KYMCO introduces SuperNEX electric high-performance supersport motorcycle

Taiwanese brand KYMCO is probably best known for its small and mid-capacity scooters, so the big reveal of its new electric SuperNEX might come as a bit of a surprise. The SuperNEX is in essence an electric superbike – and from what we’ve seen so far, it’s a sophisticated bit of kit, with aggressive, sports-styling and a range of unique features.

The bike comes with KYMCO’s own FEP (Full Engagement Performance) electronics package, which includes launch control, rearwheel lift control, traction control, and various riding modes. It’s fairly well equipped with Brembo brakes, Öhlins suspension and a twin-spar aluminium frame. And, in a departure from typical electric bikes, it comes with a sixspeed gearbox and slipper clutch. KYMCO claims that its gears help to improve not only its efficiency and responsiveness, but also its acceleration and top speed.

As a result, KYMCO claims that the SuperNEX can go from 0 to 60mph in 2.9 seconds, from 0 to 125mph in 7.5 seconds and from 0 to 155mph in 10.9 seconds.
