The E2 is driven by a rear rim-mounted motor with a hubless design that looks like it was borrowed from Tron’s Lightcycle. Feeding off three power cables, the design reduces rotational mass while delivering 67 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.

It also works as a regenerative brake that can help recharge the battery, which is available in ranges from 124-186 miles per charge. It’s activated by the left handlebar lever, since there are not gears or clutch, while the right one activates a conventional twin-disc brake on the front wheel.

The long-wheelbase bike is dressed in sparse, modern bodywork and has a digital instrument cluster with built-in navigation mounted on top of what looks like a tank, but is really just a cover for the battery mounted where an engine is usually found.

According to Motorcyclist, the final price hasn’t been set but is targeted at 24,900 euros, which is around $28,000, which is a little less than Harley-Davidson is charging for its upcoming LiveWire electric sport bike.
