25 Best Electric Motorcycles of 2023

For all motorcycle lovers out there, the new and improved electric models might be the most efficient mode of transportation. More powerful than an electric bicycle or an electric scooter, but not quite as powerful as an electric car, this sustainable motorcycle is a good compromise between the two.

It’s also more cost-effective than the electric car, especially if you are budget conscious and garage space is limited. Keep in mind that their recharge times are also shorter, which is definitely a bonus, but you probably can’t go as long as with the electric car.

All these considerations will affect the electric bike model you might consider, as well as a few more features you should pay attention to before making your purchase.

Things To Look At 

1. The range is very, very important, especially if you have to travel quite far for work on a daily basis. If you’re going to use an electric motorcycle for pleasure and only ride it a few times a month for short periods of time, then your needs could be different.
2. Comfort is something else to consider. Again, if it’s your main mode of transportation around town you need a comfortable seat, adjustable pedals, and shocks that will offer you a bump-free ride.
3. But probably the most important thing to look at is.. the bike’s safety features. Apart from having decent brakes, the new electric motorcycles are equipped with 360-degree cameras and smart rider assistance, which ensure your safety, and that’s a small part of their impressive feature line-up.
4. Speed is also an important factor for the adrenaline junkies, and there are a few models that can go past 200 mph, although most of them do not pass the 100-125 mph range.
5. And, last but definitely not least, the look. There are various models to choose from and it all comes down to taste. As you will notice they all have their particularities, so you must choose one that you will enjoy riding as much as its esthetics.

We will now show you which 25 models made our list of the best electric motorcycles of 2023.
