These are the low-cost electric motorcycles that Americans can buy now

While many electric motorcycles are still plagued by high prices, there are a surprising number of affordable options on the market in North America. All of the electric motorcycles featured here are either already rolling on America’s roads or are expected to become available in the coming months.To get more news about ebike, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

And while we’re at it, let’s put terms like “low-cost” and “affordable” into perspective. In the same way that $17,000 for an e-bike is expensive while $17,000 for a house is remarkably affordable, all of these terms are relative.

So when we consider what makes a low-cost electric motorcycle affordable, we’re comparing to the current leaders of the industry, such as a $20,000 Zero SR/F or a $30,000 Harley-Davidson LiveWire.

We’ll start with a bike that was actually one of my first low-cost electric motorcycles, the CSC City Slicker.

I first threw my leg over one of these bad boys in late 2018 and put about six months of riding on it. The bike hasn’t changed much, but when I reviewed the 2020 version last year it had only gotten better.The urban-oriented electric motorcycle tops out at 46 mph (75 km/h) but still works great in the city. This of course isn’t an interstate vehicle – I did one exit on a freeway and considered my contribution to science complete. But for local riding, it’s a great little urban vehicle.

The City Slicker fits two riders, puts out around 4 kW of peak power, and gets around 30 miles (50 km) of range before you have to lug its removable battery inside for charging (or leave it on the bike if you’re lucky enough to have a garage to charge in).The dealer fees push the final price closer to $2,800, but the company ships for free all over the US from their Azusa, California, headquarters.

And while they aren’t full motorcycles, CSC also offers Vespa-style electric scooters known as the CSC Monterey and CSC Wiz. Both are worth checking out!They have a couple of side-by-side electric UTVs planned for later this year and next year, but they’ll be launching their first electric motorcycle in the next few months.

Priced at just under $6,000, the Volcon Grunt is an off-road electric motorcycle sporting a top speed of 60 mph (96 km/h). Its 35 kW (50 hp) motor is quite powerful for all sorts of dirt riding, and the bike’s fat tires will feel right at home in loose terrain.Huck Cycles technically builds mopeds, not a full electric motorcycles. But with speeds approaching 60 mph (96 km/h), we’re going to lump Huck’s bikes in together as effectively small electric motorcycles.

Huck Cycles is a North Carolina-based and veteran-owned moped company that was founded in early 2020. They build their electric mopeds locally, starting from the ground up with their own frame design.They recently moved into a larger 5,000-square-foot production facility and have been rapidly expanding production after news of their boutique operations spread like wildfire last year.

The company highlights its customization process, which ensures that nearly no two bikes produced are the same. Depending on how you outfit the various models, prices range from around $3,500 to $6,000 or more. To make the bikes even more affordable, the team behind Huck was kind enough to offer a 3% discount to our readers with the code ELECTREK.
