Fonz moto have been building electric bikes and scooters since 2010 with the early models designed for inner city commuting and looking a lot more like a Vesper than road motorcycles. The ‘Arthur’ is capable of 85kph and has a range of 130kms. Priced from $4,990 AUD the Arthur is a competitive option for those looking for a moped, the advanced version has hydraulic disk brakes front and back with CBS to reduce the braking distance and potential skidding. There is an LCD dashboard and LED headlamp and it comes in a range of delightful colours like Moon Blue, Scarlet Red, Racer Green or Matte Black.
The NKD steps this up significantly with a 200km range, top speed of 110kph and 3 power modes from Eco to Beast mode! You can charge using a portable charger using a trickle charge (4A) or fast charging 2.5X or 5X there is even an optional type 2 charger available for using public charging infrastructure. Suspension is a hydraulic telescoping fork with shock absorber, there is a hydraulic brake system with front and rear EBS (electronic braking system).
The NKD is very fast, able to hit 100kph in 3.9 seconds, that said it sits on 12 inch wheels so be very careful of the road conditions when you chose to tear it up. A series of recent reviews have put this bike through its paces all recognising that it corners well and has plenty of torque and zip to climb hills. The NKD starts at $11,990 and goes all the way up to $24,395 if you select all the options like we did with our dream model below.
