New Zealand ’ s second home-grown e-motorcycle maker FTN Motion is seeing huge demand for its rather cool looking Streetdog . Sitting nicely in the moped class and standing out with its cafe racer inspired styling , the second release of FTN ’ s flagship Streetdog has seen bikes flying out the door when the allocation first opened to a bulging waitlist late last month . The limited production run has a small number of bikes still available at a special early bird price , which runs until July 15th , or until sold out , each bike is labelled with a unique production number and isavailable in a variety of colour customisations , says FTN GM Michel Roncara . The Streetdog is a moped-class e-motorcycle with a unique , classic cafe racer motorbike feel , characterised by state of the art , yet minimalist technology . It runs on a 3kW electric motor and has up to 80km of real-life range , with a top speed of 50km / h , a removable battery and huge storage capacity . The parts of the bike that would traditionally be made of fibreglass are constructed of a highly resilient and unique new hemp material , bound with resin , which is strong , safe and more sustainable . In terms of available colourways , FTN Motion are offering the Streetdog in an unheard of 28 different colours , stripes and seat colour combinations , including British Racing Green , Latte , Red , Gunmetal Grey , Baby Blue , Mustard and Vintage Mint . “ They are all individually made at FTN Motion ’ s workshop in Wellington , with as many components sourced as locally as possible . Handcrafted with an extremely detailed eye for aesthetics , function and performance , the Streetdog , which can be ridden on a standard car licence and does not require previous motorcycle experience to ride , is unlike any other vehicle in its class ,” says Roncara . Currently , a Streetdog can be secured with a refundable deposit , with the finished bikes ready to take to the streets in the first quarter of 2023 .
