Everything you need to know about the exciting new era of electric motorbikes


Get ready for an edgy and environmentally friendly ride

Say hello to a world of innovation and adaptability, where the era of electronic vehicles has raced into developing and creating a new age of on and off-road EV motorcycles that bridge the gap between outdoor adventurers and urban commuters.

If you are curious about what an EV motorcycle can do and why you should consider parking one in your garage now or in the near future, then keep reading. One thing is for sure; it’s paving its way through city streets and rugged farm terrain in New Zealand with no signs of slowing down.

WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC MOTORBIKE?

With cutting-edge design, the differences between a diesel chugging, crank-started motorbike, and an electronic motorcycle are becoming less noticeable. Much like its description states, its power source comes from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery paired with an electric motor that converts power into movement – so say goodbye to gas for good!

Durability is always factored into the production and design of each motorcycle, bringing us to the following points.

WHY YOU SHOULD OWN AN EV MOTORCYCLE

POWER AND TORQUE

By far, the biggest question asked by those interested in the XOVR range is the power and torque capabilities. And this is where it gets interesting; EV motorbikes are designed to be versatile in speed, power, and traction as they are specially designed to tackle all terrain.

With a power transference of a 1.2kw hub motor at the rear and a .75kw motor positioned in the front, power to weight is adjusted to accommodate the need for motoring up slopped environments. That’s why there is massive appeal among farmers looking for electronic off-road motorbike options to aid them in mustering cattle and minimize the hassle of operating heavy, petrol-guzzling machinery.

But it doesn’t stop there because, for urban residents, the streamlined design, power, and speed allow easy handling in traffic-dense areas.

USER-FRIENDLY

EV motorbikes have no gears, so there is no worry about shifting gears to meet the conditions. With a twist-and-go throttle system, ease of use is guaranteed.

Due to its category listing and as per the New Zealand Transport Agency and its careful design of under 2KW to align with the moped class of the vehicle, the bike can be operated legally on the road with a valid car license.

SAFETY

While the bikes are designed to be lightweight, they are created with the safety of riders in mind, incorporating innovative dashboard systems to gauge speed and distance for not just your vehicle but other road users, giving you enough time to apply safety measures if required.

LOW MAINTENANCE

With a simplistic framework design, maintenance of the XOVR electric motorbike is far more manageable. With sealed and smoothed compartments, the bike has no cavities that can retain dirt. An adonized coating ensures no chipping or corrosion, with the layer only hardening further over time.

With a double-walled battery casing and ample ground clearance when manoeuvring down a bank, the battery cells are even further protected from damage, unlike other bikes with a hull design, meaning no money is spent repairing rips or tears.

Furthermore, no spark plugs or air filters like traditional motorbikes mean fewer maintenance costs and more time to enjoy the open road (or rugged landscape).

ECO-CONSCIOUS

Reduced emissions from electric bikes are one of the main reasons these products have a considerable uptake. With notably reduced C02 emissions, you can look forward to doing your part for the environment.

And while some may argue they love the roaring sound of a big, burly bike makes; EV motorbikes are considerably quieter. As no sound is associated with movement, it makes you feel you are driving something genuinely futuristic.

WORTH THE INVESTMENT

It’s time to greet adventure with XOVR’s twin-hub EV motorcycle, the power of the bike delivers a ride with the ability to transport you over any obstacle making it truly worth the investment while providing performance to meet every Kiwi commuter’s needs and maintaining the responsibility to the planet.
