By now, environmentally conscious consumers can pick from a fairly broad range of electric cars — from tiny city cars, to medium-sized hatchbacks, to full-blown luxury SUVs. The market for battery-powered two-wheelers isn't nearly as active, but interesting new e-motorcycles do hit the streets from time to time.
Take Tarform, for example. The Brooklyn-based startup recently unveiled its first street-legal production motorcycle — a sleek, retro-styled number called the Luna that seeks to combine old-school looks with modern tech and efficiency.
In the pursuit of environmental sustainability, Tarform not only shunned the internal combustion engine, but it also embraced materials like vegan leather for the seat and recycled aluminum for other components. And, rather than junk your bike after a few years, Tarform would like you to simply swap in new components — that's why it made the battery and body panels upgradeable.
