Eunorau R1
Eunorau × Rerode R1 — 4,000W Mid-Drive, 330 Nm, 85 km/h, 2,520 Wh of LG Battery
The R1 is not an eBike pretending to be a dirt bike. It is an electric dirt bike, sold with footpegs and twist throttle, designed for off-road and private-property use where the rules for motorcycles — not bicycles — apply. A 72V 4,000W Permanent Magnet Synchronous mid-drive motor with 8,000W of peak power and 330 Nm of torque climbs 50° grades and pulls 85 km/h on flat ground. A 72V 35Ah LG cell battery (2,520 Wh, removable, 4-hour fast charge) puts more stored energy into the chassis than most eBike platforms can hold without a dual-battery rack. FASTACE 203mm-travel front fork and an 85mm rear shock handle the impacts a 19-inch off-road tire transmits at trail speed.
The bike is the Eunorau × Rerode collaboration — the same machine sold under either brand depending on the region. Distribution in Canada is through Eunorau’s dealer network, including Zeus eBikes Canada. 4-piston hydraulic brakes with 203mm rotors front and rear, 6061 aluminium alloy frame, IP65 water resistance, LED headlight + brake light + electronic horn, USB-C charging port, single-speed 420 chain. Three colours: Silver, Black, Maple. 130 lbs / 59 kg. Recommended rider height 5'2"–6'4".

⚠️ This is NOT a Standard-class Canadian eBike. The R1's 85 km/h top speed and 4,000W (8,000W peak) motor exceed the federal Standard-class power-assisted bicycle limit (500W, 32 km/h). The R1 is built and sold for off-road and private-property use. Some provinces have Limited-Speed Motorcycle or Motor-Assisted Cycle pathways that may apply with licensing, registration, insurance, and equipment compliance — rules vary significantly by province and most LSM frameworks cap below the R1's stock top speed. Verify provincial regulations before riding on any public road. See FAQ below for province-specific notes and the Canadian eBike Laws guide →
Quick Answer
The Eunorau × Rerode R1 is a 72V 4,000W mid-drive electric dirt bike (8,000W peak, 330 Nm torque, 85 km/h top speed) with a 72V 35Ah LG battery (2,520 Wh, 4-hour fast charge), FASTACE 203mm fork, 4-piston hydraulic 203mm brakes front and rear, IP65 water resistance, and 19-inch off-road tires. It is not a Canadian Standard-class eBike — top speed exceeds the 32 km/h provincial eBike limit, and the bike ships with footpegs rather than pedals, making it off-road and private-property use only by default. Recommended rider height 5'2"–6'4". 130 lbs / 59 kg. Three colours: Silver, Black, Maple. 2-year limited warranty. Free Canada-wide shipping. The R1 is co-branded with Rerode — the same physical bike sold as Eunorau R1 or Rerode R1 depending on dealer.

Why the R1 Sits Between an eBike and a Dirt Bike
The Canadian dirt-riding market has two extremes. At one end, the high-power eBike — pedal-assist, single-rider, 750W–1,500W, 32–45 km/h, road-legal in many configurations, ~$3,000–$5,000. At the other end, the gas dirt bike — 250cc–450cc, 100+ km/h, requires registration and insurance for any on-road use, ~$8,000–$12,000 new. The R1 is neither. It is a purpose-built electric dirt bike that delivers gas-dirt-bike-class performance at the price of a flagship eBike, in an electric drivetrain that needs no oil, no gas, and no shop time between rides.
- 4,000W PMSM mid-drive with 8,000W peak and 330 Nm torque — The peak figure is the one that matters under load. 8,000W of headroom climbs hills, accelerates from a stop, and sustains 60–80 km/h on the trail. 330 Nm leverages the chain through the rear sprocket for mechanical advantage on technical climbs. Mid-drive layout puts the weight at the centre of mass — the engineering reason the bike feels balanced rather than tail-heavy under power.
- 72V 35Ah LG battery — 2,520 Wh, removable, 4-hour fast charge — LG is the second-largest premium lithium-ion supplier in the industry alongside Samsung. 2,520 Wh of stored energy is roughly 3–4 times what a typical 720 Wh single-battery eBike carries. The battery is removable for indoor charging or bench service. The 72V 10A super-fast charger refills empty to full in 4 hours — faster than most overnight chargers, slower than a gas-station fill, which is the honest comparison for an electric dirt bike.
- FASTACE 203mm-travel front fork + 85mm rear shock — FASTACE is a respected Asian suspension manufacturer used on mid-priced motocross and downhill mountain-bike platforms. 203mm of front travel is full motocross-class — absorbs the impacts that 19-inch off-road tires transmit at trail speed. The 85mm rear shock travel is shorter than the front by design (typical of a mid-suspension dirt bike layout); it delivers controlled compression for handling rather than the long travel of a full motocross machine.
- 4-piston hydraulic brakes, 203mm rotors front and rear — 4-piston hydraulic calipers are the brake hardware on premium downhill mountain bikes and entry-level motocross. 203mm rotors front and rear provide consistent stopping at trail speed and on long descents. The front-and-rear-equal-rotor layout is unusual — most dirt bikes have a larger front rotor — and reflects the R1’s mid-power positioning.
- 70/100-19 off-road tires — same size front and rear, on stainless-steel-spoke wheels — 19-inch wheels with 70/100 (roughly 2.75-inch wide) off-road tread. Stainless-steel spokes resist corrosion better than chrome-plated steel — relevant for any rider in salt-belt provinces or who washes the bike often. The same-size front and rear tire layout simplifies spare-tire stocking compared with a true motocross bike where front and rear sizes differ.
- 50° max climb angle — This is the spec that distinguishes the R1 from any eBike. 50° is steeper than most green or blue trail grades — sustained climbs on technical terrain that would require dismounting on a typical eBike. The 330 Nm torque + mid-drive gearing + low-RPM tractor characteristics of the PMSM motor are what enable the climb spec.
- IP65 water resistance — IP65 means the motor, controller, and battery housings are protected against water jets from any direction — including stream crossings, hard rain, and pressure-washing on conservative settings. IP65 does not mean submersion-rated; do not ride through deep water above the battery housing. For Canadian off-road conditions (wet trails, mud, salt-spray on transport), IP65 is the appropriate rating.
- Sports + Eco riding modes with regenerative braking — Eco caps power for trail learning and range extension. Sports unlocks full power and enables regenerative braking that returns small amounts of energy to the battery on coast-down. The Sport+ mode found on the R1+ is not on the R1 — that is one of the deltas between siblings.
- USB-C 5V/2.4A charging port + electronic horn + LED lighting — The bike runs full motorcycle-class lighting (headlight, brake light, horn) off the main 72V battery. The USB-C port charges a phone or GPS unit on the bike. None of this is decorative — on long trail rides where you may need GPS navigation or emergency communication, the auxiliary 12V/5V power is the difference between a useful day and a stranded one.
The R1 is the most accessible point of entry into electric dirt biking at adult performance levels. Riders looking for the flagship Eunorau platform should look at the R1+ — 5,000W LPMSM, 500 Nm, 95 km/h, 220mm front rotor. Riders looking for a road-legal Standard-class eBike should look at the GT73 Electric Motorbike → — 1,200W nominal / 2,400W peak, motorbike styling, dual battery, but lower performance and dependent on provincial high-power eBike rules.
Key Features
- 72V 4,000W Permanent Magnet Synchronous Mid-Drive Motor — 8,000W Peak / 330 Nm Torque — PMSM topology delivers consistent torque across a wide RPM range with high efficiency. Mid-drive layout puts mass at the centre and leverages the chain through the rear sprocket. 50° max climb angle. Mid-drive vs hub motor →
- 72V 35Ah LG Cell Removable Lithium-Ion Battery — 2,520 Wh — LG cells are premium-tier lithium-ion. 2,520 Wh of stored energy is large by eBike standards, modest by motorcycle standards — a single-day-of-trail-riding capacity. Removable for indoor charging or bench service. 72V 10A super-fast charger delivers full charge in 4 hours.
- Top Speed 85 km/h / 55 mph (Off-Road / Private Property) — Stock configuration. This top speed exceeds the Canadian Standard-class eBike limit (32 km/h) and most provincial Limited-Speed Motorcycle frameworks (typically 70 km/h). The R1 is intended for off-road and private-property use. See FAQ and the legal callout above for provincial nuance.
- Range Up to 120 km / 75 mi — Manufacturer rated at 25 km/h on flat terrain in Eco mode. Real-world: 60–80 km at 40–50 km/h trail-riding pace; 35–50 km at full Sport-mode riding. Range drops 25% at 0°C and 35–40% at −10°C on high-power 72V systems.
- FASTACE 203mm-Travel Front Fork — Full motocross-class travel from a respected Asian suspension manufacturer. Absorbs the impacts a 19-inch off-road tire transmits at trail speed. Adjustable preload (consult the owner’s manual for torque specs and adjustment ranges).
- 85mm Rear Shock Travel — Mid-suspension layout — shorter than the front fork by design. Delivers controlled compression for handling and corner stability rather than the long-travel plushness of a full motocross machine.
- 4-Piston Hydraulic Brakes, 203mm Rotors Front + Rear — 4-piston calipers are the brake hardware on premium downhill mountain bikes and entry-level motocross. Self-adjusting pads, fade-resistant in rain, consistent on long descents. 203mm rotors at both ends provide strong, controlled stopping at trail speed.
- 70/100-19 Off-Road Tires Front and Rear — 19-inch wheels with 70/100 width off-road tread — a versatile size that handles mixed off-road conditions (hardpack, loose dirt, light rocks, mud). Stainless-steel-spoke wheels resist corrosion in salt-belt provinces and after wet washes.
- 6061 Aluminium Alloy Frame — 6061 is the workhorse aluminium alloy across motorcycle and high-end bicycle frames — strong, weldable, and corrosion-resistant. No rust risk in Canadian winter storage. Lighter than steel for equivalent strength.
- Single-Speed 420 Chain Drive — Single-speed simplifies the drivetrain and matches the mid-drive motor’s wide power band. 420-pitch chain is industrial-grade dirt-bike spec — bicycle chains would not survive the torque. Forged alloy crank for impact resistance. 106 chain links total.
- Twist Throttle + Sports/Eco Modes + Regenerative Braking — Twist throttle on the right grip. Sports mode unlocks full power and enables regenerative braking on coast-down. Eco caps power for trail learning and extends range. There is no pedal-assist sensor — this is a throttle-only machine with footpegs, not pedals.
- LED Headlight + Brake Light + Electronic Horn — Full motorcycle-class lighting wired to the main battery. Adequate for legal off-road use and after-dark trail navigation. Headlight lumens not specified by manufacturer; field reports suggest the headlight is functional rather than high-end.
- USB-C 5V/2.4A Charging Port — Phone, GPS, action-camera charging on the bike. Useful for long backcountry rides where a phone GPS is the primary navigation tool.
- IP65 Water Resistance — Motor, controller, and battery housings rated against water jets from any direction. Stream crossings, hard rain, conservative pressure-washing all OK. Submersion is NOT covered — do not ride through water above the battery housing.
- Eunorau × Rerode Collaboration — The R1 is co-branded; the same physical bike is sold as Eunorau R1 or Rerode R1 depending on dealer and region. Reviews from either brand name apply. Eunorau handles Canadian distribution.
- Three Colours: Silver, Black, Maple — The Maple finish is unique to the Eunorau-branded R1 in the Canadian market.

What You Should Know Before Buying (Honest Take)
This is the section every dirt-bike product page should write and most do not.
- Legal status — read this twice. The R1 is NOT a Canadian Standard-class eBike. The 85 km/h top speed and 4,000W (8,000W peak) motor exceed both the federal eBike limits (32 km/h, 500W) and most provincial Limited-Speed Motorcycle thresholds (typically 70 km/h). Stock configuration is intended for off-road and private-property use only. Riding on public roads in stock configuration is, in most provinces, illegal. Some provinces may permit registration under a higher class (Limited-Speed Motorcycle, motorcycle, or off-road vehicle) with proper licensing, insurance, and equipment compliance — but the rules vary significantly. Verify with your provincial Ministry of Transportation before riding outside private property. Provincial eBike and motor-vehicle rules →
- Motorcycle gear is required, not optional. At 85 km/h on off-road tires, a fall is a motorcycle fall. Bicycle helmets, runners, and shorts are inadequate. Required: full-face DOT or ECE 22.06 motocross helmet with goggles. Strongly recommended: armoured motocross jersey + pants OR full body armour, motocross boots over the ankle, knee braces, gloves, chest protector. Plan to spend $500–$1,500 on gear before the first ride if you do not already own it.
- This is a throttle-only machine, not a pedal-assist eBike. The R1 ships with footpegs, not bicycle pedals. There is no pedal-assist sensor and no human-pedalling pathway. If you are looking for a pedal-and-throttle hybrid, the GT73 Electric Motorbike → ships with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain; the R1 does not.
- 4-hour charge time is fast for an eBike, slow for a motorcycle. 2,520 Wh refilling in 4 hours via the included 72V 10A charger is a reasonable trade-off. But it is not a 5-minute gas-pump fill. Plan rides around battery state. If you ride hard and run the battery flat away from a charger, you walk the bike home. There is no equivalent of a jerry can.
- Single-speed simplifies, but limits cadence control. Single-speed drivetrain matches the wide power band of the PMSM motor, but it removes the gear-down option for technical low-speed climbs. Riders coming from a multi-speed mountain bike or motocross gas bike will notice the absence of low-gear crawler ratios.
- FASTACE is not Showa, KYB, or WP. FASTACE is a competent mid-priced Asian suspension brand — suitable for the R1’s mid-power positioning. Riders coming from premium motocross suspension (Showa SFF-Air, KYB SSS, WP XPLOR) will notice less refinement in damping and rebound under aggressive riding. The R1+ uses a higher-spec fork with high-and-low-speed compression damping — a meaningful suspension upgrade.
- Same-size front and rear tires (70/100-19) are unusual. Most dirt bikes use a larger-diameter front and a wider rear. The R1’s same-size both-ends layout simplifies tire stocking but is not optimal for hardcore motocross use — the front does less to clear obstacles, the rear has less contact patch under acceleration. For trail riding and recreational off-road, the layout is fine.
- IP65 is rain-rated, not submersion-rated. Stream crossings up to the bottom of the battery housing are within scope. Submerged or partially submerged riding will void the warranty and may damage the controller permanently. Know where the IP65 line ends on your specific bike.
- 72V system is harder to service than 36V/48V. If anything goes wrong electrically, the R1’s 72V battery and controller are not field-serviceable by a typical bicycle mechanic. Authorized Eunorau service or a qualified electric-motorcycle technician is the appropriate path. Do not attempt DIY work on the 72V battery pack — it can deliver a fatal shock.
- Resale value is uncertain in the Canadian market. The Eunorau and Rerode brands are newer to Canada; resale liquidity does not match established gas dirt-bike brands (Honda, Yamaha, KTM). If resale matters to your purchase calculus, factor in a steeper depreciation curve than for an equivalent gas dirt bike.
None of these are dealbreakers if the R1 is the right machine for your use case. They are the trade-offs that come from delivering 4,000W mid-drive performance at this price point. Match the priorities to your terrain, your skill level, your provincial regulatory situation, and your tolerance for newer-brand support.
Will It Fit You? — Geometry & Sizing
The R1 is sold as a one-size frame for riders 5'2" to 6'4" (157–193 cm) per Eunorau’s official fit envelope. Detailed geometry beyond the packing dimensions is not published in the manufacturer spec sheet for the R1 — the bike is positioned as a dirt-bike-style platform where rider posture is dynamic (standing on the pegs as much as seated) rather than fitted to seat-tube length.
| Dimension | Measurement | What It Tells You |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended rider height | 5'2"–6'4" (157–193 cm) | Wide envelope; smaller riders should be comfortable with standover, taller riders comfortable with reach |
| Bike weight | 130 lbs / 59 kg | Heavier than most eBikes, lighter than gas dirt bikes (typically 220–270 lbs); manageable to lift onto a truck bed with a ramp but not without |
| Packing dimensions | 165 × 32.5 × 89 cm (65 × 13 × 35") | Single large crate — plan delivery clearance and assembly space accordingly |
| Tire size | 70/100-19 front + rear | 19-inch off-road; fits standard motocross tire racks |
| Front fork travel | 203 mm / 8" | Full motocross-class travel |
| Rear shock travel | 85 mm / 3.3" | Mid-suspension layout — shorter than the front by design |
| Frame material | 6061 aluminium alloy | No rust risk in Canadian winter storage |
Rider Fit Notes
- 5'2"–5'6": The R1’s seat height and footpeg position are at the lower end of the dirt-bike spectrum. Most shorter riders should be able to flat-foot at a stop with practice. Riders new to dirt bikes should test seat reach before committing.
- 5'7"–5'11": Sweet spot for the R1 ergonomics. Comfortable seated and standing posture for trail riding.
- 6'0"–6'4": Within the rated fit envelope. Taller riders may find the cockpit slightly compact for long-distance trail riding compared with a full-sized motocross gas bike, but the riding posture transitions naturally between seated and standing.
- Storage and transport: 130 lbs / 59 kg is liftable onto a truck bed with a ramp by one person; without a ramp it requires two people. The R1 fits in a standard pickup bed with the tailgate down or on a 2-bike motorcycle trailer.

Who Is the Eunorau R1 For?
- Trail riders with off-road or private-property access — Crown land OHV trails, private acreage, motocross tracks, off-road parks, or rural property with riding terrain. The R1 is built for these environments, not for paved roads or sidewalks.
- Riders trading down from a gas dirt bike — Lower noise, no oil changes, no winter fuel storage, no carburetor service, simpler maintenance, and electric throttle response. The trade-off is shorter range per fill and no equivalent of a 5-minute gas-station refuel.
- Adult riders entering the electric dirt-bike segment — The R1 is the more accessible Eunorau platform. Riders who specifically want the flagship 5,000W LPMSM, 500 Nm, and Sport+ mode should look at the R1+ instead.
- Riders comfortable with motorcycle-class gear and skill — 85 km/h on off-road tires demands motorcycle-class protective gear and motorcycle-class riding skill. The R1 is not a starter machine for someone who has never operated a motorized two-wheeler.
Who it’s NOT for:
- Riders looking for a road-legal commuter eBike — The R1 is not road-legal as a Standard-class eBike. The Velotric Discover 3 → or Himiway A7 Pro → are the right platforms for road commuting.
- Riders who want pedal-and-throttle hybrid — The R1 has footpegs, not pedals. The GT73 Electric Motorbike → ships with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain alongside a 1,200W nominal / 2,400W peak motor.
- Beginners with no motorcycle experience — 4,000W mid-drive on off-road tires is not a learner platform. Take a safety course or rent a smaller machine first.
- Riders without off-road or private-property access — Without legal terrain to ride on, the R1 is a garage ornament.
- Riders prioritising flagship suspension and 220mm front rotor — The R1+ is the flagship platform with high-and-low-speed compression damping and 220mm front rotor; the R1 is one tier down.
How It Compares
The closest cross-shops in the Zeus catalogue are the Eunorau R1+ (sibling, flagship) and the GT73 Electric Motorbike (Zeus-carried motorbike-style platform that is a Standard-class eBike with pedals and a 32–57 km/h speed envelope). The Eunorau S1 Dirt Bike is included for households considering both an adult and a kids' machine.

Choose the Eunorau R1 if you want the more accessible adult Eunorau dirt-bike platform — 4,000W mid-drive, 330 Nm, 85 km/h, full motocross-class fork, 4-pot brakes, 2-year warranty, and three colour options. The right entry point into electric dirt biking at adult performance levels.
Choose the Eunorau R1+ → if you want the flagship: 5,000W LPMSM, 500 Nm, 95 km/h, high-and-low-speed compression damping fork, 220mm front rotor, Sport+ mode, Samsung battery cells. The premium platform.
Choose the GT73 Electric Motorbike → if you want a motorbike-style platform that is a Canadian Standard-class eBike with pedals (Shimano 7-speed) and a road-legal-where-applicable speed envelope. Trade-off: significantly less power, no off-road suspension hardware, hub motor instead of mid-drive.
Choose the Eunorau S1 Dirt Bike → for a young rider 4'9"–5'10" — the kids-class platform in the same Eunorau family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Eunorau R1 legal on Canadian roads as an eBike?
No — not as a Canadian Standard-class eBike. The R1’s 85 km/h top speed and 4,000W (8,000W peak) motor exceed the federal Standard-class power-assisted bicycle limits (500W and 32 km/h). The R1 is built and sold as an off-road / private-property machine. Some provinces have a Limited-Speed Motorcycle (LSM) or Motor-Assisted Cycle (MAC) framework that may apply with proper licensing, registration, insurance, and equipment compliance — these vary significantly by province (BC, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec each have different rules; LSM frameworks typically cap at 70 km/h, which the R1 also exceeds in stock configuration). The most defensible legal use is on private property, on closed off-road trails where motorized eBikes are permitted, or after the appropriate provincial registration if your province permits a higher-speed-class for this type of vehicle. Verify with your provincial Ministry of Transportation before riding on public roads. Provincial eBike laws →
What is the difference between the Eunorau R1 and R1+?
Both are Eunorau × Rerode collaboration off-road dirt bikes. The R1 has a 4,000W PMSM mid-motor with 8,000W peak and 330 Nm torque; 72V 35Ah LG battery (2,520 Wh); 85 km/h top speed; 203mm rotors front and rear. The R1+ has a 5,000W LPMSM mid-motor with 17,000W peak and 500 Nm torque; 72V 40Ah Samsung battery (2,880 Wh); 95 km/h top speed; 220mm front and 203mm rear rotors with high-and-low-speed compression damping fork. R1 for the more accessible adult platform; R1+ for the flagship.
What is a PMSM mid-motor and why does the R1 use one?
PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) is a brushless motor topology that delivers consistent torque across a wide RPM range with high efficiency. On a mid-drive configuration like the R1, the motor sits at the bottom bracket and drives the chain through the existing gearing — the same architecture as a Bafang M620 or Bosch performance system, scaled up. Mid-drive layout puts the weight at the centre of mass for handling, leverages the chain for mechanical advantage on climbs (50° max climb on the R1), and protects the motor from impact better than a hub motor on rough terrain. The trade-off is more chain wear under high torque and more complex service compared with a hub motor.
What is the real-world range in Canadian conditions?
The rated 120 km is achieved at 25 km/h on flat terrain in Eco mode. Real-world: at 40–50 km/h trail-riding pace, expect 60–80 km. At full Sport-mode riding with frequent throttle, 35–50 km. Cold-weather range loss is significant on a high-power 72V system: at 0°C expect roughly 25% reduction; at −10°C, 35–40% reduction. The 2,520 Wh capacity is large by eBike standards — small by motorcycle standards. Treat the R1’s range as a single-day-of-trail-riding figure, not a long-distance touring figure.
Does the R1 have pedals or is it throttle-only?
The R1 ships with footpegs in dirt-bike configuration — not bicycle pedals. It is operated via twist throttle, with two riding modes (Sports + Eco) and regenerative braking on Sports mode. There is no pedal-assist sensor and no human-pedalling pathway. This is a clear mechanical and legal distinction from a Standard-class eBike, which by federal definition must have functional pedals capable of propelling the bike without motor assistance. Treat the R1 as an electric dirt bike, not as a pedal-assist eBike.
What protective gear should I wear on the R1?
At 85 km/h on off-road tires this is motorcycle-class equipment and demands motorcycle-class protection. Required: full-face DOT or ECE 22.06 motocross helmet with goggles. Strongly recommended: armoured motocross jersey + pants OR full motocross body armour, motocross boots over the ankle, motocross gloves, knee braces, chest protector. Do not ride in a bicycle helmet. Do not ride in shorts and runners. Falls at 50–80 km/h on hardpack or rocks cause injuries that bicycle gear cannot mitigate. Buy gear before the bike if you do not already own it.
Is the Eunorau R1 the same bike as the Rerode R1?
Yes — the R1 is a co-branded collaboration between Eunorau and Rerode. The same physical bike is marketed under both brand names depending on the dealer and region. Reviews from either brand name apply to the same machine. Eunorau handles distribution through its dealer network including Zeus eBikes Canada; Rerode markets the bike directly in some markets.
Are there reviews for the R1 on Zeus yet?
The R1 is a recent addition to our lineup. Independent published reviews already exist — long-term ride reviews on YouTube cover the bike at 1 year and 2,000 miles of use, including off-road performance, range testing, and component durability. The video walkthroughs are embedded above. If you want a Canadian opinion before you order, call us at 1-866-938-7580 or email milad@zeusebikes.ca. We will tell you honestly whether the R1 is the right machine for your terrain, your skill level, and your provincial regulatory situation, or whether the R1+ or the GT73 Electric Motorbike would suit you better.
