E-Bikes That Look Like Motorcycles: Top 7

The Super73 R-Series offers a combination of super-cool motorcycle looks and a street-legal electric bike riding experience.

It has adjustable full suspension and four ride modes so you can customise your ride to your terrain. All of the Super73 models come street-legal per European regulations, so they don’t require a driver’s licence or registration, but this does mean that the speed is limited to 25 km/h with a continuous rated power of 250-watt motor.

The four ride modes incorporate a ‘default mode’ which is street legal for all European countries as well as modes which allow pedal-assist at higher speeds which are strictly for use on private land.

A stylish low-rise handlebar adds to the motorbike look, as do the GRZLY tyres which are made through a blend of motorcycle and bicycle tyre methods. These tyres’ proprietary SUPER73 tread pattern improves traction, reduces road noise and increases stability both on-road and off-road.

The bike is designed to be fully customisable when it comes to accessories and apparel, so you can carry cargo your way with ease.

Plus, the battery is removable so you can recharge it wherever you like, and the RX model has an estimated 64-120+km of range depending on the pedal assist mode.

With top speeds of up to 32mph in off-road mode, the C3STROM Astro is a motorcycle-style e-bike that really packs a punch.

Its 4-piston hydraulic brakes are reliable whether you’re riding on-road or off-road, and the Lux headlight system means you can ride whenever, wherever.

The puncture resistant tyres are thick and sturdy, and the half-twist throttle gives you the motorcycle experience while still having all the fun of pedal power.

With a max range of 50 miles on a single charge thanks to the large 780WH lithium-ion battery, you can trust this bike to take you on an adventure — and you can get a full charge in 4-5 hours, so you’re ready to go again in no time.

The extra-long silicone-filled saddle reduces vibration for a smooth ride, so despite the hefty 750W motor, you’ll be as comfortable as can be.

Plus, you can switch between the multi-class ride modes with ease, so whether you’re going on an off-road adventure or trying to get from A to B on tarmac, you can legally ride without a licence, insurance or registration by selecting the appropriate speed limiter.

If you’re looking for a motorcycle-style electric bike, the Engwe M20 offers the best value for money by a mile.

Engwe are a great place to find affordable e-bikes and the M20 is one such example.

This fat-tire e-bike has built-in lights, throttle and splashguards. It’s nippy too and quickly reaches its top speed.  The battery can easily be removed for charging indoors.

As e-bikes that look like motorbikes go, this really is a beauty.

A sleek black frame is complemented by tan leather grips and saddle, and its large wheels and frame size make it an imposing but beautiful vehicle.

Plus, the Texolabs La Panthère E-Bike combines pedal power with a fierce throttle for a fun combination of e-bike and electric motorbike.

The 250W motor will get you up to speeds of 15.5mph with the speed limiter in place, making it road legal. A throttle is included but not installed, so you can add it for off-road use if you choose.

With a range of around 40km on a single charge, you can go a decent distance without worrying about your battery, and you can increase the battery power at an extra charge when purchasing the e-bike. It also charges in 4-6 hours, so you won’t have to wait long for your next ride.

The Michael Blast Springer is a really unique looking e-bike, designed in the boardtracker style with none of the noise or hassle of a vintage bike.

With a top speed of 22mph it’s great for cruising, and an 80km range means you can go on some fantastic long rides. The e-bike combines a Shimano Altus 7-speed and a 5-speed motor assist drivetrain, and the 5-speed backlit LED display gives you full control over your ride.

It feels like a motorcycle thanks to its size and weight, but can still comfortably be taken on paved roads and trails. The 500W motor makes tackling hills a breeze, but even at high speeds on flat terrain it’s solid and stable thanks to its aluminium frame and hydraulic brakes.

With three frame colours to choose from — black, red or blue — you can choose the look that suits you best, but whatever you choose, you’re sure to attract attention with this quirky but fantastic-looking bike.

Okay, the Serial-1 e-bikes don’t particularly look like motorbikes. However, because they are made by the one and only Harley-Davidson, we’d really be remiss to mention them in this motorcycle-themed e-bike article.

The Serial-1 range consists of four bikes: the MOSH/TRIBUTE, RUSH/CTY, RUSH/CTY STEP THRU, and the MOSH/CTY. They start at €3999 for the entry-level model, MOSH/CTY, and go up to €6300 for the top-of-the-range MOSH/TRIBUTE, which might seem very expensive, but they’re designed to be a lifelong investment.

Each bike offers something different, and we go fully into the details here. All four of the bikes are packing a Brose S Mag motor, a max assistance speed of 25 km/h, and 90Nm of torque.

The two MOSH bikes have a single-speed, freewheel drivetrain, while the two RUSH bikes have the Enviolo AUTOMATiQ CVT drivetrain. The battery sizes vary too, but the series has a really impressive range of up to 170km depending on model and usage.

To top it off, they’re beautiful looking e-bikes — but what else would you expect from Harley-Davidson?
