Launched by petrol-driven motorcycle company Curtiss (formerly known as Confederate) back in 2015, its electric bike division is finally open for orders on its first production ride. Called the Curtiss 1, it’s listed at $115,000; deposits for this limited run of 300 machines are $30k – so, what are you getting for your investment?
Well, the design takes plenty of inspiration from the Glenn Curtiss V8-powered land-speed bikes from the early 1900s. It’ll definitely turn heads.
The 193kg completed ride will give you power output equivalent to around 108bhp with 147.5lb.ft of torque. Teasing a future software update, Curtiss says it can get that up to 214bhp, which is more than most superbikes.
