As electric cars are already gaining popularity every day, it makes sense to shine a light on the electric motorcycles being released as well. From the founder of Buell Motorcycles, Fuell Fllow is now available for pre-order.
Fuell Fllow Electric Motorcycle
The two-wheel vehicle is a mid-sized bike that has 150 miles of city range when it is fully charged. It boasts of its 750Nm torque and 35kW of continuous power. In addition to that, it also has 50L storage and is capable of fast charging.
Using a Level 2 charger, the motorcycle can be fully charged in just 30 minutes. With the standard home charger, the Fuell Fllow will take between an hour and a half to two hours before it's completely charged, as mentioned in Engadget.
According to the creator of the bike, Erik Buell states that one of its main focuses with the brand is the integrated and interchangeable battery packs, which will allow its users to swap it out as it is improved. This also applies to other components like the rear wheel motor and charging socket.
Fuell Fllow can be pre-ordered for $9,995, but the MSRP is $12,995. For an innovative bike, the price is relatively affordable, compared to high-end bikes that can cost you an average of $20,000. Plus, going electric will likely cost you less in the long run.
The motorcycle is regarded as a modern e-commuter that claims to capture the "essence of freedom and innovation" as well as fuse "exhilarating performance, exceptional range, and sustainable mobility into a single extraordinary and future-proof machine."
With the high-capacity 10kWh battery, riders using it for an average 15-mile commute every day will only have to charge it once a week, which can both be a time and energy saver, compared to most EVs that require being charged at least once a day to top it off.
The estimated fee for every charge is $2, although it depends on what type of charger is used and how long the vehicle is plugged in. Its maximum sustained speed can reach up to 85 mph, as well as go zero to 60 in just 3.5 seconds.
The motorcycle has smart features wherein the owner can control, view, and service the vehicle through its integrated dashboard along with its own app. Through there, stats such as ignition, charge level, location, navigation, alarms, and access to storage can be managed.
More Features to Acknowledge
The electric motorcycle also boasts of having an advanced safety system. It allows the user to start the engine through a keyless lock and unlock engagement. It has two ride modes, urban and audacious which both have their own functions.
Urban riding is meant for navigating congested city streets, wherein the vehicle would conserve its energy. It "optimizes power delivery and prioritizes efficiency." Audacious, on the other hand, will allow the rider to use the full potential of the bike by reaching top speeds and acceleration, as per the website.
As for safety features, it's capable of blind spot detection, along with front and rear collision warnings, which is becoming a standard feature for all electric vehicles.
