Electric motorcycle why no gear box?

An electric Motorcycle does not require a gearbox because it operates on a different powertrain system compared to traditional internal combustion engine motorcycles. Electric motorcycles are powered by electric motors that deliver instant torque, eliminating the need for a gearbox to switch between gears for optimal power output. This makes electric motorcycles simpler to operate and maintain, as riders do not need to shift gears while riding. Additionally, the absence of a gearbox reduces the overall weight and complexity of the electric Motorcycle. However, it is important to note that some electric motorcycles do have multiple-speed gearboxes to enhance performance and efficiency, but it is not a necessity like it is in traditional motorcycles.
