Evoke has since then updated the 2018 model. Starting with the Sine Wave Inverter; Evoke Motorcycles has made it smoother, smarter and even more powerful on our 2020 smart electric motorcycles, currently at 800 phase amps, which is double what their 2019 models had.
They have, also, remapped the throttle on their motorcycles too, simultaneously, be more powerful and easier to control, giving it a more natural feeling for better riding experience.
Adding to this, they have adapted a better display with a non-touch LCD screen. In previous models, to switch between modes, our riders would have to park the motorcycles, press a button to unlock the screen, and then switch to their preferred modes.
Charge in 15 minutes. Evoke Says “YES”
Evoke is also working on a battery that will be capable enough to charge between 0 to 80% in 15 minutes. Apart from that we also had a talk with Sebastian Chrobok, VP of Europe Sales last year and the video has below.

LivingWithGravity’s Take
Things we like
Since Evoke’s inception from 2014, we know the efforts that Evoke has put in order to scale the brand and its vision.
Yes and definitely these efforts have borne fruits in terms of expansion plus buyer gets variety whether it is an Urban naked electric motorcycle or an upcoming electric cruiser.
Of course, the cost is another factor that Evoke has managed to keep it low making it more economical for buyers.
Things we don’t like
The power of the motorcycle is low when compared to other electric competitors. but we feel it is decent for your everyday ride and fairly long commute as well.
