The RMK E2 electric motorcycle
Finnish electric motorcycle brand RMK is going ahead with production for the RMK E2 electric bike. The RMK E2 will be one of the first electric bikes to hit production which will feature an electric drive, and a hubless rear wheel. The unique feature about the E2 is that it not only uses a hubless wheel at the rear, but the rear wheel itself is the electric motor. The integrated electronic motor has been designed into the frame of the rim, and power output is rated at 67 bhp (50 kW) and 320 Nm of instant torque, which will propel the bike to a top speed of 160 kmph.The RMK E2 truly sets itself apart in its design thanks mainly to the wild-looking hubless rear wheel. By hubless, we mean that the wheel is driven directly by the rim with no other final drive. This means there's no chain or belt with their assorted sprockets and cogs. There's no BMW- or Moto Guzzi-esque driveshaft and differential either.
