Exclusive Buyer's Guide for E Motorcycles

I have listed down some of the most important specs and quality to look for when choosing your electric motorcycle. 

#1 Powerful battery

The battery capacity is the basic quality of an electric bike because the performance of the bike depends upon the power.

Usually, 24-48 volt batteries are installed in electric bikes. However, batteries with greater capacity are better for good performance.

#2 Charging time

Battery recharging times vary with the models and brands of the e-bike. The quick charging adapter and batteries are good because of the timesaving advantage. However, high power batteries take more recharging time than low power batteries. If you can find a high power battery with low charging time, all the better.

#3 Motor power

The motor power is also another important factor for the performance of an electric bike. Currently, different companies are using 300 -1000 watts in electric motorcycles.

#4 Range per charge

Covering the range of the electric motorcycle matters the most. The long-range bike is better because it covers more distance in a single charge. Moreover, the speed is also an important factor to consider while buying an electric motorcycle. The simple formula is to select a long-range bike with higher speed.

#5 Terrain consideration

Different bikes are manufactured for different terrain. Some bikes are made to ride off-road trails, or urban, suburban, and twisty roads. Every bike is featured to ride on recommended terrains. Therefore, buying a bike that fits your riding area is advantageous.

#6 Road legal license:

Currently, a large number of companies are manufacturing electric motorbikes. However, many of them do not hold road legal license. Buying products from such companies may lead to legal issues for riding. Therefore, we strongly recommend buying a road legal licensed electric bike.

#7 Weight

The weight of the electric bike is less than the traditional bike because of less equipment. However, heavy weight provides better road grip. Moreover, the higher weight is also indicative of good material used in the manufacturing of the bike. However, many lightweight bikes are also strong and reliable. For smooth roads, heavy bikes are good whereas low weight bikes are suitable for mountainous land and twisty roads because of manoeuvrability.

Alright, let's look at some of the best electric motorbikes in 2018!
