Fast Charging: The Holy Grail of Electric Motorcycles
Motorcycle enthusiasts have long been caught in the electric conundrum: brilliant range and performance overshadowed by the dreaded wait to recharge. But look who’s riding in to save the day! Spanish start-up BBM Motorcycles has unveiled the Hiro, a stunning piece of machinery that promises to break the recharge time barrier with its jaw-dropping 15-minute charge to 80%!
The Hiro: All Torque, No Hold-ups
With a stout 93.9bhp and 110lb.ft of torque, the Hiro boasts a range of around 220km (136.7 miles) between charges. Perfect for that blissful weekend ride or your daily commute, it ensures you won’t be stuck at a charging station longer than at your favorite café! Equipped with DC fast charging compatibility, this sleek bike can add 62 miles of range in just nine minutes. Now that’s a coffee break!
Shifting Gears: The Future Awaits
Of course, we can’t ignore that while DC charging stations are popping up like mushrooms after rain, they’re still not as common as we’d like. However, BBM’s founders, the clever Barras brothers, are on a mission. They understand that to truly transform electric motorcycles into a thrilling experience, fast charging is essential. Their next steps involve prototypes rolling off the production line by 2027, ready to turn heads as they sprint into the market, all for the price of £17,690.
So, gear up and hold onto your helmets! The future of electric riding is zooming towards us, and it’s looking bright (and fast)!
