The Ryvid Anthem electric motorcycle has been unveiled in the United States. The bike is manufactured by Ryvid, a fast-rising startup with a solid technical manpower base. The electric bike sports a radical design and will sell at a hugely affordable price that’s bound to draw hordes of customers.
The Anthem is a light electric motorcycle
that is a culmination of the rich vein of expertise embedded in Ryvid’s
research team. The company’s CEO Dong Tran has experience designing products
for automakers and recently aircraft. He is a lifelong motorcyclist and has
combined this with his experience in the design of the Anthem. The bike has a
top speed of 120 km/h and a range of 120 km.
The Ryvid Anthem is priced at US$ 7,800 which
puts it on the lower end of the price spectrum. It jettisons the tubular frame
for a lightweight folded aluminum+ stainless steel sheets design. The bike is
easily assembled and the entire chassis weighs 5.4kg. The design also
incorporates several functionalities into the bike. You can easily raise and
lower the seat by up to 4 inches to create a balance for all classes of riders.
The actuator for the seat is sturdy enough to lift a greater load and can be
adjusted while in motion. Keyless ignition, LED lighting, a 4.9-inch TFT
display, and dual USB ports are also available on the electric motorcycle. The
unique frame design of the Anthem also meant that adjustments have to be made
in several areas. Multiple mounting points have been included for the
suspension and head tube. This approach makes the Anthem easily repairable,
allowing easy swapping and upgrades. There are speed options including Eco and
Sports to suit the rider’s environment.Ryvid Anthem electric bike
