Tarform Makes the Right Electric Cafe Racer Motorcycle
Founded in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Tarform makes an electric motorcycle unlike anything else on the market. A trellis frame, 120 miles of range, and sustainable material construction make up the character of the hand-built motorcycle. Citing performance, Tarform has equipped the bike with adjustable Ohlins suspension, biting ISR brakes, and a Triumph Bonneville-like geometry. Take into account the performance hardware and the Tarform is by all accounts competitive with the neo-retro bikes flooding the two-wheel market. Those quick to disavow the mid-range power number must remember that the power is electric, thereby instant. By all metrics, this bike is something that carb-cleaning, kick-starting motorcyclists should love. Nonetheless, proving the cultural and worldly relevance of EVs has been an uphill battle, and the company knew it had to deliver something unique.
