Here Comes the Electric Motorcycle Future

If you thought the future was going to be full of gasoline engines, you were wrong.

A news roundup of electric motorcycles.

The latest news roundup over at webBikeWorld.com shows all the latest electric motorcycle news.

I write for that website, so I thought I’d share the latest roundup from over there. Here’s a look at how electric motorcycles are quickly progressing in the industry.

Make no mistake about it. Electric motorcycles are the future, and if you’re looking for the next big thing, electric motorcycles are certainly going to be it. The only thing is that there aren’t a ton of them out there right now. More and more of them are coming out every year, but there’s still a long list of manufacturers who haven’t come out with their own electric motorcycles yet.

It will be really great when Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha enter the electric motorcycle space. Until then, these machines will likely continue to be a bit of a nice item.

There are some new players in the space, though. Damon motorcycles comes to mind, Harley’s new LiveWire brand is out there, and Zero continues to soldier on with its nice lineup. Zero has the jump on everyone, but that gap is certainly shrinking each and every year. It will be interesting to see what happens.
