Go electric EU - Blog!

Since I started looking at ways to add range to electric cars by optimizing air flow, weight and drivetrain, the main idea has been to keep it simple, small and light. Then it struck me, a motorcycle would be perfect for this! And since it’s smaller the cost is lower to!

But someone has always been there before and in this case it’s Eva Håkansson. She’s currently involved in building the worlds fastest motorcycle and she has built an EV motorcycle with her father. This EVMC goes about 80 km (50 miles) at 70 km/h (44 mph) per charge.
