The 6061 that I want to introduce to you this time is even more eye-catching in terms of performance data and other aspects. Why would 6061 be chosen for the motorcycle name? EVOKE explained that it was named because of the use of two pieces of T6061 aluminum alloy as the frame structure, and the rear swingarm is also made of aluminum alloy.
The 6061 body adopts an American cruising style, and the front suspension adopts a fully adjustable inverted front fork with a diameter of 54mm. Although the rear suspension is a common dual-gun rear shock configuration for American motorcycles, it is also a fully adjustable bottle-hanging style. Emphasizes the strong meaning of excellent performance.
The most important components for electric vehicles-batteries, motors, and controllers, etc., EVOKE are installed on the inside of two aluminum alloy frames as much as possible to deploy simple body lines.
Power unit part, 6061 18650 battery pack (capacity 24.8kWh) as an electric energy storage medium, supplemented by a self-developed water-cooled electric motor with a maximum horsepower of 160hp and a maximum torque of 271Nm, resulting in a maximum speed of 230km/h. Power data with a maximum cruising range of 480km (city), and as long as it is charged through a DC charging pile, it can be charged from 0% to 80% in as fast as 15 minutes.
Of course, if you want to keep the above equipment in your hands, you still have to pay a price. The suggested selling price of 6061 in the United States is US$24,999 (about 707,000 NT dollars), although Bihari Lifewire’s 29,799 (about 842,000 NT dollars) is recommended for sale. The price is relatively cheaper, but it should still not be one of the knight’s choices when buying a vehicle at this stage.
