Does the C-Series have gears and a clutch?

Like most electric motorcycles, the C-Series is single-geared and does not have gears or a clutch - just twist and go!

How easy is it to ride an electric motorcycle?

There is a lot less for the rider to manage with no gearing, making it easier to concentrate on road awareness.

Is the C-Series LAMS Approved?

LAMS Approval is different state by state within Australia.
As an example in NSW the LAMS Approved guide through RMS states a power up to 25kW or less for electric motorcycles. As the Delta starts at 40kW and Alpha at 60kW, the C-Series will not be LAMS Approved.

Can you limit the power to make the C-Series LAMS Approved?

No. We will have future models in our product portfolio which will be LAMS Approved.

Standard type 2 which can charge at 2.7kw off a standard 240v house plug. If you want to charge at 3.5kw then a 15amp plug is needed.

Where can I charge it?

Anywhere you can charge a phone, you can charge your C-Series with the adapter that comes with the motorcycle.

Does the C-Series support fast charging (DC)?

Not at this stage, we are looking into this option for future products.
