The 'eScrambler' electric motorbike from 'Switch' is now available for consumers to officially preorder. The electric motorbike, which was originally unveiled as a concept bike in 2020, is slated for an official release in 2023. The eScrambler is notable as it marks the creation of the world's first fully-electric scrambler motorbike, meaning it is the first fully-electric motorbike that is built specifically for off-roading events and off-road sports races.
The focus of the eScrambler required powerful components including a 70 horsepower motor, a 150-kilometer range, and a 160-kilometer top speed, meaning the bike can be driven for approximately one hour before it needs to be charged, assuming the rider is at top speed. The eScrambler is currently available for preorder at its MSRP of $11,999 USD.
