Coupled with a gorgeous power of 162 Ps and a stunning torque of 163 Nm, the machine can take the rider to the fastest experience that anyone can have on an electrically powered superbike. This amazing motorcycle goes to the toppest speed of 257 kmph, which is indeed incredible as far as an electric bike is concerned.
