Italian brand Aprilia has just joined them with its idea of a future electric motorcycle called the &#8220;ELECTRICa,&#8221; which we will refer to as Electrica from here on out.<\/p>\n<p>In classic concept fashion, specifications are slim to none. But Aprilia noted that the Electrica is designed to be a highly approachable and fun motorcycle for people on a budget and who may be new to bikes. It&#8217;s apparently fairly small and is supposed to be lightweight. Being an <a class=\"injectedLinkmain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/electric+bike\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:4;\">electric bike<\/a>, it doesn&#8217;t have multiple gears to shift through, and that allows for having both front and rear <a class=\"injectedLinkmain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/brakes\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:5;\">brake<\/a> controls on the handlebars in an effort to make it easy to transition from a bicycle or scooter to this bike. The low seat and somewhat upright riding position should be fairly comfortable and easy to adjust to for new riders as well.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"grp-full\" src=\"https:\/\/o.aolcdn.com\/images\/dims3\/GLOB\/legacy_thumbnail\/1600x900\/format\/jpg\/quality\/85\/https:\/\/s.aolcdn.com\/os\/ab\/_cms\/2022\/11\/09160208\/04-ELECTRICa-Project-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Aprilia Electrica\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The design really pops with its teal accents. It&#8217;s a trim, angular bike. Aprilia also notes its triple headlight cluster like its other offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Aprilia has given no information as to when we might see a bike like the Electrica on sale. It looks pretty down-to-earth as far as concepts go, so we hope that a production variant could be close. Regardless, the electric motorcycle market should be getting pretty interesting in the next few years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><style><![CDATA[.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }]]><\/style>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n <lite-youtube videoid=\"jCJ0_Wes6O0\" data-thumbnail=\"\"\/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The car industry isn&#8217;t the only part of the transportation sector heading toward EVs.
