FAQs
What is an EMP?
An EMP is an Electric Motorcycle with Pedals, aka Electric Moto Pedaler. The is a two wheeled electric vehicle that has power and speed ranges outside of the classifications of an electrically assisted bicycle but maintains the human powered pedal system like a standard bicycle. An EMP is basically silent, lightweight, can be pedaled, and has the torque, power, and speed of a motorcycle. All of our EMP's are extremely offroad capable and resilient similar to a dirtbike.
What's the max range of your EMP's?
Battery sizes are as follows:
1.8 KWH | 12-60 miles of range.
2 KWH | 14-70 miles of range.
3 KWH | 20-100 miles of range.
4 KWH | 30-150 miles of range.
Riding easy vs hard can result in a ~5x difference in range. This is true for all battery powered high-performance vehicles.
What is ride time on the Yardy and Yard Boss
The Yardy comes standard with a 1 KWH pack, and an optional 1.5 KWH pack, and the Yard Boss comes standard with the 1.5 KWH. If riding hard, the ride time is 20-30 minutes, and just cruising can last up to 2 hours. Both the karts come equipped with a three-position switch to mitigate power and speed and to help extend ride time.
How capable are the EMP's?
Acceleration: Our EMP's have unprecedented torque, power, speed, and range! The Recon is more capable than anything like it on the market and the Racer is quicker and faster than any other vehicle in the world with pedals.
Nimbleness: Added weight from a larger battery is hardly noticeable. Light, powerful, and agile.
Terrain: Standard 8" front and 10" rear suspension allow you to overcome most all obstacles.
What is the Performance Motor wheel?
Hand-built in the USA with the best rim in the world, the Sun Rim (made in the USA) and almost doubling the spoke diameter from the standard motorwheel. It cushions the motor from high impacts and rocky conditions. Mitigating dented rims with its higher sidewall and wider tire with the heaviest duty tube available on the market. This is essential if you'll be pushing your bike to the highest levels of performance, or if you just want a set it and forget it configuration.
Rain and wet conditions?
Our PEV's can handle rain and water splashes. However, submerging the vehicles with is not recommended and can lead to component damage or failure. All of the vehicles are considered water resistant but not waterproof.
How should I clean my bike?
It is not suggested to pressure wash or spray off your vehicle to clean it. It is best to use a clean, dry or damp microfiber cloth to wipe down your ride or in extreme situations you can use a brush to remove hard packed dirt and grim or leave it dirty as your badge of honor.
