How much power does an ebike need to have in order to switch from the ‘bicycle’ class to the ‘motorbike’ class? The latest advancements in the field of personal electric transportation blurred the lines between the classess of two-wheelers, as nowadays vehicles that look like regular bicycles can generate enough power to perform on par with some entry-level motorcycles and dirt bikes.
Many countries have already started using strict classifications for e-bicycles and this form of pedal-assisted transport usually generates up to 500 Watts and can either have an electrified pedal assist or throttle power. Every model that has an output greater than 500 Watts is usually classified as a motorcycle and is reserved for use in offroad conditions and private dirt trails.
What if we tell you that there is an emerging class of overpowered motorbikes that could serve a dual purpose? When you need to commute in the city and take regular bike lanes, you can limit the power output or just use electric power assist; but if you would like to use up to 12 kilowatts of power and travel at speeds up to 50 miles per hour, then just unlock the power limiter and enjoy these thrilling machines.
Besides being incredibly fast, these bikes are equipped on par with some enduro motorcycles – they have advanced suspension systems and smart electronics that will keep motor and battery temperatures in check, so you can enjoy long range riding and zippy acceleration capabilities.

In this video we talked about some of the most exciting two-wheelers that haven’t been extensively covered by us previously. We tried to share as much information and technical details (pricing, top speed, available customizations, upgrade options for brakes, shocks, battery packs, etc.) about these inventions as possible.
