Tarform's electric motorcycles are works of art even when standing still, but are pure poetry in motion on the road.
Tarform’s electric motorcycles are works of art even when standing still, but are pure poetry in motion on the road. The company’s flagship model, the Luna, evokes café racer and scrambler vibes, but this premium bike also features a high tech electric drivetrain bundled into its head-turning package.
The Tarform Vera, on the other hand, weighs 360 pounds, and has a 35 kW electric motor with the same amount of torque as the Luna, which can push the bike from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of around 85 mph.The 8 kWh battery is said to have a range of up to 100 miles, with a similar recharge time as the Luna, and since both bikes feature regenerative braking, it’s possible to recoup some of the range on long downhills.
