If you believe that the motorcycle trade works in cycles, then electric bikes should be due a comeback in 2024 after suffering a torrid year in 2023. And the top selling brand in the battery-powered sector, Vmoto, is launching a new bike it hopes will help things along. The Stash is, according to the firm, a more middleweight machine, which “bridges the massive gap between low-cost, low-powered electric scooters and bikes and the high-performance big budget electric ‘two-wheel Teslas’”.
The Stash is a 125cc-class 11kW nominal output machine that’s A1 licence-friendly, but offers the maximum performance available in that sector thanks to a 15kW boost mode available for short periods. It weighs 143kg, has an impressive claimed range of 93.2 miles (150km) on a single charge, a compact wheelbase of 1373mm, and a comfortable seat height of 830mm.
Vmoto UK CEO Clive Mann said: “We couldn’t be more excited about the Stash. This initiates a new era for Vmoto, bridging the gap between electric and ICE and providing not just high-quality, but great-value, learner-legal vehicles. This year will see a huge push for us as a brand in the UK and worldwide, and this is just the beginning.”
The Vmoto Stash is priced at £6299 + OTR for launch only, and is available in black or blue colourways.
