Not like the Segways of old thats for sure...

BRP CanAm should be bringing theirs to market fairly soon I heard.

Polaris have had an electric version of the Ranger for a few years now

Range?

Road legal - probably not I suppose

Range?

Road legal - probably not I suppose

Range noted as:

“The X160 features a 3 kW peak motor that helps the bike top out at 50 km/h (31 mph). It has a range of 65 km (40 mi) from its 48 V and 1 kWh battery.

The larger X260 has a stronger 5 kW peak motor and a higher top speed of 75 km/h (46.6 mph). Its larger 60 V and 1.8 kWh battery offers a higher range of 120 km (74.6 mi).”

Wouldn’t have the foggiest on the road legality aspect I’m afraid. Think they’re only starting sales in the US initially, later this month.

Below is the new Storm Bee, e-dirtbike from Sur Ron (Segway have an interest in them, hence some similarities between the bikes) at the Milan Bike Show (EICMA).

Check out the specs of this one...

The much anticipated Sur Ron Storm Bee electric motorcycle was shown off at the EICMA 2019 Milan Motorcycle Show this week.

The Sur Ron Storm Bee is the Chinese electric motorcycle company’s second production vehicle.
It was designed to provide a step up in power, speed and performance over the Sur Ron Light Bee, the company’s first electric motorcycle.
Its forged aluminum frame sports an air-cooled mid-drive motor with a peak power rating of 22.5 kW (30 hp).
That motor is fed by an FOC sine wave controller supplied by a 96V and 48Ah battery offering 4.6 kWh of capacity.

Sur Ron claims that the Storm Bee will be capable of traveling over 100 km (62 mi) on a charge, though at city speeds of around 50 km/h (31 mph).
Of course, the Sur Ron Storm Bee will be capable of faster speeds as well, with a maximum rated speed of 110 km/h (68 mph).
The bike will offer four riding modes of Economy, Rain, Sport, and Turbo.
The Storm Bee’s hydraulic disc brakes clamp onto a 270 mm rotor in the front and a 240 mm rotor in the rear, and also feature ABS.







The Storm Bee on display here at the show was the dirt bike version outfitted with incredibly knobby tires on its 21-in front wheel and 18-in rear, as well as 290 mm travel suspension in both the front and rear. But Sur Ron will also be offering a street-optimized version of the Storm Bee that should make a potent commuter bike.
The Storm Bee puts out 520 Nm (382 lb-ft) of torque at the rear wheel. Between the available power and torque, the Sur Ron Storm Bee can climb angles of 45º. For those keeping score at home, that’s a 100% grade.
The bike weighs in at 118 kg (260 lb) and can support another 120 kg (265 lb) in combined rider and gear. Don’t expect to hit the top speed of 110 km/h (68 mph) with that heavy of a rider though. Sur Ron rates the top speed of the bike while using a 75 kg (165 lb) rider.

Thanks

I'm following Genze on Facebook. They are a huge (Indian I believe) corporation building commuter / delivery scooters on the West Coast in the States and road legal. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before they make an off roader

This SurRon British bike has been covered on here before:

21 inch and 18 inch wheels ???? that is very small even a kids MX bike would have bigger wheels than that !

21-inch front and either 18 or 19" rear is fairly much standard wheel/tyre sizes for a dirt bike

 

[How much]

I had no idea the wheels where so small , it makes mountain bike wheels look huge at 27 1/2 and 29 inch

 

[onesiedale]

So what price range are these falling into?

 

[milkloss]

So what price range are these falling into?

£4k including vat

 

[2wheels]

what is the gubbins on the chain in front of the rear wheel, a battery charger?

 

[Robt]

Now that looks fun! The torque will
Be immense! Not road legal as the top speed is too high for a push bike . You’d have to run it as a motorcycle I’d have thought

 

[Agrispeed]

I quite like the look of the UBCO bikes. 2wd too, which could be handy, seems more designed for farm use.

Seems a bit odd to have a chain, and the associated arsing around, when you'd think they'd be able to work around not having one.


Electric quads are a great idea but the Ecocharger ones are obscenely expensive; £11k for a 250cc equivalent 2wd quad weighing 405kg, which is far too heavy to be practical. I'd rather have 3 new Honda trx250s!

 

[TechWise]

Nothing particularly revolutionary in the technology - it's getting something certified for sale that's the tricky bit. Glad to see electric bikes gaining popularity though.

Classic marking person though hearing "Field Oriented Control" and "Vector Control" and sticking it in a poster when they clearly don't know what it means

Do you mean this? That’s the motor.

Lead acid batteries unfortunately. Li-ion would be a VAST improvement but would need money ploughed into the design and getting them certified.
