Realistically speaking, the future entails
the adoption of existing rules and regulations with regards to gasoline-powered
machines. Hence, it isn’t unlikely that countries with licensing restrictions
for motorcycle riders will start limiting the amount of go juice beginner
riders on electric motorcycles can start with.
Super Soco has an eye towards the
future with their newest bike, the TSx. The Super
Soco TSx has the equivalent power and top speed of a 50cc beginner motorcycle.
With a whopping top speed of 45 miles per hour, this little bike is definitely
not going to get you in any trouble even when you’re giving it the absolute
beans. This is something that parents of sixteen year olds looking to get into
motorcycling could rely on to help them sleep at night.
Nonetheless, the Super Soco has style
going for it, with a thoroughly modern naked sport bike aesthetic. It weighs a
measly 154 pounds and is powered by a Bosch 1900W electric motor. The motor has
two maps which allows it to limit top speed to 28 miles per hour on restricted
mode, and 45 miles per hour on unrestricted mode. It’s capable of going 40
miles on a single charge, but also has a storage compartment for a second
battery, boosting its total range to 80 miles. Each battery takes three and a
half hours to fully charge.
The Super Soco TSx comes in four colors:
black, gray, orange, and red. It retails for £ 2,999 or US$ 3,740.
