The 2022 Zero FXE is praised for its sleek design and affordability in the electric motorcycle category. It offers instant acceleration, easy steering and comfort, but lacks a bit in range.

The Ryvid Anthem, an electric motorcycle designed by Dong Tran, displays many innovative features. Notably, a modular design, flat stainless-steel frame, removable and wheelie battery pack, and a motor mounted on the swingarm. It also utilizes an insulated printed circuit board instead of a conventional wiring harness. Stationed to start production in late 2022, the motorcycle, priced at $7,800, targets Asian markets where more sustainability and adaptability are required.
