I\u2019m a huge proponent of electric motorcycles, which offer all the thrill of gas bikes yet without the emissions, maintenance, or generally associated ownership headaches. The only problem is that they\u2019re traditionally much more expensive than gas bikes. Or at least they were, until the Kollter ES1 rolled into North America.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t<\/p>\n As much as I love riding flagship Zeros and electric Harleys<\/a>, those are expensive bikes at around $20,000 or more (though to be fair, Zero has other models<\/a> at closer to $11K-12K). <\/p>\n On the other end of the spectrum, I had a blast riding the sub-$3,000 CSC City Slicker.<\/a> But as its name implies, it\u2019s limited to the city. The 45 mph top speed makes quick work of urban jungles but is wholly inadequate for highway use.<\/p>\n But with 70+ mph speeds, the Kollter ES1 can hang out on the highway, though it may be limited to the right lane depending on the scenario.<\/p>\n And with a starting price of around $6,000 in the US, it is fairly priced between the fancy high-end electric motorcycles an<\/a>d the cheaper urban-only options.<\/a><\/p>\n Check out my video review of the Kollter ES1 Pro below, then read on for my complete thoughts!<\/p>\nKollter ES1 electric motorcycle video review<\/h2>\n
