Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #556Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #555 Your guess is as good as mine. But if I had to guess it is likely a chain as that would be the least expensive way to transmit power to the rear wheel, especially if the plan is to make the bike off-road capable as a belt drive is subject to rock damage when ridden in the rough.

That is the way Zero does it, without the belt being enclosed, though. On the other hand, they do offer a chain-drive conversion for owners who spend a lot of time riding off-road.

Looking at the video again it looks to me like the final drive system is a fully enclosed belt drive.

Nothing too exciting in the way of an electric motorcycle coming from KTM or Husqvarna soon. It will get you around town and maybe to commute to work on secondary roads but not much more than that (and at what cost?) But at least they won't need a valve lash inspection or oil change. lol : https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/new-mod...r-2025-44605567

Anyone interested in a custom BMW CE 02 electric motorcycle? It comes with an integrated boom box and an exhaust umbrella.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #564Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #563 A tad small for most folks. I'm thinking it would be a good fit for the guy who yelled, "Da Plane, Da Plane" at the start of "Fantasy Island"

Perhaps not surprisingly, EV charging installation, maintenance and repair technicians are hard to come by, according to this article and a training program is needed.

Maeving RM1S is a small electric motorcycle built in the U.K. It has a hub motor and two removable batteries. It seems like a nice bike for urban and suburban use, especially for riding around England. As small electric motorcycles go, I like the styling. Price is 7.5K pounds:
