There are so many startups out there doing business in the electric motorcycles industry that soon we will need a database of sorts to keep track of them all.
Over the past two years or so, a multitude of electric motorcycles were unveiled across the globe, many built by companies most customers never knew existed. What’s worse is that most of these bikes have not come into being since their announcement, showing all this business is a very risky one.
As of this week, the hot electric bike of the moment is the Tarform, built by the company bearing the same name and designed by New York-based entrepreneur Taras Kravtchouk.
The official website of the company is not functional at the time of this writing, but some photos and bits of info were made public via various sources, including Electrek.
Therefore, we know that the motorcycle is a "classic form for the future," as the designer said, built partially with 3D-printed bits and pieces. But you can't see them, as the entire thing seems to be one single solid block mounted on two wheels.
“We looked to revive the classic form, and unite it with modern day technology to create a new riding experience,” Kravtchouk said according to Electrek
“An electric vehicle that embodies the spirit of craftsmanship, advanced manufacturing, and clean technology.”
According to the source, the battery pack that will power the bike will give it a range of around 90 miles (145 km), with a charging time of under four hours.
Word is Tarform is already accepting pre-orders for the bike – although, again, at the time we are writing this, their website seems to be down - whose production is expected to begin sometime next year.
Pricing for the model is set at around $18,000. A Collector’s limited edition will also be launched, and it might retail for even more.
