The Future of Commuting: Electric Motorcycles Surging Ahead

August 12, 2021

How are electric motorcycles changing the way we commute to work for the better? Are you ready for the future of commuting?

After more than a decade of electric cars getting visibility and following from enthusiasts, it’s time for electric motorcycles to take center stage. While the industry is relatively new, it’s already massively disrupting the motorcycle industry and the automotive sector. And in a world where people begin to rethink how they travel and commute to work, owning an electric motorcycle makes a lot of sense. For some, electric motorcycles serve as the future of commuting. Here’s why:


1.Electric motorcycles can reduce commuting time.

Commuting to work can be time-consuming. In the 2019 report released by the US Census Bureau, the one-way commute a worker spends each day is 27.6 minutes , representing a 10% increase over 14 years from 2006. Notably, time spent is more for employees who use the public transport system. 


With more and more workers wanting to spend their time on valuable things, electric motorcycles for commuting to work offer a better solution. They can get to work within minutes and not worry about waking up early. This means they don’t have to skip breakfast or miss out on dinners with family. With more time on their hands, employees can have better control of their time. 

2. Electric motorcycles are cost-effective.

Electric motorcycles may be a bit expensive than gas-powered ones. However, factoring in the cost of ownership, electric motorcycles offer tons of savings. Calculating the miles rode over the cost of “fueling” the bike, electric motorcycle owners can save hundreds of dollars annually. In five years, owners can save as much as $1,500 on fuel alone. Adding the cost of maintenance and insurance can provide even more savings.

A survey conducted by the Chicago Loop Alliance found that organizations with onsite workers have 50% of their workers using personal cars to commute to work, way higher than the number of those using public transport combined. This means that as people choose to lessen their exposure to the virus, they increase their carbon emission contribution. 


By using electric motorcycles, workers can enjoy the luxury of skipping public transport and lessening their carbon footprint. 


Final Thoughts: Electric Motorcycles are the Future of Commuting

As we move forward to a technologically driven world, many individuals are pushing the boundaries when it comes to the future of commuting. The use of electric cars has proven to be beneficial for many. As such, they’re looking for more economical and future-forward options, and one of them is electric motorcycles.

Data logging for electric vehicles offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it enables vehicle owners and enthusiasts to comprehensively analyse and evaluate their vehicle's performance. By recording essential parameters such as engine RPM, speed, throttle position, and braking force, among others, data logging facilitates the identification of areas for improvement, fine-tuning of vehicle settings, and tracking of performance changes over time. Furthermore, data logging serves as a valuable diagnostic and troubleshooting tool, providing crucial information about sensor readings, error codes, and system behaviour during specific events or conditions. This empowers mechanics and vehicle owners to identify problems accurately and make informed decisions regarding repairs or maintenance. For performance enthusiasts, data logging allows customization and optimization of vehicle settings, as continuous monitoring and logging of performance data enable precise fine-tuning of engine parameters, suspension settings, and other components. This approach helps achieve desired performance characteristics while maximizing efficiency. Importantly, data logging contributes to safety by providing insights into driver behaviour and vehicle performance, recording data related to acceleration, braking, speed, and other parameters. This information can be utilized for training purposes, monitoring driving habits, and assessing vehicle performance during critical situations. Thus, data logging proves to be an invaluable tool, offering multifaceted advantages for vehicle owners, enthusiasts, mechanics, and the automotive industry as a whole. When it comes to Evoke Motorcycles, collected data is used for identifying errors and potential areas of improvement in prototypes and other models. If an error or an abnormality comes up in the data, it can be easily noticed and traced to its origin, helping identify the root of the problem. Furthermore, using data brings valuable insights into driver behaviour and its variety. If one behaviour is more prevalent than the other, or there are many, the design or parameters can be manipulated to better suit the driver and make the driving experience much more pleasant and comfortable. In the future, data analytics are planned to be shifted in the hands of AI/ML providing instantaneous criteria and analysis on the go, as the data is being collected. This will fully automate the process and result in much more detailed diagnostics once the AI is sufficiently trained on the past data processes. All of the data is collected and stored within the vehicle, as this surpasses the limitation of servers. If the data is stored within a server in one country, a user in the other might not be able to access it. If the data is stored inside the Evoke motorcycle itself, the user can access it at any point and maintains full control of their own riding data. If there are any issues with the electric motorcycle, or the user would like to understand their riding data better, it can be easily sent to Evoke for review, bypassing any geopolitical limitations that would be otherwise present with the use of servers. The vehicle records up to 10 hours of riding data and is collected every 0.5 seconds. As of 2024, the 120 collected data points make up the five main data pools:

Vehicles, that run with combustion engines or ICEs rely on a jackshaft to efficiently distribute the produced power or simply optimise the conversion of energy to the wheels of the vehicle. ICEs cannot automatically regulate the speed of their rotation. In order to control it, different gears are introduced, to be able to increase and decrease the torque. If the jackshaft is part of a transmission system, it may have multiple gears or pulleys of different sizes attached to it. These gears or pulleys can have different ratios, allowing for torque conversion or speed adjustment. Gear ratio can be calculated via the formula below:

In terms of automotive there may be a handful of principles that determine the overall form and componentry present on a vehicle. Inescapable is physics, aspirational is performance but as another 20th century icon dictated, there's no escaping the bottom line and in manufacturing that means a need to establish and maintain a lean operational footprint.
