So you feel like going electric, but can't afford to spend ten grand or more on a big motorcycle, yet you'd avoid the classic and ubiquitous scooter design if you could. How about an electric vehicle with custom chopper looks, steampunk attitude and able to turn heads like no other? Sounds good? Here's the B4 E-Cruizer, a Dutch project we'd really love to see making it to as many neighborhoods as possible.
Created by Janpeter Eilander in partnership with Jos Lenssen, an electronics engineer who developed the motor, the B4 E-Cruizer is a nifty combination between a bicycle, electric scooter and a motorcycle, borrowing the best form each world and bringing them together into a stunning package.
So if you already have an old Indian in your garage and are not that willing to be seen riding a modern electric Kymco, hop on the B4 E-Cruizer and you'll surely be admired. There are no detailed specs on this amazing old-school-styled EV, save for the fact that it can be loaded with 1 or two batteries. And looking at the 2-battery V-twin pack, it's easy to figure out what we'd choose.
Finally, seeing the 2 Ductch riding with no helmets makes us believe the B4 E-Cruizer does a max of 25 km/h (15.5 mph), the maximal speed for legal unhelmeted riding in the Netherlands.
