Electric vehicles have long been portrayed as the future. So it’s no surprise that automakers have left no stone unturned in incorporating this vision into their design language. As a result, we have some of the coolest-looking motorcycles today, all from the EV world. Even among that group, there are a few electric bikes that are certified head-turners with futuristic looks. The absence of a gasoline engine and all its assistive components helps manufacturers defy many engineering norms, creating motorcycles that were previously possible only virtually. From a $100,000+ motorcycle that looks straight out of Tron to funky-looking electric scrambler-styled commuters, this list covers them all.
To give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from authoritative sources, including Arc Vehicle, Verge Motorcycles, Zero Motorcycles, Ryvid USA, Can-Am BRP USA, Kawasaki Motorcycles USA, Livewire USA, BMW Motorrad USA, and Maeving USA. This list is organized in decreasing order of pricing, from the most expensive to the most affordable show-stopper electric motorcycles today.
Arc Vector
Price: $128,000
Arc VectorArc Vehicle
This is a wild-looking motorcycle with its prancing panther stance and floating design elements. The Arc Vector is also the most expensive of this bunch, at nearly $128,000. No bike on the market can match the Arc Vector’s sophisticated and futuristic design, except for the Aston Martin AMB 001. But then again, that’s of the ICE world and will never match the Vector’s insane 610 pound-feet of torque rating. Despite packing a hefty 16.8 kWh battery pack, the Vector weighs just 529 pounds, thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber for almost all its body panels.

This 200-horsepower electric motorcycle is renowned for its hubless rear wheel design, which enhances its futuristic appeal and houses the electric motor. The design is radical and has a stance similar to a power cruiser. Its edgy design is unique and adds to its strong Sci-Fi vibes. The entire setup operates similarly to a maglev train, with minimal friction. All of this contributes to making the Verge TS Ultra the most powerful series production electric motorcycle available today. Thanks to a whooping 885 pound-feet of torque, this electric cruiser-eque streetfighter does 0-60 in just 2.6 seconds.

Zero DSR/X
Price: $22,995
Rider on a 2025 Zero DSR/XZero Motorcycles
The Zero DSR/X is a purpose-built, all-electric ADV that boasts a sleek and muscular design. Zero has strived to balance a futuristic design and practical elements on its go-anywhere ADV. The clean and sharp lines are contrasted with rugged elements like a metal skid plate, frame guards, auxiliary lights, and aggressive off-road-ready footpegs.
Powering this head-turner is a sizable 17.3 kWh battery pack that powers a permanent magnet AC motor to produce 100 horsepower and 169 pound-feet of torque. Despite the chunky battery pack, this ADV weighs relatively low for an EV, at 545 pounds. This also results in its 0-60 time of under 3 seconds.

Zero SR/S

2025 Zero SR/S electric sports bikeZero Motorcycles
The Zero SR/S is an electric sports bike that looks as fast as it goes. It is powered by the same motor and battery size combo as the aforementioned Zero ADV, but has a more aggressive tune to produce 111 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. The sleek design language, with its unique headlamp design and clean rear section, greatly complements its high-speed nature. However, despite all of its visual aggressive, the SR/S has a relatively relaxed rider triangle with a fairly upright torso. If we compare it to an ICE-sports bike, it would be the Honda CBR650R.

Livewire S2 Mulholland
Price: $16,499
LiveWire
This is Harley-Davidson’s vision of a new-age urban-friendly cruiser bike. The S2 Mulholland features a unique and minimalist design language that retains the traditional silhouette of a low-slung cruiser bike, with the fuel tank serving as the focal point. The tall front section is characterized by long-travel suspension and bar-end mirrors, which lend a cool custom look. Power comes from a juicy electric motor that produces a whopping 194 pound-feet of torque. This city-friendly cruiser weighs 432 pounds, has a range of 120 miles, and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds.

Can-Am Origin

Rider on a 2025 Can-Am OriginCan-Am
Can-Am has returned to the two-wheeled world after a long time, and the all-electric Origin ADV is a looker that cannot be missed. The Origin is a homage to Can-Am’s dirt bike roots, with a tall stance and rugged construction. It features sleek turn signals and a vertically stacked headlamp layout that strongly reminds us of the CFMoto Ibex 450. With a Rotax e-power electric motor coupled to an 8.9 kWh battery pack, this entry-level ADV-cum-dual-sport produces 47 horsepower and 53 pound-feet of torque. The design is also reciprocative of the segment, with a compact and slim construction. Props to Can-Am for transforming simple shades of white and black into cool-looking ones on the Origin.

BMW CE 04
Price: $12,195
2025 BMW CE 04BMW
BMW has nailed the cyberpunk-styled design with the CE 04 electric scooter. It brings concept bike design into the real world, accented with numerous sharp and edgy body panels, and boasts a substantial road presence. The design might look impractical, but behind its bulbous body panels is a neatly integrated storage space, enough to store a full-sized helmet. The low-slung stance helps achieve a lower center of gravity, which should enhance nimble riding dynamics. Powering this futuristic BMW scooter is a liquid-cooled electric motor coupled to an 8.0 kWh battery pack, producing 42 horsepower and 46 pound-feet of torque. This is ample power to enable the CE 04 to accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in under 2.6 seconds.

Maeving RM1S

Maeving RM1SMaeving
With a humble hub motor and a 5.46 kWh battery pack, producing 15 horsepower and 193 pound-feet of torque, and boasting a maximum range of 80 miles, the Maeving RM1S is not quite a thrilling electric bike in terms of performance or riding range. But it beautifully blends old-school charm with modern battery technology. Despite having a minimalist design, the RM1S features a custom bobber design, complete with a round headlight enclosure, full-sized front and rear fenders, and a classic faux-fuel tank (actually a storage compartment for a second battery pack). The tail section is clean, featuring a bobber-inspired floating seat wrapped in a premium saddle cover. Other retro-vibing design elements include a semi-digital circular display and a suite of gorgeous paint jobs, with three dual-tone paint options as well.

Kawasaki Ninja e-1

Front action shot of 2024 Kawasaki Ninja E-1 electric sports bike on urban streets.Kawasaki
Traditional automakers have not had a pretty start when it comes to performance electric bikes. Kawasaki is a prime example, as it slapped on the “Ninja” nameplate on a 12-horsepower electric bike. But the Ninja e-1 is arguably the sharpest-looking all-electric sports bike available today, for under $8,000.
Kawasaki has effectively infused the Ninja flavor here. Under the fairings sits an air-cooled motor that is coupled to a removable 3.0 kWh battery pack. Thanks to nearly 30 pound-feet of torque, this Ninja is peppy. Couple that with a manageable curb weight of 309 pounds, and we have an intimidating Ninja that is easy to ride about in cities.

Ryvid Outset
Price: $7,495
Ryvid
The funky-looking Ryvid Outset is the most affordable electric motorcycle currently available. Its design takes cues from various motorcycle styles, including mini-motos, scramblers, and supermotos. It features a sleek rear section and a slim seat design, similar to supermotos. The suspension travel is relatively tall, and the cute yet cool-looking beak is reminiscent of scramblers and dual-sports.
The minimalist design helps keep the footprint down, giving it a mini-moto look, despite being a full-sized EV. Powering the Ryvid Outset is an air-cooled DC motor that is coupled to a removable 4.3 kWh battery pack. It produces 250 pound-feet of torque, which helps this peppy urban runabout accelerate from 0 to 30 in an impressive 1.1 seconds.
