EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES!

The electric motorcycle industry and the internal combustion engine one are more alike than you think.
Just like combustion motorcycles, also electric motorcycles have different vehicle segments according to the
motorcycle power.
Everyone knows the difference between a 125cc, a 600, or a 1000cc, but what about an electric motorcycle?
What are the technical specifications to define the class of your vehicle?
There are many different sizes and types of electric bikes on the market, here’s how to understand the main
features, so you will pick the right electric motorcycle for you.
Let’s start with these 3 key features:
Power: Power can be measured in kW or hp
1kW = 1,36 hp
I.e.: our sportbike Rexnamo EXSuperCruiser has 107 kW, about 145.52 hp.
If you want to make a comparison, 11 kW correspond to a 125cc; 50 kW correspond to a medium power bike;
80 kW correspond to a high-performing motorcycle.
The Rexnamo bikes have a range power output from 80 to 107 kW.
Torque: this force is measured in Nm. The higher the torque, the greater the acceleration of the
motorcycle.
I.e.:Rexnamo EXSuperCruiser has 200 Nm of torque, more than any supersport combustion engine
motorcycle.
Speed: It is measured in km/h and depends on engine power and weight of the bike. The 240 km/h
represent the average maximum speed of a high-powered motorcycle.
I.e.:Rexnamo motorcycle are autolimited at 240 km/h for EXSuperCruiser.
In addition to these features, there are other very important and useful features to evaluate an electric bike:
Battery capacity: this is the amount of energy useful for the use of the motorcycle.
It’s measured in Ampere-hour (Ah).
The nominal capacity of a battery is the amount of energy that can be withdrawn from it at a particular
constant current, starting from a fully charged state.
The maximum capacity of a battery is the total amount of energy it contains when fully charged.
The battery capacity is not typically given in terms of maximum capacity (this does not refer to real battery
capacity).
I.e.: the nominal capacity of Rexnamo motorcycles battery is 11,7 kWh (the maximum capacity is 13.3 kWh).
Charger power: it’s measured in Watts. The higher the Watt’s value, the higher the power of charge.
All Rexnamo motorcycles can be charged at 20kW power at any CCS (combined charging system) DC Fast
Charger.
Moreover, all Rexnamo motorcycles have also a 3kW on board charger.
Charging and charging time. This is the formula to calculate correctly the charging time according to the
battery capacity and the battery power:
kWh battery / kW provided by the charger = hours charging

Example = kWh battery - 11.7 kWh (Rexnamo Pack Battery) / kW provided by the charger (20 kW (DC Fast
Charger)) = Number of Hours

kWh battery / kW provided by the charger = h charging

kWh battery / kW provided by the charger = h charging
kWh battery
kW provided by the charger
Hours

Rexnamo conforms to the international standards CCS (combined charging system).

Thanks to the unique onboard connector, you can recharge at the DC Fast Charge Stations and the AC
Chargers. When you use the DC Fast Charge Station, the bike can charge at 20kW up to 80/85% of its state of
charge (SOC) in about 20 minutes.
This guarantees 120 km of range in less than half an hour!
When using the AC charger, the bike can be charged in about 3.5 hours using the 3kW OBC (On Board
Charger).

LPR: this refers to the automatic battery maintenance device during the winter period or long periods of rest.
All Rexnamo models are equipped with the LPR (Long Period Rest).
This feature allows the maintenance and automatic battery balancing for a long period of time. The LPR keeps
the battery in the optimum state of charge in order to preserve and extend the life of the battery pack just by
leaving the motorcycle connected to a power outlet.
Range: it refers to the total range (Km) per charge and depends on many factors such as driving style, traffic,
weather conditions, driver weight, road type , riding position, tyre condition.
Chassis: this is an important element especially when it comes to motorcycles with high power and torque.
Without a proper chassis the motorcycles can become dangerous.
Rexnamo designers studied this aspect properly in order to guarantee to customers an excellent riding
experience, stability and safety.
