The 2021 Kymco
RevoNEX was unveiled to the public at EICMA 2019. A naked sports electric
motorcycle (e-bike), the RevoNEX was designed with an eye to a riding
experience mimicking normal motorcycles.
Ordinarily e-bikes will have one speed or an
automatic transmission like a scooter but the RevoNEX does things differently
with a six-speed gearbox and hand clutch, just like a standard motorcycle.
Kymco says this gives the rider the sensation of riding a motorcycle but with
the ease of starting of without the clutch if desired, somewhat like the clutch
from Rekluse.
Also included are four riding modes – Poised for
quiet operation in residential areas, Assertive for city street riding, Bold
for more spirited runs and Extreme for track use. The selected ride mode is
display on the TFT-LCD screen, which is also usede to display navigation
information.
The RevoNEX will be out in the market in 2021 and
the full technical specifications of this e-bike have yet to be divulged. What
is known is it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds while to zero
to 205 km/h top speed is done in 11.8 seconds. Motive power comes what is
called an Active Acoustic Motor which provides an audible noise while running
if required to alert pedestrians.
Other equipment that can be seen on the RevoNEX are
adjustable suspension and twin front disc brakes. Brembo does the braking front
and rear and riding aids include ABS, traction control and a quickshifter.
