Starts production of serial electric motorcycles Tarform

Brooklyn-based Tarform Motorcycles said testing of its new bike has been completed and the necessary permits have been filed, allowing it to begin production in the near future. motorcycleThe Tarform Luna, which will cost $24, will occupy the high-end e-bike segment.


Recall that the presentation of the concept was back in 2020. But the coronavirus pandemic slowed down work and the start of production dragged on for almost 2 years. But, as noted by the development team, this allowed us to spend extra time on bringing the design and technical parameters to the ideal. This is a reliable motorcycle that will give the owners a lot of good emotions.

Tarform design leaves no one indifferent. Someone likes it, but someone considers it too strange and unsuitable for everyday use. As stated by the representatives of the company, their goal was to create a unique motorcycle that would stand out everywhere. But at the same time, great attention was paid to safety and ergonomics.



As for technical characteristics, the model accelerates to 193 km / h and has a range of 190 km in the city. That is, when driving at a three-digit speed, this figure will be almost halved, which is not much by modern standards.

The battery capacity is 10 kWh, the claimed charging time is 2 hours. The battery gains 80% capacity in 50 minutes. But the model does not have the possibility of fast DC charging, which can be considered a significant drawback. The total weight of the electric bike is 200 kg.



The sound of the motorcycle deserves special attention. According to the developers, in order to get a unique acoustic profile, they did not take a ready-made version. The basis is the sound of an electric motor, which is processed by a resonator specially made for this purpose in order to provide a certain timbre. This not only makes the model safer, since others can hear the motorcycle from afar, but also creates a closer connection between man and technology. The rider feels the motorcycle better and understands in what power range the engine works.



The model is made by hand, so sales volumes will be small. Tarform was originally conceived as a kind of exclusive for connoisseurs. Build quality is given close attention. In the near future, mass production should not be expected.
