At the moment, not too many companies can deliver a Street-legal dual-sport motorcycle at entry-level prices. So when Solar Scooter, a UK-based company, asked us to review their 60 mph fully street-legal electric motorcycle, I had to see what this bike was about. As for what class of bike the Eclipse 2.0
Introduction of the Audi AI traffic jam pilot requires both clarity regarding the legal parameters for each country and specific adaptation and testing of the system. For these reasons, Audi will initiate series production of the traffic jam pilot in the new A8 incrementally, depending on the legal situation in the respective country.

So instead of driving on grippy asphalt on a beautiful Sunday,” he says, “you’re driving on a surface whose traction approximates asphalt after anything from a light rain to snow and ice.” The electric bike’s power output is comparable to that of Ducati’s Panigale V2 , a gasoline-powered, street-legal sport bike that weighs in at 200 kg.
Its digital interior architecture opens up a new dimension of intuitive operation, assisted driving is possible up to 210 km/h (130 mph) and it is the first Volkswagen to use traffic’s collective intelligence with Car2X to warn of hazards predictively.

A new law that came into effect this week has now further clarified which electric bicycles are street-legal and which fall afoul of regulations. The three points are used to exclude vehicles from the legal definition of an electric bicycle in California. 3)A vehicle that is modified to have its operable pedals removed.
Technically, SUPER73s were always intended to be perfectly street-legal electric bikes, and they always shipped in what was known as Class 2 Mode. That meant the bikes could top out at 20 mph (32 km/h) and largely met most electric bicycle regulations around the US for the last few years. Is there a workaround? Just kidding.
EV mode, or all-electric battery charge depleting mode, can handle speeds up to approximately 75 mph (121 km/h). The Sonata PHEV is perfectly capable of handling (legal) Interstate speeds on battery pack alone; however, such operation depletes the battery relatively quickly. Maximum EV speed (mph). Click to enlarge. Drive modes.
In fact, the bike can reach speeds of up to 33 mph on throttle operation, no pedaling needed, meaning it truly is well outside of the 3-class electric bicycle system. Theres some weird flutter that I would get in the rear end at around 31-33 mph. This is more of an e-moped in the truest sense. How does it ride?
They claim a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h), but I blasted past that into the low 30s multiple times on flat ground, so there’s something fishy here. Maybe they just underrate for legal reasons like a late 60s GTO, I’m not sure. The LED lighting with turn signals? Next, the range is quite good. The 8-speed SunRace derailleur?
The e-bike industry has stalled a little bit in terms of features, and with harsh new legislation coming in from places like California, maybe it is time to start looking at e-bikes that are light, efficient, and smooth rather than how much wattage they can output. It is such a light bike that stopping can be jarring.
But the fact that it can easily surpass 28 mph (45 km/h), often hitting speeds in the 32 to 34 mph (51-54 km/h) range depending on battery level and terrain, means that it’s also too fast for legal e-bike regulations. It’s not going to fit nicely into Class 1, 2, or 3 designations.

To be frank, those are figures we normally see from bargain basement, fly-by-night companies – not industry leaders like NIU, which produces everything from electric bicycles to fully-fledged highway-legal electric motorcycles and e-dirt bikes. mph), and maximum ranges on a charge of 29 km (18 miles).

Lucid set-up a mini drag strip, where after some expert instruction on how to use the launch control, we did 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and hit 88 mph before lifting. The rear has an LED light strip running fender-to-fender and a demure, stylized Air Touring badge on the truck lid. Don’t blink.
Of course, given that you’re in a safe area where it’s legal to get some speed going. Fortunately in this case Ausom created a powerful 2*1000w motor scooter that’s both fast and feels stable enough to make you want to go faster than 41 mph. There’s also a headlight and rear light for further visibility.
