If you somehow remember the Sur-Ron White Ghost, this is basically the same thing, so move on. If not, well, read on...

The bike features a liquid-cooled mid-drive electric motor with a claimed top speed of 100kmph.
The Voge ER 10 was showcased at the China International Motorcycle Show.
It has a claimed range of about 100-120km per charge.
Voge plans to introduce the ER 10 at EICMA this November.

Most electric motorcycles look a bit too bland for anyone’s taste, but not this one. Voge recently showcased the alien-esque ER 10 electric motorcycle at the China International Motorcycle Show, and boy does it look good! It packs a mid-mounted motor setup, decent set of underpinnings and a battery pack that should address range anxiety -- well, at least within city limits.

The front fascia comprises of a unique LED headlamp flanked by what looks like wind deflectors. Its sharp and angular tank shrouds incorporate the turn indicators to keep the front end clean and simple, while a forged aluminium frame holds the entire body and mechanical components together. Its slightly rear-set footpegs and tall handlebars should make for a relaxed yet sporty riding posture. At 115kg kerb, it’s fairly lightweight too.

Add a powerful liquid-cooled 6 kW mid-drive electric motor to the equation and you have a claimed top speed of about 100kmph. As for the motor itself, it’s rated to put out 19PS of peak power and a maximum torque output of 42Nm. Working in conjunction with the motor is a 60V/70Ah Panasonic lithium ion battery that can deliver a company-claimed range of around 100km, which may increase to 120km if you keep the needle below 32kmph.

As for its mechanicals, the Voge ER 10 features an upside-down fork, a multi-link adjustable rear shock, and disc brakes at both ends with ABS as standard.

Admittedly, the name is a bit confusing and that’s because there are two manufacturers involved in the ER 10’s design and development process. Sur-Ron, a Chinese based electric manufacturer first showcased the bike around two years ago with the name ‘White Ghost.’ Post this, the bike vanished in thin air. Supposedly, the production rights have now been transferred to motorcycle manufacturer Voge (hence the Voge ER 10), who has been in the international two-wheeler market since 2016. The brand wanted to set foot into the booming electric segment, and the ER 10 was the perfect fit for its future vision. It’s also the first electric bike from the company.

Voge aims to introduce the ER 10 this November at EICMA with an expected price of $4,750 (approx. Rs 3.37 lakh). Pretty steep for a commuter-ish motorcycle, am I right? That said, it’s unlikely that the bike will ever see the light of day here in India.

madhuyashvanth | 4 years ago @ Prem | Indians need range at cheaper cost. Which as of now is not possible due to the cost of lithium ion batteries. A 3kw lithium ion battery costs 30-35k that can get the range of two wheeler to 120--130km on avg at 70kmph max speed. But since the battery itself costs 35k. Many manufacturers have compromised the speed to be restricted to 50-60kmph and reduce the motor and battery capacity to get down the price below 1 lakh. But those are not selling well since the speed is very less and they have compromised heavily on build quality and looks.Ather 450 has looks build and range is 75km max at 45kmph speed. At max speed 80kmph it can achieve only 55km range.Still among all the Chinese rebadged ones..Ather 450 stands best at 1.16 lakhs ...Read More Sorry but we Indians have brain. So, we can estimate the price cost and efficiency. That's how we make our price level. Basically to make an electronic bike it costs in between 30k but manufacturers are uprising the price upto 1 lakh and are expecting huge profits from the customer side. Someone in North India made an electric bike with just 15k. If it is possible then we can expect a bike in between 40-60 k range. ...Read More 8 Reply

Souvik | 4 years ago @ Chandra | Sir indians need very economically priced scooter/bikes 40 to 50 k. with 60 to 70 kms per charge. Electric two wheelers means mainly with battery. Why can,t our young scientists present us with such bikes. Next generayion bikrs will be only electric ones. TVS like models with electric battery. Before china does why can,t we. ...Read More RV 400 is the answer for now.. Hope for better ones in future.. 2 Reply
