Before rectifying its technical sheet two months later, and to announce a more increased autonomy. If the performance of this two-wheel zero emission was known, the power of its engine and its battery was still a great mystery. A mystery precisely solved.
Unchanged performance
Present in Brooklyn, the Electrek teams were able to meet IRL ( In Real Life) this electrified product expected for the fourth quarter of 2019. Not without having had access to some new information relating to the components of the model: thus, this The last is equipped with a battery of 15.5 kWh guaranteed five years (unlimited mileage) and a motor of 78 kW(106 horses).

Its 225-kilometer range remains the same as the DC Fast Charge (DCFC) allowing it to recover 80% of its energy in just 40 minutes.
The new charging system on the program
The firm from across the Atlantic, however, has added a new level 1 charger, which can be stored under the seat of the bike. In case of use, the machine will recover all of its energy in the space of 10 or 11 hours on average. Also add Brembo Monoblock brakes and Showa suspensions, as well as four driving modes (Sport, Road, Range, and Rain).
