Year after year the automotive community is getting closer to the consensus that the future for ground transportation is electric. But is it the case for motorcycles and especially superbikes, which unlike cars, are strongly affected by heavy batteries, and thus, rarely offer adequate range and performance.
Well, today we will demonstrate to you the lineup of all-electric superbikes and sports motorcycles that defy any existing prejudice about two-wheel EVs, and at times outperform gasoline counterparts. Noiseless riding, immediate torque with arms ripping acceleration and truly fast speeds, this is what these bikes are all about!

EMFLUX ONE ?
Паря, тебе стоило б плотнее поработать с концевой Р в пауа, ауа, фича итд. Ну и закрытую А как в "model" подтянуть. Режет слух реально. Не стал бы коментить, если б ютуб твои ролики не ставил в рекомендации. Успехов!
I keep the inline 4 screamer thanks ?
The arc.. beautiful
Still a bit too pricey..
0:36 – you forgot to mention zero-emission.
the Kymco small motor bikes are such a low quality lil Mbikes
These things are heavy
Paradigm future.
It’s electric, let’s double the price just because…
Una moto eléctrica es una mierda pero como un castillo de grande.
Lightning is the koenigsegg of super bike world
Please add ultraviolet f777
Nobody is going to switch with prices like that. If they want to be pretentious and greedy I hope they all go bankrupt. The only worthy one is the lightening and even it is 38k. No thanks. No one's buying that over what gas has now.
Nice video! Good variety of bikes showcased here and informative. The voiceover was a little difficult to understand in the beginning but got used to it more towards the end of the video. Thanks for uploading!
Nah gonna stick with my good oll gasoline. Bruh lol
Price 47000$ like a minute in to video.
Me: Aight guys I think ima head out….
i think engine bikes way better than this, the sound of a loud exhaust ???
Some decent fairing and wind shield please. Twelve times not there yet unfortunately.
The most energy-dense batteries ever conceived are made of graphene, a material strong enough to build a space elevator. The question isn't, why e-bikes aren't lighter? The question is, why can't e-bikes fly?
Lightning bikes are a rip off. Warn people.
I hope Emflux One is able to produce an affordable E-bike and sell them worldwide as their specs seem quite unbelievable at that price point, but maybe they will have several models that will range in price and specs. I wonder how close they are to having low production and selling to a market.
These bikes are all super expensive. I notice that most of them all use some sort of lithium battery. Keep in mind that mining for lithium is a super dirty environmental process. It is not green by any means. Don’t fool yourself by thinking it is. If you drive one, don’t use the environmental base. Part of the fun of riding a bike is for the sound and freedom, not for being stuck to a charge cord and about as much soul as a cellphone. I will say that the Kymco supernex does look great, especially with a 6speed transmission.
All except the LS-218 are ugly as hell, I think they need to build them more like petrol motorcycles to get a bigger audience. Not like the nerd bikes they look like now. And the price needs to come down…
I wonder if you can have a backup battery fully charged on board and if you run outta juice you can swap batteries and be good to go.. anyone?
I want something light, long range, and max speed of 110 mph. That's the sweet spot. Make it affordable and the mass would go for it. There should be economy, daily, sports, and off-road offerings.
I like the E bikes model great looking cute
?
???you have to look all the way?️?️?️
1:15 ??
?????
Is the narrator's last name Ssssssssslithering? Dang!
I tried to listen but this guy's s's are way too crispy! He's slicing my eardrums!
Wow!Actally. Those awe pretty affordable ! I have a Harley Streetglide Whichh. Is a lot of people’s dream bike! I. By. Used bikes cause I was highly dissatisfied and with my limited edition 2008 hyabusa !! To freakin heavy my street glide is about the same weight ! So I bought a Super Blackbird for 2500 and I love a 2500 20 year old bike to a Busa! These n
Bikes are gonna perform because of what I am complaining about which is weight and those bikes are gonna deliver light controllable bikes that are fast and handle cornering like never before plus what about gas electri is free at home but what about on the road ???
The Energica electric streetfighter fits this bill perfectly. It has the same linear 215 Nm torque at the Ego, the same 21.5 kW long-range lithium-ion battery with up to 400 km of city range, the same suspension and performance options, and all of the technological amenities.
the latest 21.5 kwh batteries are offering 400+ km of autonomy. check damon motorcycles btw
Your specs are way off /old
A lot of these look cool, I personally want an Energica EVA or a Zero SR/F as my next bike but superbike specifically referes to a race developed 1000cc three or four cylinder bike or 1300cc two cylinder. You can't just call an electric naked sport bike a superbike.
Lito sora 80 k , like wtf ! ? all EM prices need to come down ! Why are the Japanese waiting so long to mass produce EM's

one of the biggest reasons i buy a superbike is THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE….
Gesits
Yes good for the future , soon this petrochemical no longer raised prices as they please . Hope none of this electronic bike company and let this petrochemical company buy them out . That when everything people’s hope for climate change to be save for children’s will be gone forever
