What is an electric motorcycle?

An electric motorcycle is a type of electric vehicle that uses a battery to drive the motor. The electric drive and control system consists of a drive motor, a power supply, and a speed control device for the motor. The other devices of an electric motorcycle are basically the same as those of an internal combustion engine. The types are divided into electric light motorcycles and electric ordinary motorcycles according to the maximum speed or motor power.

The components of an electric motorcycle include: an electric drive and control system, mechanical systems such as a driving force transmission, and working devices to complete a given task. The electric drive and control system is the core of an electric vehicle and is also the biggest difference from an internal combustion engine-driven vehicle.

Electric two-wheeled light motorcycles and electric two-wheeled ordinary motorcycles are both motor vehicles. They must obtain a motor vehicle driver's license with the corresponding driving qualifications, and register a motorcycle license and pay compulsory traffic insurance before they can be on the road.
