RMK E2, The Finnish electric motor with a rear hub-free wheel motor
Very squared design and definitely not very graceful, but with some very respectable technical details and also technically very advanced.
The more you have, the more you put … a bit ‘the summary of the current situation in the field of electric motorcycles, a market to be discovered and developed where every small or large company can try to say his: in this case, we talk about the Finnish manufacturer RMK Vehicle Corporation and its model E2, a curious two-wheeler with the appearance of a prototype yet to be completed, the first specimens can already be booked and will be available during the next year.
Very squared and decidedly unassuming design, but with some very original technical details and also technically very advanced: first of all, the engine, not inserted in the frame like most of the motorcycles, electric or not, but integrated into the rear wheel without of the central hub.
A very futuristic effect not only the result of unrealizable rendering but a concrete engine and already in the last phase of testing; also interesting is the power solution of the ” driving wheel ” through cables that are well visible.
The manufacturer declares a top speed electronically limited to 160 km/h, the result of the 50 kW engine capable of delivering a torque of 320 Nm, all combined with a battery pack sufficient to guarantee a range of between 200 and 300 km with a single charge.

The pre-orders of the E2 model have already been opened, a contribution of €2,000 is requested for the reservation only and an additional €23,000 for the delivery of the vehicle: all in all a middle ground for the European market, obviously without too many demands for design and performance; For more images and details, please visit the page dedicated to the manufacturer RMK Vehicle Corporation.
