Which electric motorcycle has the longest range in 2025?
On paper, the longest-range electric motorcycle you can actually order today is the Verge TS Ultra. Verge claims up to 233 miles (≈375 km) max range with its full-body battery pack, plus DC fast charging in about 25 minutes.
For touring and more conservative marketing, the Energica Experia is a close “real-world” champion: its 22.5 kWh battery can deliver up to 420 km city and around 256 km highway on a charge.
Now let’s break down the 8 best electric motorcycles by range, reliability, price and charging.
1. Verge TS Ultra - Longest Claimed Range & Futuristic Design
- Brand / Origin: Verge Motorcycles, Finnish brand, bikes built in Estonia
- Battery & Power: Li-ion pack, up to 201 hp (~150 kW) hubless rear wheel motor
- Range: Up to 233 mi / 375 km in ideal conditions
- Charging: DC fast charge to near full in about 25 minutes
- Price (US): From around $44,900
Why it’s great:
Extreme range, wild hubless rear wheel and huge torque make it the halo bike of the segment.
Reliability notes:
Verge is still a younger startup brand, so dealer network and long-term parts support are not as proven as BMW, Zero or Harley/LiveWire.
2. Energica Experia - Long-Range Adventure Tourer
- Brand / Origin: Energica Motor Company, Modena, Italy
- Battery & Power: 22.5 kWh max (19.6 kWh nominal), around 60 kW (~80 hp)
- Range: Up to 420 km city / ~256 km highway, among the longest real-world figures on the market
- Charging: DC fast charge to ~80% in ≈40–60 minutes
- Price (US): Roughly $23,750–$25,880+ depending on trim
Why it’s great:
If you want touring range + hard luggage + Italian build quality, this is one of the most mature long-range electric motorcycles available.
Reliability notes:
Energica supplied bikes for the MotoE race series and has a reputation for solid engineering and premium components.
3. Damon HyperSport HS - High-Performance Future Long-Range Bike
- Brand / Origin: Damon Motors, Canada

- Range: About 200 miles (322 km) combined city/highway
- Charging: DC fast charge to 80% in ≈45 minutes, Level 2 in ~2.5 h
Why it’s great:
Designed as a 200 mph superbike with long range and advanced safety (CoPilot, adaptive systems). It’s a “future tech” showcase.
Reliability notes:
Still an emerging manufacturer; bikes are only just reaching customers and are priced as premium early-adopter machines. Good to watch closely, but check delivery timelines and dealer/service support in your country.
4. Zero DSR/X - Best All-Round Electric Adventure Bike
- Brand / Origin: Zero Motorcycles, California, USA
- Battery & Power: 17.3 kWh pack (upgradable to nearly 21 kWh with Power Tank), Z-Force 75-10X motor

- Charging: 6.6 kW onboard AC; Level 2 fills the pack in about 2–3 hours, faster with optional extra charger
- Price (US): From $22,995 (more with Power Tank / rapid charger)
For real adventure riding, the DSR/X is one of the best balanced electric motorcycles: usable range, upright ergonomics and a growing dealer network.
Reliability notes:
Zero is one of the oldest dedicated electric-only motorcycle brands, with a decent track record and relatively good parts availability in North America and Europe.
5. LiveWire One – Premium Naked With Fast DC Charging
- Brand / Origin: LiveWire (spun out of Harley-Davidson), built in the USA
- Battery & Power: 15.4 kWh battery, 0–60 mph in 3 seconds

- Price (US): From around $16,499 on LiveWire’s own bike builder (higher in some markets)
Why it’s great:
If you want a premium naked electric with real DC fast charging and the backing of Harley’s experience, the LiveWire One is a very strong choice for city and short-range touring.
Reliability notes:
Built on Harley-Davidson’s engineering base, with big-brand quality, ABS, traction control and software support. You also get a growing LiveWire dealer/service network.
6. BMW CE 04 - Urban Commuter With Big-Brand Support
(Technically a scooter, but many shoppers search it under “electric motorcycle.”)
- Brand / Origin: BMW Motorrad, Germany
- Battery & Power: 8.9 kWh battery, 31 kW (≈42 hp) motor
- Range: Around 130 km (~81 mi) per charge
- Charging: 0–100% in about 4 h 20 min on AC; 0–80% in roughly 3.5 hours with standard charger
- Price (US): Base price around $11,800–$12,000 new, depending on market and trim
Why it’s great:
Perfect for daily city commuting: low running costs, high-end electronics (TFT, connectivity, ABS/ASC) and BMW’s 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty.
Reliability notes:
BMW Motorrad has global dealer coverage and strong parts support, making the CE 04 one of the safest choices if you care about long-term service.
7. Maeving RM2 - Classic Style, Urban Range
- Brand / Origin: Maeving, UK; classic-inspired electric bikes
- Battery & Power: Dual removable batteries (capacity varies), designed for city speeds

- Price (US): Around $10,995, with US deliveries planned for early 2026
Why it’s great:
If you want a retro-styled electric motorbike that looks like a classic Triumph but runs silently, the RM2 is one of the most stylish, city-focused options.
Reliability notes:
Newer company, but run by people with Triumph background and offers mobile servicing plus strong customer support in the UK and expanding markets.
8. SONDORS Metacycle - Budget Entry Into Electric Motorcycles
- Brand / Origin: SONDORS, US brand; production in China
- Battery & Power: Around 4 kWh battery, lightweight chassis
- Range: Claimed 80 mi, but independent tests report closer to 60 mi real-world
- Charging: Roughly 5.5 hours (0–100%) on 110 V AC
- Price (US): Around $6,500 recently, with earlier promo pricing closer to $5,000
Why it’s great:
One of the cheapest highway-capable electric motorcycles, ideal if you want to experiment with EV riding without premium-bike prices.
Reliability notes:
Owners report mixed experience: delays, spec changes and range below marketing claims. It’s a fun toy or short-range commuter, but not the strongest choice if long-term reliability and support are your top priority.
