As someone who has been riding motorcycles for as long as I can remember, it was beyond intriguing to ride something that didn’t require any gas and just silently cruised along the road until we switched it off.
It made me wonder why we haven’t seen more of this sort of thing until now. After all, technology had existed for decades, and scientists and engineers had undoubtedly found ways to make electric vehicles perform and deliver power better than ever before.
The electric motorcycle market is still in its niche, and it will likely be a while before these machines become a common sight on the streets. Until then, however, several motorcycles made by various companies have been gathering praise from their riders.
The Kolter ES1 from USA is just one example of what can be achieved when technology meets motorized transportation.
Is the ES1 from Kollter a compromise? We don’t think so, but it’s priced to compete and will hit its target audience very well.
It’s pretty much capable of anything you can throw at it too, and with only a couple of batteries to swap out, you won’t be breaking the bank by using this.
It has a beautiful clean design that gives an excellent impression of what motorcycles can look for an Enduro and riding on rough terrain.
The bike brings in restyled mountain bike wheels with an integrated disc brake at the front, while the rear also has a disc brake.
