Most motorbike aficionados think of Tacita as a manufacturer of high-end off-road motorcycles, but the Italian company is set to expand its market share with the introduction of a T-Cruise, an electric motorcycle that is designed specifically for traditional urban use.
This particular electric cruiser motorcycle, set to be introduced to the public at AIMExpo 2017 in Ohio, is set to be equipped with a battery pack capable of churning out up to 27 kilowatt-hours, allowing the bike's riders to enjoy a range of as much as 270 km.
With a five-speed gearbox, two engine settings and its estimated range, this electric motorcycle is squarely targeted in the direction of urban motorbike users looking for a safe and high-performance two-wheeler, rather than off-road adrenaline junkies.
