In China and got to test ride a new electric motorcycle. As most of you know gas motorcycles are banned in many cities of China. So you are seeing a lot of companies switch from gas production to electric vehicle production. The amount of R&D on electric vehicles in China is unbelievable!.

Fun ride

Got about 65 miles before it stopped. It does warn you ahead time.Started telling me at about 50 miles.

As you can see in the picture they used the Tricker frame. I think if they used more aluminum and try to shave off some weight it could go more miles.

Over all not a bad start China.

Oil Cooled
Gearbox: 5 speed
Power: 10kw
Battery Type: Co-Mn-Ni lithium battery
Battery Capacity: 72V40Ah
Charging Time: 3.5Hours
Input Voltage: 110V-220V
Front Brake: Disc Brake
Rear Brake: Disc Brake
Front Wheel: 80/100-18
Rear Wheel: 110/80-17

Side note: I am starting to see major changes here in the motorcycle business and it's not good. One example is companies that are trying to stay in the motorcycle business ( and it's getting harder every day) are claiming they are a manufacturing company, many are not! Buyer Beware If you source from China ask to see the factory. Many are just trading companies or assemblers. If they are a true manufacturing company they love to show you the factory and all the tooling.

Websites like Alibaba and Made-In-China are not helping the situation, with a whole lot of fake companies on the websites. Buyer Beware!
