Are Electric Motorbikes Safe?
Switching to electric and what it means for your safety.
The rise of electric technology is slowly replacing the fossil fuel industry. While a common feature in electric vehicles, the exciting uptake of electric motorbike manufacturers is something everyone should note. They are paving the way forward now and into the future with a thrilling, adventure-fueled ride that is sustainable and that provides a rider with a motorbike experience unparalleled with gas-guzzlers that leave a carbon footprint.
While electric motorbike creators are creating cutting-edge, innovative rides, they are newer to the market, which leaves the question, “Are electric motorbikes safe?”
Anytime you get onto a motorcycle, regardless of how it’s fueled, there is a greater danger of being hurt than riding in a car, which a vast majority of riders have considered and will always try to minimise.
Though a valid reason, there is no reason why you should not pursue the purchase of an electric motorbike and here is why:
ELECTRIC EVOLUTION
As technology advances rapidly, so does global engineering. No limitations leave room for electric motorcycle manufacturers to experiment with building a safer bike using these next-generation technologies.
Alert systems not common on motorbikes are now finding their way onto the control panels of electric motorbikes. These systems have a range of capabilities that gauge the speed of your bike and vehicles on the road, provide collision warnings, and alert riders of any dangers which may impact their safety, features that drive electronic motorbikes well past their fossil fuel-loving counterparts.
THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT
It’s true with innovation comes the desire for user connectivity. Electric motorbikes are not short of this by including the latest technology in their dashboards and creating an app that allows riders to receive safety alerts and helpful suggestions on avoiding on and off-road hazards with further add-ons like GPS tracking communicated straight to their mobile phone.
BAD VIBRATIONS
Gas-fueled bikes vibrate while idling and riding; while not dramatically dangerous, it’s worth considering, making riding an electric motorbike steadier, reliable, and far more comfortable.
CONSUMER SAFTEY STANDARDS
Electric motorbike manufacturers are required to meet rigorous safety standards. The consumer product safety commission places heavy fines paired with the ability to recall or seize products if they do not comply. And for those serious about their product and its quality, motorbike builders worldwide and the team at XOVR are empowered to deliver a ride that meets all of these and yields a premium riding experience.
