Other features of RMK E2 motorcycle

The RMK E2 motorcycle is still a prototype that was presented at the motorcycle show in Helsinki. It does not have a standard drive chain, but its electric motorization comes directly from the rim of its rear wheel, as the motorcycle does not have a hub. A model between the sporty type and the roadster, the RMK motorcycle is the perfect competitor to the Harley Davidson Live Wire. The motorcycle also does not have a braking system which is compensated by the power of the engine brake. The price of this marvel remains however still very high reaching 24.990 euros payable in two payments of 2000 euros (non-refundable) and a second payment of 23.000 euros. You must therefore make a pre-order with the supplier if you wish to own one.
