 60mph within the urban area?
How would you change from torque into velocity to increase range.
Dymak Rouge seems like a good buy.
For short city commuters probably.
Mad Daymak. I can cycle more than 20 mph
It's done to make this bike fit with certain regulations. As for being able to continuously cycle at 20mph speed, great job!
Price and range are the main concerns for me. Top speed doesn't have to be massive- I don't want to exceed the speed limit on a bike. If it maxes out at 65 or 70 I'm good, I just want to be able to cruise comfortably at 45 or 55 most of the time while having the capability to go a little faster if need be. The range needs to be over 100 miles for sure, 200 would be the long term goal, and the price needs to be less than 10k in order to interest me. I could go with less speed and range up to a point if the price is more like 5k. If you look at something like the Harley electric bike, that is a well put together machine that already has the type of performance I'm looking for- but I won't spend 30k on it. No way. It's coming along though, and at some point there's going to be a breakthrough model that performs well and is priced within the range that I'm willing to pay.
The industry is not there yet but it is evolving fast. Hopefully that soon we will get more options, better performance and competitive prices.
I need a mx one. These golf courses have been screaming my name. I can hit them at night and no one hear me.
The best are: super soco tc max, emflux and evoke
Nice choices!
Why does the slicker look a lot like the grom ?
It was either inspired by Grom or was purposefully made to look like this in order to lure some of the grom crowd away.
I wonder how much it would cost if I was to just take this old blown up GSXR and put a fork truck motor on it with a couple deep cycle dry cell marine batteries? The Yale fork truck weighs 5000 lbs compared to a 600 lb GSXR and the fork truck would go 20 mph forward and reverse. You could do a lot with gearing the chain and sprockets.
And I may be wrong about the GSXR weight. It may be lighter than 600 lbs. But batteries aren't usually light weight.
THE FIRST ONE IS DOPE BUT WHAT IS WITH THE LIMITATION OF SPEED ON NEARLY ALL OF THESE BIKES? ARE THERE ANY ELECTRIC BIKES THAT CAN BE TWEAKED? HOPEFULLY THE EASTERN COUNTRIES WILL MAKE THESE THINGS MORE POPULAR AND DRIVE DOWN THE PRICE WITH GOOD COMPETITION CUZ I WOULD REALLY LIKE AN E CYCLE THAT HITS ATLEAST 80-85 MPH WITH A GOOD PRICE TAG LIKE 4-$5000
Most of the affordable models come from Eastern countries already.
I want a Daymak rogue but I want it to at least get to 80mph
Unfortunately they had to limit the speed and specifications of this particular bike.
uuuh the emflux one looks hot!!
Result of rising India under the guidance of Narendra Modi.
@@rakeshbiswas1501 modi has nothing to do with emflux. This bike is designed by skilled professionals and talented minds of few Bangaluru youths
If the EMflux does what is claimed and is built well it is THE breakthrough electric bike as far as I am concerned. For that price it is almost too good to be true compared to the others. So let's see. Will it loose half it's power and range for the basic version?
It's hard to tell at the moment. As of right now, it looks very promising. But we could only see the full picture once it fully hits the market.
Emlux had said that they'll produce only limited bikes
Do one on scooters, electric road scooters you know like piaggio.
I will see what I can do.
Man these things will leave you stranded in Texas but with in walking distance:)
As of today, electric vehicles are more suitable for city riding. And they are actually amazing if you don't need to take very long trips.
@@automotiveterritory so they are mopeds?
I believe a moped is a motorcycle that has pedals, and if I'm not mistaken these bikes, don't have them. Underpowered? Yes, but motorcycles nonetheless
@@automotiveterritory not all mopeds have pedals. I had a Yamaha that didn't.
the conversion kits for older small bikes are a good idea the people that need these
live in places where the public transportation is poor and so are they...50 mph and range of 40
miles and charge times with short charge times to get it charged if you live some where they have rolling black outs
It's a great idea. Hopefully someone can some up with a universal conversion kit.
Range: 100km. Top speed: 80km/h. Those parameters would make the ideal electric motorcycle to me
How much do you think a machine with such specifications should go for?
Really the cost of Emflux Bike is 7.700?
It's the expected price on their local market. It's still to be determined whether the bike will be entering international markets. But at this price point they should go for it.
@@automotiveterritory Hells yeah. If the specs of 200km range and top speed of 200km/h. $7700 is a very, very good deal. The comparative Zero bikes are more in the $15-20k range
Maybe less than 7k I'm from India
What are the latest lo Al news about the Emflux?
Wake me up when the standard swappable battery motorcycles arrive 😴🛌
I can only think of two benefits of having this: charging at home or having a set of batteries and changing between charged and empty ones. Is it something that you are expecting from electric motorcycles?
@@automotiveterritory I mainly want a "standard" battery type so I can find a cheap replacement battery in 10 years without having to worry if the company will still in business. Do I want a highway speed motorcycle that uses swappable batteries? Sure. It would be great to pull up to a store, swap batteries, and keep going for long cross country road trips, but it's not my main concern. That's years down the road.
Manufacturers don't like standardization and unfortunately it hurts consumers the most. I do have to agree with you on this one - the industry still has a long way to go but we all have to give them credit for reaching this level of development already. Newer bikes are going to surprise us more and more in the nearest future.

Jedi Knight • true very much true
When I saw the specs for the DayMak EM2 I thought that must be a misprint. 20mph top speed and a range of 37 miles, neither of which would encourage sales. At least it tries to look the part.
It's not a misprint. Such specifications were introduced for a reason.
@@automotiveterritory And that reason would be ?
Very short city commute. Though, I dont blame people who find these specs ridiculous. They are
I think the range and speed are still 20 to 50% less than they need to be for American riders, as our distances traveled and speed we travel require 80mph for highways and 55mph townish style driving.
True. Affordable electric models will be there soon.
For now I recommend you watching a video about impressive electric superbikes. Dont mind the prices, though ;)
th-cam.com/video/REn6rczPT2I/w-d-xo.html
Here is a link
With shipping these are gonna be way more
Destination fees are never included in the price of the vehicle, are they?
@@automotiveterritory Of course not but at the end of the day if you're in America better off just buying a bike here would be cheaper but if some these companies started making bikes over here I would definitely be into supporting them
Sure. If you are in America you have access to some of the most advanced electric motorcycles.
Whats a Eliecwic motorcycle? I sure as heck dont want them to take over
They are very likely to take over in the future though.
Do you really need dual discs up front for 20mph top speed?
Good point. Should have saved up on the discs and installed a bigger battery ;)
With the given specs, these bikes only fall into my range of "curious" not quite "interest" yet.
How about bikes by Zero Motorcycles and Lightning?
These are beautiful motorcycles, yet for gas engine have less torque then range how can we take the access torque of electric motor into range.
Electric motors do offer lots of torque right away but the range only depends on the size of the battery. Large batteries make such bikes too expensive or too heavy.
@@automotiveterritory do any of the motorcycles use a planetary gearing or only direct drive.
@@automotiveterritory plus any manufactures leaning to capacitor storage? I was hoping C-Motives work would contributed to this line of industry, yet haven't seen them reach out to this sector of products. I thankyou for responding to my questions. I would peak at Shezen electrostatic motors if not C-Motives. I would call these motors e field motors as it follows the principles of compacitance.
In most cases they are direct drive bikes.
The lack of range and speed on most electric bikes soI don't see them gaining wide success. Not to mention no one wants to wait an hour to charge up.
There are electric motorcycles that don't lack neither in the speed, nor the range department but they are not affordable, so I didn't mention them here. As for the affordable options, they can make amazing city commuters and could be charged whenever you are not using them.
I like that "Urban ass" bike!
DAYMAK is basically motorbike exterior with an electric scooter motor
An entry level motorbike.
@@automotiveterritory emove rlectric scooter has the same top speed with higher range at half then price lol....
They will get more sales then.
@@automotiveterritory daymak's sport mode makes the bike goes up to 60kmph but range drops to 20km
Pricing is better however some lacked the power and speed, 20mph is not impressive, those are electric scooter speeds. Bikes like the ones we just saw should do a minimum of 55mph you know what it don't matter I'll modify mine to reach those speeds.
Range needs to be 200km minimum for my daily commute. I wish they make a bike more motor efficient one day
These electric motors are getting pretty close to 100% efficiency. We just need bigger, lighter and cheaper batteries :)
@@automotiveterritory I beg to differ, days motors still run hot and continuously need cooling. This is big waste of energy gone into heat. There is a lot of confusion about motors being up to 98% efficient, this is so wrong
@Greg stafford emflux gets upto 200kmph easily
A trike could hold a larger battery and motor, might be a better platform
Yes, you are making a good point. Do you think that motorcycles need larger batteries for more charge? Why not small, light batteries and fast charging option?
@@automotiveterritory They need more range
I believe prices will drop much lower due to the demand of no emissions
How much do you think these should cost after the long awaited drop?
3 to 5 k is a good price range for 50 miles, 50 mph top speed for city commuters. Some bikes shown do meet my needs and look interesting 😉
These bikes are nice for city riding. This is the reality that we have to face. Those, who need more range should look into more expensive bikes like those by Zero or Lightning.
If you're going 20 mph on an electric bike, why not just get one if those pedal bikes with an electric motor strapped on? Cheaper and more suited to the laws and environment of cities. What I think the sweet spot is for a real electric motorcycle is $8, 000.00 or less, simple fiberglass body with steel frame, and spend the rest of the budget on the best motor and batteries you can. Cost to produce should be like 2 k or less in materials. And labor costs shouldn't be much as it would simply be spraying out some fiberglass, or even using frn plastic in all reality, and assembling outside parts. There's a guy who made a Plywood electric bike that shows how cheaply and well these things can be done up.
Australia: We are an affluent western country with an entrenched urban motorcycle culture. Shut up and take our money
Manufacturers, importers and retailers: *blank stare*
The supply doesn't meet the Australian demand? Huh?
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews that is correct. They don't even bother with the market
Sad story. I hear the prices are higher as well.
Those are nice electric motorcycles the price are for some but in going go electric for bragging rights
Glad you liked them. Check out more videos about electric bikes on my channel

Is this your favorite one of them all?
@@automotiveterritory yes, I really like. 0-100 3sec. and this is sport motorcycle.
Excited to see it hit the market, especially at this price.
Is my favorite too, good rang, mileage, quick acceleration and fast charging, plus an sporty look
Lightning motorcycles new 2019 models Strike standard version seems to be the best bang for the buck and is a real highway capable motorcycle with acceptable range and top speed compared to the toys in this list.
It's amazing and I talked about it here: th-cam.com/video/lrw-HIevjlE/w-d-xo.html But in this video I wanted to dedicate some time to the cheapest available models.
Peter Kacandes bro, that shits 38,888 usd. This video is about affordable electric bikes
The price that you shared is for LS-218. Lightning have recently revealed a new model that is in the under $20k category.
It seems to me that ev should be able to produce speeds in excess of 100mph. I also think that they are too small. They need one designed for larger people with longer battery life.

Zero SR is perfect!
Is it your favorite option in the class?
Here at Boom Moto we are a competitive bike at under 10k.
Already available for purchase?
@@automotiveterritory End of April
Thanks for the info, I will be following the news
Why buy this bikes when a Yamaha 115hp SXR900 sells for $9000 and can be refilled in 30 seconds for $15 after a 200 mile ride.
Super Soco TC Max all the way.
It's a nice choice.
In nutshell, non American- European brands are most affordable
Like the idea of electric motorbike, but the price range and performance not that great at present. Hopefully that will change soon.
Great point! It is going to take some time for sure.
in AMERICA WERE IS PLACES IN =CLUDE YOUR HOME YOUR CHARGE THE BATERY CHARGER IN HOME OR OUTSDIE FOR EVERY BODY? STATIONS FOR CHARGE FAST TO STOP TELL ME? OR HAVE OWN CHARGER SOLAR BATERY CHARGER?
The charging infrastructure is being developed quite rapidly.
A e-bike (bicycle) may be a much better value. You can more range at a cheaper price. You can ride street or bike path. No registration fee. No insurance. No license or license plates. No helmet, you lock it to a bike rack. And you can get away with things on a bicycle (legally) that you can not on motorcycle. Most inexpensive e motorcycles don't go fast
enough to travel on highways anyway.
Bicycles are limited to 500W of power, otherwise you'd need to get it registered.
@@automotiveterritory people in US do DIY 750W, 1000W, 1500W ebikes all the time.
building an electric cafe racer is some next level hipster shit
Why is that? Electric motorcycle industry is developing quite fast, so it's no wonder that there are electric models in almost every motorcycle class and style.
They might drop maybe 100-250$
They will always come up with something better I paid a Jetson
199$ they cost 3-400$ they ok
But looking for always better on price drops
How much do you think they should cost to be more attractive to consumers?
I have super soco for 1.5 year... Best price vs performance ratio! Far better than traditional petrol/fossil fuel counter parts... No maintenance done what so ever...
Would you recommend it to a friend?
What is the price? Which country is manufacturing? Is it available in India?
@@automotiveterritory
Yes, i definitely would recommend it to a friend.
@@thankuish
Its made in china, don't know about india, i am from Pakistan... Thanks
