A Dutch start-up called NXT Motors has just unveiled their new electric motorcycle recently at the MotorBeurs Utrecht Show. Known as a premium electric motorcycle, the NXT Rage comes with a carbon fibre monocoque fitted for its luxury price. The brand, known for its 100% electric motorcycles, has worked with prototypes in the past and has plans for the NXT Rage and NXT Raw. The NXT Rage was rolled out this weekend and is a naked bike that is twice as strong and 25% lighter than similar class bikes. “The specifications are promising but are not released today. These will be confirmed and certified in the spring of 2019, after which the reservations can be made final and can go into production,” said the company.   The Öhlins suspension is likely to provide the bike high performance handling and ride quality, though also likely contributes to that high price. It also features a large 7″ color display that leaves the rest of the handlebars looking clean and open. The bars are mounted low enough to give a sporty ride position while high enough to remain comfortable for longer street riding and commuting. “Electric motors offer the opportunity to throw traditional designs overboard, and to go for what is truly groundbreaking. NXT Motors wants to offer its customers a motorcycle that uses the maximum of technical possibilities and offers them the ultimate experience. A powerful product, but also the data that an electric motorcycle develops, is the basis for that customer experience. In the pipeline of NXT Motors, alongside the Naked Bikes launched today, there are also extensions to other segments, including enduro, super sports and touring models,” stated Harm Besseling, Director and Head of Technical Development at NXT Motors.
