North America’s most affordable 70+ mph electric motorcycle is already here and no one noticed

As someone who rides, reviews, and covers news on electric motorcycles, I hear the same thing all the time: “I’d love an electric motorcycle, but they’re all so expensive. Maybe when prices come down.”

And I get it. Electric motorcycles really are expensive. Zero’s flagship electric motorcycles cost $20,000. LiveWires are a couple thousand more. And Energicas are a couple thousand more than that. But somehow a little-known, highway-capable electric motorcycle popped up in North America for just US $5,990, and it seems like no one noticed. I’m talking about the Kollter ES1 electric motorcycle.

We’ve been discussing a potential impending influx of affordable electric motorcycles from Asia for several years now. However, the COVID-19 pandemic created a significant delay in the rollout of several of those anticipated Asian models.
