Many of the personal electric transportation solutions on or coming to the market are built with urban environments in mind, but the E-Racer Rugged aims to take things in a decidedly off-road-ready direction.
The prototype electric motorcycle was show off at the EICMA Motorcycle Show and is built from a Zero FXS to make it suitable for immediate production with the first crop of units set to hit the market by Spring 2020. The bike features a Z-Force motor with 46 horsepower that's powered by a 7.2kWh battery pack that work together to hit a top speed of 85mph with a 100 mile range.
The E-Racer Rugged motorcycle features 360-degree LED lighting, a lightweight aluminum frame, carbon fiber bodywork throughout and much more. The conversion kit is priced starting at $6,640.
