switch on: cleveland cyclewerks falcon electric café racer motorcycle

designed and made in the US state of ohio, cleveland cyclewerks reveals the falcon electric motorcycle that pairs emission-free range in a fun, new package. the design depicts two angular, bench-seated café racer models: the falcon 01 and falcon BLK. both e-bikes are said to be capable of over the air updates to improve longevity.

while paying tribute to their previous models, the cleveland cyclewerks falcon showcases a more modern direction in terms of aesthetics. angular forms are created through the interplay of its open, skeletal chassis and black, gray and light blue body panels. the result is a retro-futuristic motorcycle, starting from its bulbous single headlight all the way down to its closed-off 17-inch cast aluminum wheels.

the bike’s skeletal chasis is bent by a robot before being hand welded. the design shapes its wishbone frame and supports the long bench seat, centrally mounted adjustable rear shock, 48 mm inverted forks, and dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes. this is all delivered at a lightweight of just 79 kg.

its mid-mounted 13 kw motor produces 39 Nm of torque that propels it to a top speed of 85 mph (137 km/h). this is supported by two 2.2-kWh battery packs that deliver a range of 180 miles (290 km) per charge. the driver has four power modes – eco, custom, ego and wheelie – in order to adjust performance to match their journey, from efficient long distance to sporty driving.
