E-Motorcycles FAQ
How far can an electric motorcycle go?
Current electric motorcycles typically manage 70 to 200 miles (110 to 320 km) in city riding. At sustained highway speeds, range usually drops by 30 to 50%, because aerodynamic drag rises sharply with speed.
Do electric motorcycles need a motorcycle license?
Yes. Full-power electric motorcycles need the same license category as gas-powered bikes of equivalent performance. In the EU and UK, license categories (AM, A1, A2 and A) are set by power output in kW rather than engine size.
