A small electric motorcycle with a 1 horsepower, 24 volt DC motor, the Auranthetic Charger was able to hit 25-30 miles per hour and cover a range of approximately 20-30 miles.
The proportions of this bike always make it look smaller than it really is – it actually weighs about 200 pounds. But what I find most fascinating is how the throttle work. It’s not a potentiometer, but a two-stage twist. Turn the throttle a little for initial acceleration, and then turn…a little bit more (past a ‘click’) to get to full power. That’s it! If you’re feeling particularly quirky, you can also try to source the 3-wheeled variant that was produced. Want to learn more? Head on over to Econogics for all the information you’d want.
