Finally, the engine operation remains very silent and does not reject any greenhouse gases or odor.

The power of an electric motorcycle

The motorization of an electric motorcycle equivalent 50 cm3 or 125 cm3 offers an important couple. On the handlebars, this brings almost instantaneous accelerations. The engine “goes up immediately in diet”: there is no latency, as with thermal engines. This couple allows for example to be able to extract themselves very quickly from traffic, from go to fire, or easily detach from other vehicles. Accelerations remain perfectly downside : Maintain a low speed remains easy, especially in zone 30.

Amptly sufficient autonomy for daily use

In the past, fear of “dry breakdown” was one of the main brakes to buy an electric motorcycle. Today and for a few years, the various manufacturers have considerably improved autonomy vehicles, especially thanks to lithium-ion battery technology. Thanks to this progress, the autonomy of the electric motorcycles 50 cm3 or 125 cc allows to reach distances of more than 200 kilometers in a single load, and sometimes more, depending on the model.

The electric motorcycle is at the top of modernity

As if not to contrast with the modernity of their motorization, each of the electric motorcycle models embark a maximum of the elements It is estimated to be entitled to expect on high -tech vehicles: USB port, coupled and disc braking, fully LED lighting, precise information on the battery load state, etc. Some motorcycles can also be equipped with Braking energy recovery, which saves a few small kilometers of autonomy per load.

Recharge the battery from an electric motorcycle

The overwhelming majority of electric motorcycle models can be recharged via A classic 220V socket. This type of taking is present so to speak everywhere.

At home, at work, or with friends

When the battery can be recharged on A 220V socket, Everything you need to take into consideration is the charging time. This type of taking can be found at home, with friends, or at work. To simplify, from the moment when taking “standards” and that it Allows you to recharge your smartphone, It can recharge the battery of your electric motorcycle.

On a public charging station

In addition to being able to be recharged on a domestic 220V socket, the battery of an electric motorcycle can also be recharged on a public charging station. This must be provided with a 220V socket, obviously. On the terminals, they can also be called “type E/F”, but they are exactly in the same format that the sockets at your home. The charging time will be the same only on a domestic socket, and will also require your charger. Professionals or public power having installed these terminals with such sockets have thought of users wishing to recharge so -called “light” vehicles: scooters, bikes, scooters and electric motorcycles.

Your electric motorcycle has a removable battery

If your electric motorcycle has a removable battery, the refills will be simplified. This type of configuration is ideal if you live in an apartment or you do not have a garage with a 220V socket. When you need to recharge your battery, to launch the load, you can then extract it and place it with its charger on a socket.

Load the battery of an electric motorcycle will take a while between two and nine hours. The charging time varies depending on the models. It depends on the capacity of the battery and the power of the charger. Plus a battery has significant autonomy, the more it requires being accompanied by a powerful charger To be recharged quickly.

The advantages of an electric motorcycle in front of thermal

Modern and efficient, the electric motorcycle has many qualities and a lot of advantages Facing thermal motorcycles.

More economical trips

Thanks to its motorization, the electric motorcycle does not require no fossil fuel. So no need to go to the pump, or to worry about the price of gasoline while getting away with your hands. Carry out 100 kilometers will cost you about 40 cents of electricity on an equivalent motorcycle 50 cm3, and between 60 cents and € 1 for a 125 cm3 equivalent. The price difference can be explained very largely by the power difference in the engine: the more powerful it is, The more he consumes. When we report this cost to that of gasoline, your “fuel” monthly budget will decrease drastically: compared to a thermal motorcycle, it will be divided by five, or even ten for the most economical models.

An electric motorcycle is more torquey

The motorization of an electric motorcycle delivers the full of the couple requested as soon as we turn the acceleration handle. There is no need to wait for the engine to take turns, to be on the right report, etc. Everything except “on / off”, with the electric, the couple appears to be available immediately. And all this, in silence and without any engine vibration.

50cc four -stroke thermal motorcycle or electric motorcycle ?

With the various measures taken by the government and the European Union aimed at regulating our greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle engines must become less and less polluting. On the 50cc market, for the consumer, remain thermal motorcycles called “four -stroke” and electric motorcycles.

The advantages of the electric motorcycle in the face of four -stroke motors

In the 50 cm3 equivalent field, the electric motorcycle has several notable advantages in the face of 4 -stroke thermal motorcycles. Its engine is largely more powerful, pleasant, torque and nervous. Unlike the 4 -stroke 50cc motorcycles, No coast scares an electric motor. The transmission being fully automatic, its user will not have to pass the speeds or manage a clutch. The front brake is on the right, the rear brake is on the left. We light the motorcycle, we remove the crutch, we unlock the parking brake… We accelerate, and that’s it.

The advantages of 4 -stroke thermal motorcycles facing the electric motorcycle

The main advantage of a 4 -stroke thermal motorcycle equivalent to 50 cm3 on an electric motorcycle of the same category is its autonomy : its small engine is not very powerful, but consumes relatively little gasoline compared to a two -stroke engine. Average consumption is between two and three liters a hundred kilometers. On their handlebars, it is therefore not uncommon to be able to appreciate a real autonomy of more than 200 kilometers per full, where an electric motorcycle can often reach 80 kilometers per load. In reality, It is extremely rare to need such autonomy on an equivalent 50 cm3.

Electric motorcycle: what are the new features of spring 2023 ?

On the electric motorcycle market, spring 2023 will see some new features arrive. The Talaria XXX, a kind of ultra light supermotard, will be accessible from 14 years old with the AM license. It is directly inspired by the brand’s electric motocross. Another novelty: the Urbet Gadiro, an electric motorcycle equivalent 125 cc. Urban and peri -urban, its maximum speed is 90 km/h. Its batteries are removable. We greatly appreciate its quality / price ratio.

Maintenance of an electric motorcycle

Maintenance of a vehicle is very busy in a budget. Reducing it saves money. In addition to Limit fuel costs, The acquisition of an electric motorcycle limits maintenance costs.

An electric motorcycle is less breakdowns and less maintenance

Composed of many, much fewer parts in motion than the motors of thermal motorcycles, the engine of an electric motorcycle does not require virtually no maintenance. The overwhelming majority of them can accomplish several thousand kilometers without never being opened. The majority being cooled by air, they require no fluids: neither coolant nor engine oil or gearbox.

A reduced cost and less concerns

Thanks to this engine technology, having such a vehicle is cheaper than having a thermal motorcycle. Maintenance is limited in a large part Cycle part, Maintenance costs are lower. For your budget, in addition to a much less expensive “fuel”, it is still an advantage for the electric motorcycle !

Advantages

The electric motorcycle has a number of advantages. First, the game of ecological bonuses allows Reduce the purchase invoice afterwards. On a daily basis, we think for example of its engine power, especially when compared to it with contemporary thermal equivalents. The engine behavior of an electric 50 cm3 equivalent is without comparison with a “4 -stroke” thermal, for example. The absence of vibration, noise and smell makes driving more zen, more pleasant. It will also make it possible to achieve Large fuel savings and maintenance.

The inconvenients

Depending on your use, the main drawback of an electric motorcycle in front of a thermal can be its autonomy. In order to simplify this reflection, let’s separate the uses in two groups: daily journeys which consist in going to your work and join your leisure, friends and family. For these journeys, the autonomy brought by an electric motorcycle will be more than enough in the overwhelming majority of cases, sometimes requiring only one recharge per week. The second great use could be the long weekend walks. To do this, if it is a question of making several hundred kilometers on a day, the electric motorcycle may not be enough for you.
