Top 10 Electric Motorcycles That are DESTROYING Gas Bikes!!!!

The electric motorcycle market now includes options from major manufacturers with decades of engineering experience and global dealer networks. Today, we’re ranking the top 10 electric motorcycles from household names like Honda, BMW, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, KTM, and Zero. These are production models you can actually buy, not concepts or vaporware. Before we start, hit that subscribe button for comprehensive electric motorcycle coverage. We’re counting down from number 10 to number one based on performance, features, value, and realworld practicality. Let’s ride. Number 10, Super Soo TC Max. Chinese manufacturer Vimoto builds the TC Max as a 125 C cm equivalent with premium components. 5 kW of peak power delivers 6.7 horsepower from a Bosch motor. Top speed reaches 55 mph. The 3.2 2 kWh removable battery provides 40 to 60 mi of realworld range. Charging takes 4 hours from empty to full. Weight is 209 lb. Bosch motor delivers German engineering reliability. Brembo brakes provide quality stopping power. The retro styling with round headlight and classic proportions creates timeless aesthetics. European pricing sits around $5,500. Build quality impresses with premium materials and tight tolerances. The problem. Vimoto explicitly states the TC Max is not available in the United States. Their US website lists only scooter models. The TC Max sells in Canada and Europe, but American buyers cannot purchase it through official channels. You’d need to import from Canada, navigate customs, potentially void warranty, and handle parts through unofficial channels. This ranks at number 10 because it represents what’s available globally but not in America. wellexecuted 125 equivalent that most American riders cannot buy. Number nine, Coulter ES1-S Pro. Chinese manufacturer Coulter brings genuine motorcycle engineering to the budget segment with highway capability. 11 kW of peak power delivers 15 horsepower. The Axial Flux mid motor produces 220 new m of wheel torque, which equals 162 lb feet at the rear wheel. that matches or exceeds most 600 cubic centimeter gasoline motorcycles. Top speed reaches 60 to 72 miles per hour with dual battery configuration. The dual battery setup uses two removable 2.3 kWh packs for total capacity of 4.6 kwatt hours. Real world range spans 35 to 65 m. Single battery models have that range. Each battery charges in 2 to 3 hours using level two charging. Weight ranges from 270 to 298 pounds. Pricing is $5,995 for single battery, approximately $6,900 for dual battery. Belt drive eliminates chain maintenance. No adjustments, no lubrication, no cleaning, no replacement. Adjustable suspension and hydraulic disc brakes demonstrate proper engineering. The ES1 model family includes variants for different riding. Base ES1 uses single battery. ES1-D Pro adds dual batteries and belt drive for street use. ES1-XPro uses chain drive with spoked wheels and knobbyby tires for off-road. US dealer network remains limited. Sales handled primarily through Natty Cycle in Northeast. Sierra Electric Motorcycles in California and Smart Wheel USA. Parts and service support challenging outside major metros. Long-term parts availability depends on continued company operations. For riders near Coulter dealers, this represents excellent value. For rural riders hours from dealers, support becomes problematic. Genuine motorcycle performance for under $7,000, but only if you’re near one of the few dealers. Number eight, Rivid Anthem. American startup Rivid manufactures in San Bernardino, California with innovative features. The electronically adjustable seat height is unique in the electric motorcycle segment. 20 kW of peak power translates to 27 horsepower. Top speed exceeds 75 mph. Acceleration from 0 to 30 mph takes 1.1 seconds. The 4.3 kWh removable battery provides 60 to 75 mi of urban range. Highway speeds reduce that to 46 mi. Weight is 315 lb. Electronically adjustable seat height ranges from 31 to 34 in. That adjustability helps riders of different heights. Most motorcycles require expensive modifications to change seat height. The Anthem adjusts at the push of a button. Threedimensional parts cataloges and repair tutorials are publicly available. The company encourages owner maintenance and modifications. 24-month warranty and direct parts availability through the website. Provide support without dealer networks. Ships fully assembled nationwide within 2 to 4 weeks. Order online. bike arrives at your door ready to ride. Pricing dropped from $8,995 to $6,495. The challenge is startup risk. The company launched recently without decades of operational history. Range of 46 mi at highway speeds is adequate but not exceptional. Direct to consumer sales eliminates dealer markups but also eliminates traditional dealer support. For riders prioritizing American manufacturing and owner-friendly repair, this delivers. For conservative buyers wanting established brands, the startup nature creates uncertainty. Innovative American manufacturing with unique features but startup brand without proven longevity. Number seven, KTM Freeride E-XC. Austrian manufacturer KTM brings off-road expertise to electric dirt bikes. This is purpose-built electric dirt bike from a company dominating hard enduro competition. 18 kW of peak power delivers 24.5 horsepower. KTM measures performance in ride time rather than range. The 3.9 kWh battery delivers approximately 1.5 hours of hard riding. Charging takes 80 minutes using standard charger, 50 minutes with optional fast charger. Weight is 243 lb. that’s exceptionally light, providing advantages in technical terrain. WPXAact suspension delivers off-road capability. Formula brakes handle stopping. The lightweight and instant electric torque create unique off-road advantages. No stalling on obstacles. No clutch work on technical climbs. Just smooth instant power delivery. KTM’s reputation for extreme abuse translates to the electric platform. This is proper KTM dirt bike engineering with electric motor. The critical limitation is this cannot be street registered in the United States. Off-road only, pure recreation and sport use. You cannot ride this to trail heads legally. It requires truck or trailer to reach riding areas. Pricing of $11,99 for limited use case. For dedicated trail riders wanting electric dirt bike capability, this delivers. For riders wanting street legal motorcycles, this doesn’t qualify. Excellent electric dirt bike from proven off-road manufacturer, but inability to street register severely limits audience. Number six, Kawasaki Ninja E-1. Japanese giant Kawasaki entered electric motorcycles with beginner focused 125 cm equivalents. 9 kW of peak power delivers 12 horsepower. Top speed reaches 61 mph. Dual removable batteries provide 19 to 25 miles of range per battery. With both batteries installed, total range spans 38 to50 m. Each battery charges in 3.7 hours. Weight is 304 lb. Pricing is $7,599. Dual removable batteries offer convenience. Charge one battery indoors while riding on second battery. Swap batteries in minutes to double range without waiting for charging. Batteries are small enough to carry inside easily. Kawasaki reliability and dealer network provide advantages. Decades of experience and dealers in every state. Parts availability, warranty support, and service infrastructure exist through established channels. Ninja E-1 looks like proper Ninja sport bike in miniature. Styling maintains Kawasaki’s signature aesthetics. The problem is specifications disappoint experienced riders. 12 horsepower and 25 m per battery severely limit use. This functions as electric 125 equivalent for urban commuting under 20 m per day. You cannot take this on highways comfortably. You cannot ride beyond immediate area without anxiety. For brand new riders in dense urban areas, this works. For experienced riders expecting motorcycle performance, this feels inadequate. Price of $7,600 seems expensive for limited capability. Comparable gasoline, 125 bikes cost half as much. Kawasaki’s entry into electric motorcycles is important, but specifications don’t serve experienced riders needs. Number five, Inurgica Experia. Italian manufacturer. Inurgica built the most technologically advanced electric adventure tourer before filing bankruptcy in October 2024. Singaporean investors acquired the company with plans to resume production in 2025, but availability remains uncertain. 80 kW of continuous power with 102 kW peak translates to 107 horsepower continuous 136 horsepower peak. Torque measures 115 new m or 85 lb feet. Top speed reaches 125 mph. The 19.6 6 kWh battery provides approximately 130 mi of mixed riding or 80 to 100 m highway. Optional 22.5 kWh battery extends range further delivering longest range in segment. Weight is $573. Pricing was $23,750 before bankruptcy. The Xeria is the only electric motorcycle with DC fast charging compatible with automotive charging infrastructure. Using CCS connectors, battery charges to 80% in 40 minutes. That’s transformative for touring. Stop for lunch. Plug into DC fast charger at highway rest stop. Continue journey with minimal delay. No other electric motorcycle offers this. Adventure Touring ergonomics, Brembo brakes, premium electronics, and Italian performance create complete package designed specifically for long-distance touring. The problem is Enerica filed bankruptcy and stopped production. Company’s future uncertain despite acquisition until Energ confirms production resumption and dealer support. Purchasing carries enormous risk. You could buy $23,000 motorcycle from company that ceases operations, leaving you with no parts, no warranty, and machine you cannot service. On paper, most advanced electric adventure tour available. In reality, potentially orphan motorcycle from bankrupt manufacturer. Monitor developments closely. If Energ successfully revives, this moves up rankings. Until then, unrealized potential rather than practical purchase. Number four, BMW CE04. German manufacturer BMW Moto offers one electric two-heeler in the United States. It’s technically maxi scooter rather than motorcycle, but it’s the only option from major European manufacturer with US availability. 31 kW of peak power translates to 42 horsepower. Continuous power output is 15 kW. Torque measures 62 new m or 46 lb feet. Top speed reaches 75 mph. The 8.9 kWh battery provides 8.5 kwatt hours usable capacity. Realworld range spans 50 to 65 m. Standard charging takes 4 hours 20 minutes. Optional 6.9 kW charger reduces that to 1 hour 40 minutes. Weight is 59 pound. Pricing ranges from 12,195 to $12,390. Futuristic design turns heads. Lows slung stance, flowing bodywork, and distinctive LED lighting create unmistakable presence. The 10.25 in TFT display provides comprehensive information with split screen capability. Four riding modes, including eco, rain, road, and optional dynamic adjust power delivery and regenerative braking. Connectivity enables smartphone integration. BMW build quality means premium materials and attention to detail. Step through maxi scooter format provides easy mounting and comfortable ergonomics for urban use. The limitation is this is scooter not motorcycle. Step through frame and scooter ergonomics don’t deliver traditional motorcycle riding experience. For riders wanting scooter format with premium execution. This excels for traditional motorcyclists wanting motorcycle feel. This disappoints regardless of quality. Pricing of $12,000 seems expensive for 50 to 65 mi range and scooter ergonomics. At this price, riders can access legitimate motorcycles from other manufacturers with longer range. Only option from major European manufacturer in America, but fundamentally premium scooter rather than motorcycle. Number three, Livewire. S2 Delmare. Harley-Davidson spun off electric division as separate Livewire company. S2 Delmare represents remarkable value after price reductions. Pricing dropped from $15,499 to $9,999. That’s 36% price cut, creating segment’s best performance per dollar. 84 horsepower peak power from 63 kW nominal. Torque measures 194 lb feet or 263 new m. Top speed reaches 103 mph. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph happens in 3.0 seconds. That’s supercar quick. 0 to 30 miles per hour takes 1.2 seconds. Few motorcycles at any price achieve 3 seconds 0 to 60. 1/4 mile estimated around 11 seconds based on powertoweight ratio. The 10.5 kWh battery provides 9 kW usable capacity. Lithium ion cells with liquid cooling for thermal management. Real world range spans 60 to 80 m. mixed conditions depending on riding style and speed. At sustained 75 mph highway speeds, expect approximately 50 m. City riding at lower speeds extends range to 85 mi. Eco mode maximizes range potentially reaching 95 mi urban use. Charging takes 8.4 hours on level one standard household outlet. 2.4 hours on level two using standard 3 kW charging. No DC fast charging support. No option to upgrade charging speed. 2.4 hours represents minimum charging time regardless of charger power. Available weight is 436 lb curb weight ready to ride. That’s exceptionally light. Power to weight ratio approaches superbike territory. Only $193 per horsepower. Current pricing of $9,999 represents extraordinary value proposition. $10,000 buys you supercar acceleration and modern technology. Flat track inspired styling creates distinctive presence unlike any other electric motorcycle. Minimalist bodywork exposes mechanical components. Aggressive stance with forward controls and flat seat. Distinctive LED lighting signature. S2 arrow monocoke chassis uses battery as stressed structural member. Battery housing becomes frame eliminating separate steel or aluminum frame tubes. Reduces weight while improving rigidity. More responsive handling through stiffer chassis. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal. Five ride modes plus two custom configurations enable personalization. Range mode maximates efficiency, limits power to 70%, gentler throttle mapping, maximum regenerative braking. Sport mode delivers full power with aggressive throttle response. Road mode balances performance and efficiency. Rain mode reduces power and intervention for slippery conditions. Custom one and custom two allow saving preferred settings. Cornering enhanced ABS and traction control provides safety. Bosch 9.5M system with sixaxis IMU recognizes lean angle. ABS intervention adjusts based on how far leaned over. Traction control prevents rear wheel spin accounting for lean angle. Sophisticated electronics matching bikes costing twice as much.

Lightweight and immediate torque create addictive acceleration experience. 3 seconds 0 to 60 surprises riders expecting budget performance. Instant electric motor response with zero delay from throttle input to power delivery. Experienced riders report acceleration more violent than 600cc sport bikes despite lower peak power due to instant torque delivery. Firsttime electric riders consistently report acceleration catches them completely offguard in best possible way. Suspension uses non-adjustable inverted fork front with monoshock rear. Tuning is compromised between comfort and performance. Works adequately for street riding but not track focused. Some riders add aftermarket suspension for aggressive use. Showa components but basic specification without adjustability. Brake system uses Juan calipers with dual front discs, single rear disc. Adequate stopping power but not exceptional. Experienced riders sometimes upgrade to higher performance brake pads. Pirelli Diablo Roso Sport tires provide good grip with 120 section front, 150 section rear on 17in wheels. Seat height 830 mm or 32.7 in. Slightly tall for shorter riders. Narrow seat and lightweight help shorter riders manage height. Forward foot controls create cruiser-like ergonomics unusual for performance bike. polarizing riding position. Some riders love aggressive forward stance. Others find it uncomfortable for longer rides. Definitely test ride before purchasing. The serious concern is LiveWire’s financial situation, raising questions about long-term viability. Company sold only 33 units first quarter 2025. 33 motorcycles in 3 months from company burning $94 million operating losses during 2024. Those numbers suggest company in serious trouble. Very low sales volume with massive ongoing losses indicates unsustainable business model. Harley-Davidson may shut down Livewire brand entirely if sales don’t improve dramatically. Parent company has stated willingness to discontinue underperforming brands. Buying Livewire means accepting genuine risk that parts availability, warranty support and service may disappear if company folds. Warranty becomes worthless if company ceases operations. Parts availability questionable if production stops. Software updates and connectivity features disappear if servers shut down. Resale value tanks if brand discontinued. You’re gambling on financially troubled companies survival. However, at $9,999, value is extraordinary if comfortable with that risk. You’re getting supercar acceleration and modern technology for under $10,000. That’s half the price of Zeros SR/S with similar performance. If you ride it for 3 years and enjoy every second before company potentially folds, maybe that’s acceptable. Understand you’re accepting risk. Unbeatable performance per dollar with existential brand risk. Buy for immediate value and enjoyment. Understand long-term support uncertain. Don’t expect this to be 20-year motorcycle you hand down to kids. Treat it as three to fiveyear performance bargain and you’ll be satisfied. Number two, Zeros SR/S. California-based Zero Motorcycles spent over 15 years perfecting electric motorcycle technology. SR/S represents their most refined achievement, combining performance with touring capability. 82 kW peak power delivers 110 horsepower. Nominal continuous power measures 58 kW.
