1999 EMB Lectra VR24 electric motorcycle, made by Electric Motor Bike of
Santa Rosa, California. Low mileage - only 624 miles. Features onboard
re-charging system. Runs completely on four 12 V lead-acid deep cycle batteries. No oil. No gas.
Temporary batteries are installed to allow a test ride, but new 4 replacement
batteries will be needed. A ride that will $ave the money to pay for itself, over time, by saving on gas
and oil expense. This is a collectible item. ONLY about 100 were ever manufactured!
This amazing bike gets about 22 miles per 4.25 hour charge (onboard charging
unit plugs directly into normal household current), Some charge is re-captured
upon braking utilizing a regenerative braking system. Single passenger only.
Initial acceleration is faster than most other vehicles on the road, which is a
plus on any motorcycle, due to its single drive transmission design, making it
safer. I have the pink slip. Price is firm. $2700. Cash only. Serious inquiries only please.

DISCLAIMER: sold 'AS IS'.
I would urge the next owner to have a bit of electrical/mechanical savvy, or
have a friend who does. Buyer will need to arrange transport from Santa Cruz
(as present batteries will not be included)

$2700 for a 16 year old bike with a shot battery? Seems ambitious, but perhaps someone will want it as a collectible.

Regen braking with lead acid batteries seems like a terrible idea.
