The first American electric cruiser. Curtiss One electric motorcycle is already available for pre-order, but needs more than $ 100,000

The market for electric motorcycles is probably not growing as fast as the market for electric vehicles, but such vehicles are becoming more and more popular.

Sport bikes are often on the agenda, but Curtiss Motorcycles has begun accepting pre-orders for the first electric cruiser in the US, the Curtiss One.

The motorcycle looks very unusual and obviously not everyone will like it. It is also very expensive. In the first batch of 15 copies, the price is $ 115,000. In 2022, another 100 motorcycles will be released, and the price will drop to $ 78,000, which is still a lot.

What does the buyer get for this money? The manufacturer claims that the Curtiss One is equipped with the most powerful motor in the world. Of course in this class. Engine power reaches 217 hp, but the figure is electronically limited to 120 hp. Why this is done is not exactly clear, Curtiss Motorcycles is talking about the future of the engine, so it is likely that a charged version of the motorcycle will simply be released later.

The Power Pak has a capacity of 16.8 kWh, liquid cooled and a crumple zone in the event of a collision. The manufacturer does not specify the range of travel, but with a mass of only 193 kg, one should expect normal indicators. By the way, such a mass was achieved thanks to the active use of carbon.
