This is what Laura Thompson, a specialist journalist for Motorcycle News, who was able to follow the 16th British Army Air Assault Brigade during exercises in France. According to the British military, and in the opinion of Dan Lauder, the captain of the unit, the On Ron Firefly cyclos have characteristics perfectly suited to serve under the flag.Starting with the low weight of the two-wheeler (only 47 kg) which gives it better mobility on land, but also an advantage for aerial use. Thus, it can easily be taken on board aircraft and even be parachuted into tactical locations.

Equipped with an electric motor with an output of 8 hp (6 kW), the Firefly can aim up to 75 km / h at top speed. In addition, the electric fairy quieter than a heat engine offers the stealth expected by the military. The increased ground clearance and all-terrain tires are also advantages off the beaten track.Remember that Sur Ron is already present in Europe with resellers in Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Belgium.

SR Motos, a Kolkata-based EV startup specialising in electric off-road motorcycles, is working on a full-fledged electric motocross bike. And before you doubt their caliber, let us tell you that the company already has eight e-bikes in its portfolio.

This one, though, dubbed the Project SR 13, aims to be the company’s flagship product. From what we know, the chassis and suspension is borrowed from a Hero Impulse while the bodywork comes from the Honda CRF150. Coming to the motor, the company hasn’t released the full specifications yet. Instead, to give us an idea, it has posted a 100m drag race between the SR 13 and the KTM 390 Adventure. And to our astonishment, the SR 13 keeps up with the 43PS petrol-powered ADV.

To add to this, SR Motors has also posted many videos of the SR 13 undergoing extensive off-road testing, which again gives an idea of its capabilities. More details are expected to follow soon, so stay tuned to ZigWheels.

Since the SR 13 electric bike is still in its testing phase, it’s still some time away from going on sale. But whenever it does, we’re certain it’ll serve as a potent, environment-friendly alternative to ICE motocross bikes.
