Pursang starts deliveries
By Ben Purvis
It was back in 2018 that reborn Spanish company Pursang first revealed an electric concept bike at EICMA, and after more than two years, deliveries of the resulting production model have now started.
Pursang's first model is the E-Track, which slots into the learner-legal 'A1' licence category with a rated power of 11 kW from a Bosch motor and a trio of 2.4 kW, 48V lithium-ion batteries. Together they add up to a top speed of 110 km/h (68 mph) and a maximum range of 140 km (87 miles), although the latter will only be reached in the bike's energy-saving 'Go' mode. Switch to the 'Cruise' setting for a bit more performance and range drops to 115 km (71 miles), while if you want to get the most out of the motor, 'Boost' mode adds power at the cost of an 80 km (50 mile) range. The bike also offers a 'Crawl' mode, allowing it to travel at walking speed either forwards or backwards to help manoeuvre into garages or parking spots.
The bike's weight, at 147 kg, matches its lightweight looks, but the price will also leave your wallet feeling significantly slimmer; the base cost is € 13,700, which puts the Pursang E-Track into the same market as some pretty serious competition, not least the newly-launched Zero FXE, which promises more range and speed at a lower price. Versions like the limited edition Pursang Dome (seen here) will cost more still.
