Zongshen has introduced a new 1.5-liter extended-range electric motorcycle. The Zongshen ES5 extended-range variant is a hybrid that delivers impressive performance. Its battery can support the bike for distances up to 300km.
Specifications and Performance
The new energy motorcycle from Zongshen is marketed under the Senlan Electric brand and features 60V 31Ah lithium batteries. The ES5 has a pure electric range of 70km, and its comprehensive range extends to about 300km. When the battery power is utilized, the minimum fuel consumption is 1.5L per 100km. The pure electric version of the ES5 is available with either two or three 60V 31Ah lithium battery packs, reaching a range of 180km with the three-battery setup.
Advanced Technology
Senlan Electric has introduced several innovations in recent years, including the launch of the Senlan extended-range technology platform C-REEV last month. This extended range design ensures worry-free endurance for vehicles like the ES5 by continuously charging the battery while driving or parked. This minimizes the waiting time for charging and extends the range. The ES5 offers both pure electric power for short distances and power generation for longer journeys.
Charging Options
The ES5 provides multiple charging modes to accommodate various usage scenarios. Charging via an ordinary household 220V outlet takes 2-3 hours to fully recharge a single battery, while a Car AC charging station with a 2200W fast charge can achieve full recharge in 40 minutes. The extended-range platform generates power with a minimum state-of-charge fuel consumption of 1.5L/100km, and the C-REEV power recovery mode offers continuous small amounts of power feedback.
Cost and Functionality
Equipped with the C-REEV, the ES5 requires a more conservative battery architecture, which translates to lower costs. Additionally, it offers a maximum external discharge of 1000W, effectively turning it into a large mobile power supply. Details on the release and pricing for the Zongshen extended-range ES5 motorcycles are anticipated soon.
