Maverick motorcycle engineer Erik Buell goes electric with new Fuell ebike startup
Motorcycle design icon Erik Buell is back once again, but this time his focus is on the next wave of mobility technologies: electric bikes and motorcycles. His sleek Fluid ebike and Flow electric motorcycle are for the mass market, not just the go-fast crowd.
- The new Fuell bikes include - so far - a powered bicycle and an urban-focused motorcycle.
- Erik Buell is go-fast guy and a living legend in the world of performance motorcycles , and ten years after his association with Harley-Davidson came to a sudden, unexpected end, Buell is back with a new bike venture, Fuell, that strangely seems to shadow Harley once again.
- Fuell recently introduced two bikes, one of which is actually a bicycle, called the Fluid, albeit an electric one.
- The other machine, called the Flow, is an urban-focused electric motorcycle.
- The base Fluid ebike will have a 250-watt crank-centered electric motor, while the "S" version bumps up to a 500-watt motor.
