Automatic Motorcycle Models That Are Actually Worth Riding
By LUKE MITCHELL
Stark VARG
The Stark VARG electric dirt bike from Stark Future provides up to six hours of power on a two-hour charge and produces 80 horsepower while only weighing 260 pounds.
With no clutch or shifter, the focus is on riding. Performance is tweaked via a console that uses Stark's Android-based instrument panel and console that offers 100 rider modes.
Fuell Fllow
The result of French and American collaboration involving Erik Buell, the Fuell Fllow is a practical urban machine with the latest EV technology.
The Fllow is built using a modular design, so you can switch out certain parts for the latest technology. The bike has many safety features and two ride modes.
Zero SR/F
While some may lament the lack of a clutch, the Zero SR/F is an impressive motorcycle that makes up for this deficiency with gadgets, performance tech, and rideability.
The 110-horsepower machine can go from 0 to 60 in three seconds, has a 187-mile range, and a 60-minute charge time. It also comes with a five-year warranty.
Honda ADV150
Capable in the city as it is on backroads, Honda's ADV150 adventure scooter is a robust machine for when you feel like going off the beaten track.
It has a rugged suspension with Showa forks and ABS as standard. In profile, its high ground clearance and upswept exhaust are reminiscent of an adventure bike.
BMW CE 04
The BMW CE 04 is an urban commuter with a range of 80 miles and can charge up to 80% of the battery's capacity in just over an hour.
The CE 04 has many innovative and practical features and is a pleasant riding experience. However, its downsides include a lack of built-in storage and a small windshield.
