Key Features
1200W Bosch High-Efficiency Motor
The Bosch-developed electric motor is designed for efficient, quiet, and responsive local riding. Electric power is delivered smoothly from a stop, making operation simple for riders who prefer not to manage a clutch or gears.
Removable 60V Lithium Battery
The portable lithium battery can be removed for charging where appropriate. This is especially useful for riders who park away from a power outlet. Use only the supplied or manufacturer-approved charger and follow the battery storage instructions in the owner’s manual.
Up to 75 Miles of Manufacturer-Listed Range
Lifan lists a maximum range of up to 75 miles under favorable conditions. Actual range changes with rider and cargo weight, speed, temperature, hills, wind, tire pressure, battery age, stop-and-go use, and charging habits.
LCD Rider Display
The backlit LCD dashboard presents key information such as speed, mileage, and remaining battery capacity in a clear format for everyday use.
Low-Maintenance Electric Operation
The E3 does not require gasoline, spark plugs, carburetor service, or engine oil changes. Tires, brakes, suspension, fasteners, electrical connections, and the battery still require inspection and normal maintenance.
