Test riding 

The exhibited motorcycles are exclusively powered by T&D’s complete powertrains, seamlessly integrating motor, battery, controller, HMI, and charger, for optimal performance. Both were made available at alternate times on the Electric Test Ride Zone for the show’s visitors to try out for themselves, with an overwhelmingly positive reception. Riders enjoyed the “fun, nippy feel” and sizeable torque, while one seasoned motorbiker stated, “I’ve always liked the way a motorcycle sounds, but the acceleration of an electric bike is surprising.”
