Onyx doesn’t offer all the details when it comes to the specs of its new electric motorbike, but we’ll tell you what we know so far.Īccording to its manufacturer, the CTY2 can climb 45-degree hills and can handle roughly any terrain, being equipped with heavy-duty suspension. Compared to its older brother, the CTY2 comes with a lower center of gravity for better control while riding. The new version of the electric moped is called CTY2, and it keeps that same cool, retro look and step-through design, with the tubular frame, large seat, and even larger battery. Nevertheless, it was an attractive two-wheeler that could reach 30 mph (48 kph) and delivered 160 Nm of torque. It does not store any personal data.If you are familiar with the Californian company, you probably recognize it for its more popular, more powerful RCR model, as the CTY moped hasn’t enjoyed that same success.

The former is, obviously, the one with a wilder specs while the latter is on the tamer side. Two models are available on its quite-overwhelmingly-funded Indiegogo campaign: a sporty, cafe racer-like RCR and a city-friendly CTY. It looks freaking damn cool! Aesthetic asides, ONXY Motorbikes Electric Moped offers up to a top speed of 60 mph (96 km/h) and a range of up to 75 miles (120 km).

ONYX Motorbikes Electric Moped oozes with 70s cafe racer vibes and the look itself should win hearts all over.

I think more importantly is, it is purpose-built as a moped from the ground up and not simply sticking a motor to a bicycle. ONYX Motorbikes said its mopeds have the highest torque direct drive motors that promised to deliver 2-stroke-like power band across all throttle range. ONYX Motorbikes, the San Francisco-based company has a lot to shout about the drivetrain it has slapped onto its mopeds. Moped is probably not huge in the stateside, but across the pond and in Europe, it is quite a huge deal, or at least it was anyways.Īnywho, if moped has never catch on with you, then we thought this “true 1970’s inspired vintage moped” with fully electric high-torque drivetrain called ONYX Electric Moped might.
ONYX ELECTRIC MOPED LICENSE
Call it a motorcycle-wannabe or whatever, but it does have its appeal (mostly because it looks like a motorcycle but does not require a license to ride). But there is a major difference between an electric bicycle and a moped: a moped usually looks like a motorcycle. It is always there, but today, we simply called it electric bicycles, or pedal-assist electric bicycle.

So, you think moped is dead? Well, it is not and it never did ‘die’.
