Riding the Evoke Urban S electric motorcycle in Beijing

[Richard230]

Here is a city riding impression of the Evoke Urban S model.  Sounds like a decent small electric motorcycle, especially if they can keep the price around $10K USD and can find retail dealers to sell and service them, which of course can be a real problem in any country:  https://electricmotorcycles.news/urban-s-from-evoke-motorcycles-first-impressions/

I inquired about this about 1.5 years ago and they said slim chance it would make it to the U.S.

hmm not bad it looks nice.  130KM/H top speed that's about 80MPH barely fast enough for the US but it could work.  Interesting it is a hub motor also, that's not too common.

Still waiting for one of the big four to make an electric bike...

It certainly is fortuitous that we all didn't collectively hold our breaths until the "big" four started marketing a freeway-legal electric motorcycle when Brammo and Zero came on the scene.  We would have all been really blue by now.    As I see it the Japanese are not going to enter the electric motorcycle market until they figure that it is large enough for them to make money selling electric motorcycles and not loose money on every sale.
