Are electric bikes slower than petrol bikes?
Not at all. Contemporary electric motorcycles such as the Oben Rorr EZ and Rorr EZ Sigma have a top speed of 95 km/h, which is equivalent to most 125cc - 150cc petrol motorbikes that are widely used in urban areas. Actually, electric bikes provide instant torque, i.e., they accelerate faster—e.g., the Rorr EZ Sigma reaches from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. So as far as speed and acceleration go, Oben Electric bikes are on par with petrol bikes, with the added advantage of cheaper running costs and no emissions.
