Urban S


The Urban S is an electric motorcycle made by Evoke Motorcycles and is Evoke's first production model to be sold worldwide
The Urban S has been on sale in China since summer 2015 and is scheduled for release in selected European countries early 2018. Due to the 100% electric drivetrain of the bike, it is exempt from the strict licensing requirements for gasoline powered motorbikes in the larger metropolitan areas such as Shanghai and Beijing. The European version of the Urban S will have CBS in order to meet the EEC type approval legislation.

Battery

The Urban S uses a 99.2 V 90 Ah Li-on Samsung SDI battery and has a range of 125 miles city and 75 miles highway at 50 mph. The batteries have a predicted lifespan of 125,000 miles before reaching a charging capacity of 80% but can still be used after this point with a reduced range.
The Urban S can be charged fully using either 220 V for 4 hours or 110 V for 8 hours.

Licence Class

The Urban S comes under the 125cc classification in Europe so can therefore be ridden on an A1 licence or a CBT in the UK

Drivetrain

It uses a 400A DC wave controller with regenerative braking to increase efficiency.
The electric motor is a 19 kW 17" high output hub motor. It is air cooled and brushless. The hub design allows better cooling, a decreased chance of overheating/warping the casing and increases the life span of the unit.
