It would only make sense for Elon Musk’s Tesla to build an electric motorcycle, as they have dominated with their Model 3 / S / X and soon, the Cybertruck. What could the two-wheeled bike look like? Well, automotive designer James Gawley provides us with an idea. Rather than a traditional speedometer and gauges, this one would have a giant touchscreen in their place.
Electric-powered motorcycles of the same size and weight of their gasoline counterparts offer similar performance. In a past Road & Track issue, their editors determined that a high-end electric motorcycle was faster and even better handling than any conventionally powered bike. How so? these electric bikes have better 0-60 mph acceleration, thanks to the ability to develop full torque immediately, and since they don’t have a clutch, clutch the torque is available instantly.
- Authentic motocross frame geometry, the MX350 scales down the dirt bike to size for riders ages 8 and up
- Features an adjustable-angle, riser-style handlebars, 12” spoked wheels with pneumatic tires, retractable kickstand, and hand-operated rear brake
- Carries riders at speeds of up to 14 mph (22 km/h) in the default HIGH speed setting. A high/low speed control switch allows the selection of the right maximum speed
