Evoke's 6061-GT is an Electric Motorcycle Built For Speed

Introducing the Fast and Furious Evoke 6061-GT Electric Motorcycle






Electric vehicles have existed for a while, but recent technological advancements make them even more intriguing. Regarding electric motorcycles, Evoke Motorcycle's latest offering, the 6061-GT electric motorcycle, is setting new standards in the industry. It was designed for two primary purposes: speed and range. This post explores the features and capabilities of this new motorcycle and what they mean for the future of electric motorcycling.





Speed is one of the top reasons people ride motorcycles, and the 6061-GT delivers just that. It boasts a top speed of 143 mph (230km/h), making it one of the fastest electric motorcycles commercially available today. The acceleration is impressive, going from 0 to 62 mph (100km/hr) in just 3.6 seconds. This is thanks to the bike's 90kW electric motor yielding 120hp. But what's even more exciting is that this speed doesn't come at the expense of range.


Range anxiety is a common concern for EV drivers, and it's even more crucial for motorcycle riders who don't have the option of carrying backup power with them. The 6061-GT tackles this issue with a range of up to 410 miles (660km) on a single charge. These numbers are based on city driving, where the motorcycle will be in stop/start situations and utilizing the variable regen braking. You can expect mixed highway and city driving to yield a range closer to 309 miles (497km), which is still pretty impressive. This number will differentiate greatly if you are heavy on the throttle.


So, where is all of this range coming from? This is due to Evoke's 6061-GT electric motorcycle's innovative use of a sizeable 34.3kWh lithium battery pack, allowing for higher energy density and overall battery capacity. (As of this writing, this is the largest motorcycle battery pack in production) The battery can be fast-charged to 80% in 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for long-distance riders and commuters. Just lift the taillight and plug it right in.




Aside from speed and range, the 6061-GT stands out for its cutting-edge technology. It boasts a 7-inch TFT display that provides essential information like speed, battery level, and trip data. The bike also has a mobile app that allows riders to check their battery's status and send navigation instructions via Bluetooth or WIFI to the GPS. The motorcycle has customizable riding modes, traction control, and ABS to ensure the rider's safety.


Another notable feature of the 6061-GT is its design. It has a sleek and aggressive appearance that matches its performance. The bike is made of aircraft-grade aluminum (The 6061 in the name calls out the aluminum alloy used). This makes it lightweight yet sturdy (It's not too light at 705lbs (320kg).



It also has a comfortable riding position, thanks to its adjustable footpegs and handlebars. Overall, this cruiser bike looks like a beast on the road. You can get all of this for the price tag of $24,995, with the vehicle available in arctic white and shadow black. You can place orders for the 6061-GT today but don't expect delivery before April 2024.





Conclusion and Takeaways: There is much to unpack here with all the 6061-Gt offers. Evoke Motorcycle's 6061-GT is a game-changer in the electric motorcycle industry. It proves that speed and range can coexist and that electric motorcycles can compete with their gas-powered counterparts.


But it's not just about performance; the bike also showcases the latest technology and design. And with electric vehicles becoming more mainstream, seeing what the future holds is exciting. The 6061-GT is a step in the right direction and should leave a lasting impression on those who ride it. So, whether you're an EV enthusiast, technophile, innovator, traveler, or motorcyclist, you may want to check out the 6061-GT and experience the thrill.
