[E Grom Tuner]

Looking at a few Grom Style Electric Motorcycles from a few dealers :

Motorino XMR
Armada Retaliator
Daymak EM1

If anyone has any reviews or comments on these bikes or knowledge of the Chinese model they are rebadged as it would be appreciated.

Do you have any photos, specifications and manufacturer links for these electric motorcycles?  I have never heard of them.

I don't have personal experience with these bikes but I have been looking at all electric motorcycles available to purchase. I would ask where you are from and plan to ride? The reason for that is these all are governed to go about 32kph and max distance around 50-60km. I've only seen these used in Canada since you can ride these in the bike lanes there. In the U.S. there are different laws per state whether you can ride in bike lanes. They also use lead acid batteries with 200-300 charge cycles, but I believe some have the option of upgrading to lithium.

I suggest looking on YouTube for people that own one of these and asking for their experience with them. They look just like the Grom and I am all for electric but not sure if these would make sense for a lot of people due to lack of speed and distance. So it would depend on what you would want one of these for, just having fun or needing to use it for your main transportation.

They all seem interesting enough to me...
Most of them are simple lead acid...so I would want to change the battery... but there is tons of space.

the motor is the same hub motor some of the scooters run... controller is the same too.. basically the same thing as an ebike.

You could make it pretty cool with a battery/controller swap... but stock I find them lacking.

I would play with one if I found it used cheap... but I wouldnt buy one full price

From Westcoast of BC Canada. Wouldnt be for main transpo but for short runs around town and to work occasionally. These should be able to have the governor bypassed to reach 50kph from what I've heard. No insurance or registration needed in Canada as they're considered a bike. Didn't know it wasn't the same in the USA.

These E Grom replicas seem to be very popular in Canada. I think one of these would be great to go for fun rides or an occasional work or errand trip. In the U.S. unfortunately there aren't a lot of places that these can be used. Again it all depends on your state and the laws, but Canada seems to be the perfect place for one of these.

Cute little motorcycles.  But in California you would need a motorcycle license and insurance to ride them and they would not be permitted in bike lanes. Therefore you would have to mix it up with auto traffic and for that you need to maintain at least a 45 mph speed uphill to ride around most built-up areas without becoming a car's hood ornament. They look like a fun bike, but not very practical around here.

I have seen a number of modified IC Groms and the like in my area, but most have been modified to have a top speed of about 70 mph.

Looking more into these E-Groms the Daymak EM1 has an app for your phone which allows for you to connect to the bike via bluetooth and alter different variables for the bike.

I was really hoping Suzuki would throw their hat in the mix with the Suzuki Extrigger (concept).

Even that concept needed to be scaled up.https://www.wired.com/2013/10/suzuki-extrigger/
"...that battery/motor combo is only good for 20 miles of range and a maximum speed of 20 mph."

The new bike will be sold directly to customers via the company’s website. This has become standard practice for CSC, which has decided to abandon the dealership-sales model.

Now this is something nice to read

This is a completely diffrent style bike, that uses a moped style motor-in-swingarm instead of the hub motor.

Zero has a single-brick Grom build that I saw at Laguna Seca during Refuel 10, and apparently it made a stealth appearance at SF Moto:

Some indicated it's unlikely they'll offer it for sale given the powertrain expense compared to the size of the bike.

I think they need a bike with a lower seat height no matter what.

It would also be nice if they made a fullsize bike with a higher seat too. It seems like everyone is out to get a lower seat height for the people afraid that they cant flat-foot... Thats fine for beginner bikes, and of course mini-bikes are short... but dammit zero, make something thats not an 90% actual size bike first... lol
