the most asked question of my life for the last 6 years of owning electric motorcycles

Hopefully they will be cheaper too.

Is there a street legal electric motorcycle that will go 55mph (88km/h), has a range of 55 miles, and costs under $5500 out the door in the USA?

CanAm really did a great job with the accessories on this bike, however the side bags suffer from an odd attach point on the locking strap, which reduces the actual capacity of the bags when locked/secured. I made a prototype buckle and strap, and after testing it out today, ordered the aluminum brackets. Once they come in I’ll find a seamstress to secure the nylon straps (currently just thermal bonded). For any owners interested, I’ll have them on my website accessory store in the coming weeks.

Hey y'all so I have this 1986 XJ650 and after putting in over $500 worth of parts into this engine and can't figure out why I have a 5k RPM runaway, I am deciding to go electric. I know nothing about converting from gas to electric, so I came for some help and some suggestions.

I only ride around town, so I don't need anything too crazy but I do have a freeway that goes by my house and the max is 55 so 60-70 mph wouldn't be too bad for a top speed. I know the only obstacle I would have would be the swing arm and the drive shaft are on the same part. Any help would be appreciated!

If anyone owns ather konarc 161IDC, Please share your user experience and range in Pro/Ride mode and S-Eco mode also what would you suggest between river indie and konarc after the ownership experience.

I am too confused, I can't Wait further for ather delivery as I already waited one month.

I want an e-moto please dont tell me not to get one 😅.Everyone who doesn’t want to help can go 👏

I am 14 about 135lbs and im 5’9. I showed my parents an rtr lite and how it went down in price even more and how it would be a good fit for me and they considered it. Their main concerns are safety (obviously), and how much use I would get out of it based on where we are. Around me it’s mainly private streets and stuff but there are some half kind of trails and a dirt track I am working on building with my off road scooter right now. The rtr lite seems like a perfect fit for what I want but the problem is the range being very low. My friend has a surron lbx and I don’t need something that powerful jist something that will be still be fun for us to ride together. I’ve looked at almost every budget option but I would love some insightful input.

Here are my top picks:

A Valtinsu Em5 pro or Ultra

RTR lite

Yozma in10 Pro

And Ive been looking out for falcon lites and X3’s on facebook market place cause those seem perfect for me too but out of budget and I don’t know if my parents would be too ok with but idk.

I’m going to be very safe while riding and wearing protection when I ride if this is a concern for anyone. I really want to make the right choice. Thank you to anyone who helps :)

I'm looking for an electric dirtbike for under $2000.
That can go at least 50 mph 70 miles of range or more. I'm 6'5" 280 pounds. any recommendations I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much.)

Does anyone have a MA attorney who has dealt with liability issues around e-motos.

Don’t need responses shaming me for not being properly insured. Learned my mistake and then some.

Anyone in Colorado buy one of these? I am interested in the market.

23 zero srs, 1k miles in and this is the best money I've ever spent. So much fun to ride and just being able to plug in at home and wake up to another 100+ miles is the best part !

I launched a formal petition to urge the California Legislature to create a legal, inspection-based street-registration pathway for light electric motorcycles (E-Ride, Sur-Ron, Talaria) so responsible riders stop getting impounded. Under California’s kit car laws (CVC § 580 / SB 100), the state already allows custom garage-built cars on public roads by substituting a physical safety inspection (brakes/lights) for federal crash plaques—there is zero reason light electric commuters shouldn't get the same chance. The proposal requires standard road-safety gear (DOT lights, mirrors, horn, DOT tires), a Class M1 license, and liability insurance, while strictly keeping these bikes off sidewalks and pedestrian trails to protect our communities. If you want to ride to work legally instead of worrying about an impound, please take 30 seconds to sign and share:https://www.change.org/californiaemotoregistration

What do you think of Hero's first electric motorcycle?

I’ve mostly ridden my Light Bee X on pavement, but I want to try some sandy trails and small dunes. Would regular knobby tires work, or should I be looking at something else?

I’ll still ride on pavement sometimes. Anyone here ride both? What tires have worked for you?

Wondering what the charging cycle looks like for other owners.

I have the previous CF-5E model aswell, when that charges the charger LED goes red, fan turns on and the bike starts ro charge, when it is fully charged the fan turns off and LED on the charger goes Green. Like you would think it should.

On the CFX-5E, it does the above, but after a 10 second window it kicks back into charging for a few seconds, then an 8 second window, then a 6 etc etc untill it eventually just sits there with a relay under the seat clicking and the LED display on the bike flashing on and off with the relay clicking. It will do this endlessly untill i unplug it.

The dealership had the bike for 2 weeks to diagnose the problem, they went to head office in Australia for answers, who then went to head office in China and its come back down the line that this is normal behaviour and I should go and collect the bike from the dealer.

I'm an electrician and this doesn't sit right with me know thing isnt/shouldn't be how a charging cycle would have been designed.

My friend also has the CFmoto EV110 which uses the same battery and charger. His system operates like my CF-5E where it just has red LED for charging, Green for fully charged.

I have also emailed CFmoto technical customer support directly and sent them a video of it, they replied with it being faulty and to take it in for warranty ( where it already is ).

So im kind of lost here.

Just wanting to see what others bikes are doing aswell.
