Irvine, California-based Ryvid is new on the motorcycle scene, and it isn’t shy about its aerospace roots. The self-proclaimed “aerospace industry gearheads” bring a sleek yet purposeful design to the EV mobility market with the Anthem, a new lightweight electric motorbike catering to the commuting crowd.
As ever, range and charge times are key to an electric model’s viability, and Ryvid positions the Anthem to compete with today’s top contenders. The 4.3 kWh lithium-ion battery nets up to 75 miles (50 miles in Sport Mode) and its removable and rollable configuration eases the recharging process. When connected to a 220V outlet, the Anthem regains all its juice in just three hours, while a 110V outlet results in a six-hour charge time.
