The motorcycle segment, especially with the onset of electric vehicles is buzzing with innovation. Among the latest to charge up the scene is the Velocifero Race-X Scrambler. This bike is a fresh take on electric mobility, combining the thrill of riding with the practicality needed for everyday use. It’s a machine that doesn’t just get you from point A to B; it promises an experience that caters to both the heart and the mind.
The battery charges from zero to hundred in 2.5 hours
Presented at EICMA 2023, the Velocifero Race-X is a middle-ground marvel. It doesn’t just focus on raw performance or bare-minimum commuting capabilities; instead, it delivers a balanced package. With a modest 5 kilowatt (6.7 horsepower) electric motor, it might seem underpowered on paper, but in reality, it punches above its weight thanks to its torquey nature and instantaneous power delivery.
Its 6.48 kilowatt-hour battery can be fully charged in just 2.5 hours and offers an impressive range of over 100 miles on a single charge. This makes the Race-X a viable option for both daily commutes and spirited weekend rides. The inclusion of multiple riding modes such as P, Eco, Sport, and Sport+ ensures that riders can tailor their experience to the road conditions or their mood.
The design, while modern, is simple, featuring an inverted front fork and a single rear shock absorber. The wheels are a unique pairing of 17-inch at the front and 15-inch at the rear, shod with a 160/60 tire, contributing to its distinctive stance. This smaller scale and accessible power make it an ideal choice for riders as young as 16, promoting inclusivity in the electric bike community.
While the bike’s production in China may raise eyebrows for some, it speaks to a broader narrative of globalization and the pursuit of balancing cost with innovation. As the electric motorcycle industry evolves, it’s bikes like the Velocifero Race-X that are setting the pace for a future where fun and function can coexist on two wheels.
