Electric motorcycles definitely sparks the interests of a lot of people. The idea of combining something that works under the hands of the riders and the ease of technology is slowly growing into them, but one of the reasons for the lack of demand is due to the price. Due to that, the root of this partnership is to create electric motorcycles that are affordable and reliable. Definitely a plus point.

Baranoff had started from scratch for his new café bike design. He borrowed elements from other existing bikes to put together two machines. The two bikes are dubbed the “Honda Model Electric Café Racer 1 and 2”. The bikes feature 7500W power mid drive motors that run on 72V Panasonic lithium-ion batteries. It can produce up to 60 mph of top seed and a range of 75 miles.

East Gem is currently taking orders for these machines. Both models will commence shipping in the start of 2018.
