China’s Horwin is coming to America and aiming to make a splash at CES. As part of this effort, they’ll be showcasing a trio of electric motorcycles. The first is the US$ 16,800 Senmenti 0, which is billed as a sporty and versatile urban adventure bike. Horwin didn’t go into many specifics, but the model features angular lines and distinctive lighting units.
The bike measures 2,144 mm long and has a seat height of 792 mm. The model also comes with
an AI-powered advanced riding assistance system, which is “designed to increase
personalization as the system collects data to understand the rider, preventing
accidents and enhancing rider protection and confidence.” Speaking of safety,
the bike has adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and front / rear
collision warning systems. Other highlights include automatic high beams, a
360-degree vision system, hill descent control, and lane detection technology.
The company also mentioned uphill assistance and a Sentry mode.
The 230 kg bike is powered by a
16.9 kWh battery, which provides 299 km of range. It feeds an
electric motor developing 99 hp and 894 Nm of
torque. This setup enables the bike to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in
2.8 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 201 km/h. The company also
said it can go from a 0-80% charge in as little as 30 minutes with a DC fast
charger. The bike is currently available for pre-order and U.S. deliveries are
slated to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
The model will be followed by the Senmenti
X in 2025, which is being previewed by a similarly named concept. It’s a “Hyper
GT” that is designed to be the “ultimate performance touring motorcycle.”
Looking like something from a Tron film, the concept has illuminated wheels and
a futuristic fairing. The company didn’t say much about the bike, but we can
see X-shaped lighting units, a simulated engine, and a sizable seat. The bike
is equipped with a 25.9 kWh battery pack, which provides an estimated range of 402 km in the WLTP cycle. The concept also sports a 99 hp motor, which enables the bike to hit 96 km/h in less than four
seconds.
Last but not least, the Senmenti 11 is slated
to arrive in 2026. It’s being previewed by a minimalist concept that features
vertical lighting units as well as split rear wheels. The bike also has
“variable body covers in different styles,” which you can presumably swap out.
