Motorcycle specifications EmfluxONE 2019 Let yourself be surprised?

A high-performance electric vehicle with a long range is the grail sought by more and more automakers. Two notions that are not always easy to reconcile. Without shying away from this dilemma, the Indian company Emflux Motors has now embarked on this quest with the One, a very attractive sports bike heralded with interesting, even enviable, performance figures.

aggressive, this bike is a far cry from the stereotypes of electric motorcycles, which are often ugly or outlandish. The design of the stern is reminiscent of the R1, with bits of the KTM RC8 on certain edges of the tank, but the single-sided swingarm, the racy look, and the presence of noble peripherals on the top-of-the-range version are all to be appreciated.

the powertrain would give it the performance of a small sports bike, like the SV 650 S or the current 650 Ninja. Similar power (71 hp), more torque (8.6 mkg), and a very reasonable weight of 169 kilos herald a lively machine. The One is said to be capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 kph in 3 seconds, covering 200 km on a full tank of electrons, and topping out at 200 kph. However, if you're looking for that kind of performance, range will quickly plummet.

one of the key features of this Emflux is its charging system. With its built-in charger capable of handling a large flow, the battery can recover 80% of its capacity in just 36 minutes. On a standard socket in the garage, it won't be the same salad....
A braking energy recuperation system can be used to increase driving range by up to several kilometers. A useful refinement among the technologies on board the One. It features traction control, ABS, a 6.8-inch color TFT screen displaying speed, charge level, mileage functions, BluetoothgPS, charging zone location, connectivity with other bikers, and front and rear camera rendering... In short, it's like a Tesla on two wheels.

for this One, Emflux has embedded the battery in a tubular steel trellis frame. The suspension components are a 43 mm inverted fork and a monoshock - peripherals that become Öhlins on the premium version, with multiple adjustments. Brembo was chosen for braking, with 300 mm front discs clamped by 4-piston monobloc radial calipers, and a 220 mm rear disc.

then there's the often tricky question of price. The most enthusiastic models often come at trying prices. Emflux is surprisingly priced at around 7,500 euros for the standard version, or 13,800 euros for the version with forged rims, Öhlins parts and carbon bodywork. Budget specifications too good to be true. Will the One be a siren, a utopia or an electric illusion?
500 examples should be built. They will provide the answers; or the end of illusions.
