⚡ Electric motorcycles produce zero tailpipe emissions. Grid CO₂ depends on your local energy mix — renewable charging = near-zero total emissions.
Range Maximization Tips
-
Manage battery temperature: Cold batteries lose 20–30% range. Pre-condition the battery in cold weather before riding.
-
Use smooth throttle inputs: Aggressive acceleration is the biggest range killer. Smooth, progressive throttle use maximizes range.
-
Use regenerative braking: Set regen braking to maximum and plan stops early to recover energy instead of wasting it as heat.
-
Highway speed kills range: Range drops rapidly above 60 mph due to wind drag. Riding at 55 mph vs 75 mph can gain 25–35% more range.
-
Reduce aerodynamic drag: Tucking behind the screen and removing unnecessary luggage improves highway range significantly.
-
Charge to 80% for daily use: Regularly charging to 100% degrades lithium batteries over time. Keep daily charging to 80% and charge to 100% only for long trips.
-
Plan your route: Using navigation to avoid hills, plan charging stops, and choose roads with lower speed limits maximizes range confidence.
-
Avoid extreme heat storage: Never store an electric motorcycle in a hot garage — battery degradation accelerates above 95°F. Seek shade or a cool space.
