Electric motorcycles make it possible for motorcyclists to establish independence from crude oil, and vicariously save money on gasoline-related expenses. But despite this awesome perk, many e sports bike fans are unable to pursue the eco-friendly mode of transportation due to steep MSRPs.
Upon finding out this information, Ryvid, an electric powersports machine manufacturer, decided to develop a cheap e motorcycle that is capable of meeting the needs of most bikers. Read on to find out more.
Ryvid Anthem Electric Motorcycle
The super cheap electric motorcycle known as Anthem is designed for the daily commute and has an MSRP of $7,800. But considering the aforementioned price is inexpensive compared to other models, such as the e powered Harley Davidson LiveWire, many sports bike enthusiasts may think the Ryvid e motorcycle is made of cheap components.
Taking this into consideration, we explore the subject down below.
Non-Cheap Electric Sports Bike Features
As we mentioned above, the Anthem sports bike is reported to be designed for commuting. To back up this claim, Ryvid bestowed the powersports machine with the following.
- DOT approved gear
- Corrosion resistant frame
- Adjustable front and rear suspension
- Saddle has room for two
- Weight capacity of 400 lbs
- Seat is height adjustable between 30-34”
- Front and back disc brakes
- Left and right mounted brake levers
- Low center of gravity
- 4.9″ TFT display
- 52” wheelbase
In addition, the new electric motorcycle comes with technological advances that are often portrayed to be super expensive, such as those listed hereafter.
- Quiet motor, drive belt, clutchless direct drive transmission, and cooling system are fully enclosed in the same housing unit to improve durability as well as reduce maintenance
- Removable, lockable, 4.3 kWh lithium-ion battery features built-in wheels and is capable of fully charging in 3-hours via a 220V outlet
With the components listed above, Anthem is able to generate about 53 ft-lb of torque and achieve a top speed of over 75 miles per hour. And as if that was not impressive enough, the electric sports bike typically gets over 75 miles per charge in eco-friendly mode.
Non-Gas Powered Motorcycle
Clearly, the sports bike from Ryvid appears to be a worthwhile investment. Nevertheless, there are quite a few noteworthy details consumers are encouraged to review prior to purchase, and some are outlined below.
- Anthem lacks a front fender
- Back rear fender appears to be attached on one side
- Electric sports bike must be registered with the local DMV
