Electric motorcycles and scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels. Power is supplied by a rechargeable battery that drives one or more electric motors. Electric scooters are distinguished from motorcycles by having a step-through frame, instead of being straddled. Electric bicycles are similar vehicles, distinguished by retaining the ability to be propelled by the rider pedaling in addition to battery propulsion.
Benefits of Electric Motorcycle
Environmentally-friendly
One of the main advantages of electric motorcycles is the fact that they use limited non-renewable fuel and don’t pump out a lot of harmful emissions. These bikes are designed to go easier on the environment and reduce your carbon footprint. Newer models will have recyclable batteries and the option to charge from a renewable power source, like the solar power source in your home.
Less expenditure
Currently, electric motorcycles have higher sticker prices than their gas counterparts but they are more cost-effective in the long run. You’ll obviously save a lot of money by not needing fuel fill-ups. Apart from this, some governments are working to provide special incentive programs on their purchase price and taxes. If you have a renewable source of power, your savings will be even higher.
Easy daily commuting
These bikes are often more lightweight and easier to ride, so you reach your destination feeling upbeat instead of being tired and sweaty. It’s also much easier to park these sleek beasts and zip through traffic instead of waiting around. Electric motorcycles are designed with regenerative braking, which means they’ll recharge the battery while you drive around to your heart’s content.
Less noise
Some riders will talk about how much they love the roar of their bikes, but you have to admit that it can increase noise pollution and even end up annoying your neighbors and fellow commuters. If you like to listen to soft music as your ride, you can’t do that with a traditional model. Electric motorcycles are so quiet that some manufacturers actually add artificial sound to them just so others can hear you coming.
Low maintenance
Another awesome benefit of electric motorcycles is that they do away with components like air filters, spark plugs, oil, and sometimes even gearboxes and clutches. With fewer parts to repair and maintain, you spend less time and money on service and repairs. Even the brake pads on electric motorbikes last longer because the machine does a lot of the braking. That means you get more fun and less hassle from your new bike.
Instant torque
Electric vehicles are engineered to be fast. They hold the Pikes Peak hill climb record, not only for bikes, but also for cars! This is because of the instant 100% torque that provides rapid acceleration. The power delivery is so smooth and even that you don’t even get the surge feeling that you get when you accelerate on traditional bikes.
Good health and lifestyle
When you ride an electric motorcycle, you have the option of switching between using the motor and pedaling. This is a good exercise and can help you stay in shape. You can pedal when you like and switch to the motor when you get tired. Running errands on electric bikes is cheaper, easier and faster than using your motorcycle or car.
Although the sight of motorcycles with a green license plate on European roads is far from being a standard, more and more electric motorcycles are hitting the streets every year. Importantly, the newly emerging models are characterized by really good parameters, so that they can already not only compete with combustion motorcycles, but also surpass them in many respects.
The most popular models of electric motorcycles that are already widely available for sale are sportbikes, enduro, naked and cruisers. The former are designed with parameters such as speed, acceleration and braking in mind, sometimes even at the expense of riding comfort or cost-effective operation. They are designed primarily for professional motorcyclists. Enduro motorcycles are used for motorcycle sport, which involves taking a specific route. Naked motorcycles are motorcycles that have the characteristics of sports motorcycles, but without fairings and a windshield. Their specific design allows them to efficiently negotiate corners at very high speeds. The last type is electric cruisers, which are motorcycles designed for tourism and covering long-distance routes.
Top 5 Tips For Charging an Electric Motorcycle
Proximity to electrical outlet
Ensure proximity to an electrical outlet when parking your motorcycle, even using an extension cable if necessary.
Strategic planning
Plan ahead for charging; plug in after rides when the battery is low to accommodate the hours-long charging time.
Prevent overcharging
Avoid overcharging to preserve lithium battery life; it’s fine to charge overnight, but don’t leave it plugged in for an entire winter.
Avoid complete battery drain
Don’t let the battery drain completely. Start charging at 25-30% to extend your battery lifespan.
Temperature considerations
Store and charge the battery at room temperature (32-95°F or 0-35°C); extreme temperatures can harm it. Never overcharge it outside when the temperature drops.
How Does an Electric Motorcycle Work
Charging the battery
The magic starts with the battery of your electric motorcycle. Charging it is similar to that of an electric car that uses an electric charging station or outlet installed near your housing area. It can take anywhere between 4 to 24 hours to reach full charge, depending on the type of battery your motorcycle has. For example, lithium batteries are fast-charging and can be fully recharged within 1 to 2 hours. Where else, a lead acid battery will take over 12 hours to charge to full capacity.
Starting the engine
Once you charge the battery, you can start your electric motorcycle with just a turn of the key – very much like a conventional motorbike. What’s different is, instead of the pistons moving up and down in the cylinder block, driven by explosions of a fuel-air mixture that has been ignited by a spark, the electric motorcycle just transforms the power from the battery directly to the engine.
Power generation
To generate power to move, you have to ensure that electricity from the battery pack is delivered to the engine of your electric motorbike. In other words, your electric motorcycle will not move or accelerate if its battery is not charged. It’s pretty much like trying to ride a conventional motorbike with an empty fuel tank.
Acceleration
When you accelerate on your electric motorcycle with a twist of the throttle, the power going out from the battery into the electric engine will increase. Moving parts within the engine will transfer the power into the sprockets and the chain will start moving. Movement of the chain will activate rotation of the rear wheel and your motorcycle will start going forward.
Components of Electric Motorcycle
- Power supply:
The power supply provides power to the electric motorcycle's drive motor, which converts the power supply into mechanical energy, either through the transmission or directly driving the wheels and the working device. Today, the most widely used power source in electric vehicles is the Lead-acid battery, but with the development of electric vehicle technology, the Lead-acid battery has lower specific energy, a slower charging speed, and a shorter life span, which is being replaced by other batteries. The application of a new power supply is being developed, which opens up a broad prospect for the development of electric vehicles.
- Driving device:
Driving device is the role of the motor driving torque through the wheel into the ground force, driving the wheel to walk. It is the same as any other car and consists of wheels, tires, suspension, etc...
- Brake:
Electric motorcycle brakes, like those of any other vehicle, are designed to slow down or stop a vehicle, usually consisting of a brake and its controls. In an electric motorcycle, there are generally electromagnetic braking devices, which can use the control circuit of the driving motor to realize the power generation operation of the motor, so that the energy when decelerating and braking is converted into the current to charge the battery, so they can be recycled.
How to Maintain Electric Motorcycle
Battery care and maintenance
The main source of power for electric motorbikes is their battery. Thus, it is the one component you should always maintain to ensure your bike keeps running smoothly.
Regularly inspect the lithium ion battery’s state of charge, as riding with an undercharge can affect its performance and longevity. Batteries should also be stored in a cool and dry location away from direct sunlight when not being used, and completely discharging it on one ride will reduce battery longevity significantly.
Motor and controller checks
The engine is responsible for transferring the power from the battery to your bike in order to keep it running smoothly. It’s important to clean the motor and controller components to get rid of any dust or debris that may build up over time and potentially impact the performance of your motorbike.
Additionally, make sure to inspect these parts for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections to ensure that they are functioning properly. Pay attention to any wires, as they have the potential to cause a circuit in your engine, which could lead to internal damage.
Brake system maintenance
You should periodically inspect your brake pads for wear and tear. Worn-out brake pads may not provide you with efficient braking. Thus, you should replace them as needed. Also, try to examine the brake discs for any signs of damage or warping.
Moreover, try to maintain the brake fluid at the recommended level set by your manufacturer. Low brake fluid can lead to reduced brake performance and, thus, should be addressed promptly.
Tire pressure inspection and maintenance
Regularly check tire pressure and tread to reduce the pressure off your motorbike’s engine. Ensure that your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
Also, inspect the tire tread for signs of wear and tear, as this may prove to be dangerous and lead to accidents. Try to replace tires when the tread is too low so that you can ride safely.
Cleaning and protecting the bike
Cleaning your e-motorbike is an important part of your bike’s maintenance process. However, when cleaning your electric motorbike, try to use products specifically designed for motorcycles. Try to avoid abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Also, be cautious when using water for cleaning. Avoid spraying water directly on sensitive electrical components, such as connectors and the battery, to prevent damage to these parts.
Regular software updates
Your e-motorbike functions on software pre-installed by your manufacturer. This software shows you vital stats about your bike, apart from speed and battery level.
Your bike manufacturer might occasionally release software updates that can enhance the performance, battery management, and safety features of your bike. It is recommended to check for and install these updates to improve your riding experience.
Checking and tightening bolts and fasteners
You should periodically inspect all bolts, fasteners, and critical components of your e-motorbike for tightness. Loose parts can pose a safety risk, so ensure they are properly secured.
You should pay particular attention to areas like the handlebars, mirrors, and suspension components, as these are the areas that are held together by different bolts.
Storage tips for extended downtime
If you plan to store your electric motorbike for an extended period, try to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for battery storage. This generally involves maintaining the battery at a certain charge level to prevent its degradation.
Also, store your bike in a dry, cool place, like indoors, to protect it from extreme temperature conditions, moisture, and other environmental factors that can cause wear and damage.
Lubrication of moving parts
Just like a regular motorbike, your e-motorbike also needs lubricants. Thus, apply appropriate lubricants to moving parts like the chain and pivot points to reduce friction and prolong their lifespan.
However, before using any type of lubricant, it is a good idea to consult your bike’s manual for guidance on lubrication and recommended products you should use.
Maintain the spark plug or air filters (if applicable)
If your electric motorcycle features spark plugs or air filters (some hybrid models might), follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for their care and upkeep, which may involve cleaning or replacing them periodically.
However, many electric motorcycles do not have spark plugs or air filters, as they rely on electric motors instead of internal combustion engines.
How to Choose a Suitable Electric Motorcycle
Decide what you will use your motorcycle for
In the past, the main motivation for purchasing an electric bike would be to reduce your carbon footprint. However, with electric motorcycles now going toe-to-toe with petrol models in terms of performance and variety, you can now choose bikes that fit your specific riding needs.
Range
Range refers to the total distance your bike can do per charge. The total range estimate given on a motorbike’s specification can be affected by a few different factors, such as:
- Rider’s style
- Weather conditions
- Traffic
- Road type
- Rider’s height and weight
When considering the best electric bike for you, it’s essential to make some estimations. These will not only include your daily mileage but also the nature of your route (e.g. city streets, highways, rural areas, and access to charging stations).
Power, torque, and speed
Now that you’ve considered what you’re using the bike for and the range it’s capable of, let’s move on to the bike’s power, torque, and speed. In other words, what can you expect when you nail that throttle?
Charging time and charging stations
The length of time it takes to put the life back into your battery is probably as important as the range available on a full charge. Most electric motorcycles have built-in level one and level two chargers.
Advanced technology & connectivity
Electric motorcycles have the benefit of being more technologically advanced than their ICE counterparts. On top of a more interactive dash, the electric motorcycles are upping their tech game by implementing advanced safety features to enhance rider safety.
Seat height, bike position, and vehicle weight
It’s essential that the bike you choose has the correct dimensions and weight as well as the right seat height. Proper motorcycle ergonomics means you’ll be comfortable and in control of your bike no matter your riding position.
Battery life
This is an important question – let’s face it, the battery is the very heart of the bike. To be clear, this is the number of times the battery can be recharged and not the range of a fully charged battery.
Warranty
All-electric motorbike manufacturers are obliged to provide a warranty. The small print differs significantly, but apart from covering frame and cycle parts, the warranty should cover the battery’s shelf-life.
Cost and incentives
There is an electric motorbike to suit any budget. No longer are electric bikes only available to the super-wealthy and environmentally conscious. Technology and bike engineering are now at a place where you can order a high-powered electric sports bike for as little as $264 a month.
