What kind of motorcycle would fit a very big guy?
« on: January 13, 2016, 07:01:12 AM »

I'm new here and I'm new in this field too, but I'd love to get a ebike soon. The problem is that I don't know what kind would be suitable for me since I'm very big, 7'2 foot tall and almost 600 lbs. I've tried to find some models that would do it for me, but it didn't work. Maybe you can help me with some suggestions. Thanks in advance!

One thing is for sure, you won't fit on a Zero.   ;)

Welcome to the forum! 

Right now the options for electric motorcycles are limited to a few bikes available for purchase and several that can be pre-ordered.  A thorough guide can be found here:

Do you currently ride a motorcycle?
