A new pedal-operated electric motorcycle has been launched which promises “gigantic acceleration, 100% riding fun and zero emissions”.
The eROCKIT 2019 Series is said to have an innovative clutch-free direct drive combined with of intelligent and intuitive pedal control.
The rider pedals as on a normal bike and, depending on the riding behaviour, his muscle power is multiplied by more than 50 times.
With a top speed of over 80 km/h, a battery range of more than 120 kms and a charging time at a normal household plug socket of just four hours, the eROCKIT is “the ideal vehicle for commuters, business and leisure”, according to MD Andreas Zurwehme.
Speaking at the launch in Berlin, Zurwehme said: “We have set ourselves the goal of making our world a better place to live! The eROCKIT has the power to change: It shows that sustainability means enrichment and not sacrifice.”
The eROCKIT is developed and produced in Hennigsdorf in Brandenburg, near Berlin. The 2019 Series models can be ordered for EUR 11,850 at www.erockit.de.
