One bike in particular stands out in the sea of high-speed electric sportbikes proliferating in the market today. The DM-016 E-Fighter is a retro-styled, fully electric streetfighter by online-exclusive American manufacturer, Droog Moto. Producing an instantaneous 46 horsepower and 78 foot-pounds of torque, its performance figures are close to those of popular gas-powered supermotos by Husqvarna and KTM. As far as battery options are concerned, the DM-016 E-Fighter comes with either an interchangeable 3.6 modular setup or a single 7.2 battery. Regardless of battery option, the bike comes standard with Zero’s 550 Amp high-efficiency controller with regenerative braking.
The DM-016 E-Fighter is dressed in black and gives off an aura with a sense of mystery. Complete LED lighting ensures optimum visibility at night, and a blue backlit LCD dash displays information clearly. Its bodywork boasts handcrafted parts made out of aluminum and steel and is built to give off a retro, yet modern look and feel. It sports an otherworldly fascia with asymmetrical lines that look like gashes from the claw of a wild animal as headlights. Droog Moto also offers customers a choice of either cast-aluminum wheels, or their new tubeless custom spoke setup. Both options come with rugged tires capable of handling almost any terrain. To further aid the bike’s go-anywhere ability, long-travel inverted forks adorn the front end, while a preload-adjustable monoshock is hidden behind the rearward bodywork.
