Indian Motorcycle knows electric motorcycles will be the way of the future, and to get in on the action early, it’s worked with e-bike manufacturer Super73 on the eFTR Hooligan 1.2 electric bicycle.

As you might expect, this isn’t really much of a legit motorcycle. But the future of electric bikes (both motorcycles and e-bikes) is going to be one that’s merged together.

So what does this bike really offer? Let’s take a closer look.
