Honda Introduces Kids Electric Motorcycle H onda and Greenger Power- sports have teamed up to produce Honda CRF-ES, an all- electric motorcycle for kids. Driven by a low-voltage (48-volt) BLDC electric motor with an inner rotor, the CRF-E2 produces a maximum output of 3.4 horsepower and 18.4 foot- pounds of torque. Its lithium-ion battery has a best-in-class range of approximately two hours in ideal conditions with a full charge. The battery can be fully charged in four hours, or two- and-a-half hours with the optional quick-charge system. With an available spare battery, it can be swapped out in seconds—a Greenger exclusive feature in this class. The CRF-E2 features a twin- spar aluminum frame, tapered aluminum handlebar, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes with petal-style rotors, adjustable aluminum brake levers and 12-inch aluminum wheels with Kenda Millville K771 knobby tires. Suspension components com- prise a 33mm telescopic hydrau- lic fork and a DNM shock with adjustable preload and rebound damping; front- and rear-wheel travel are 3.9 and 8.3 inches, re- spectively. Red plastic bodywork and blue-and-white graphics mimic those of full-size Honda dirt bikes like the CRF450R and CRF250R. With adjustable hand levers and the ability to alter seat height between 24.8 and 25.5 inches, the CRF-E2 physically accom- modates a range of riders weigh- ing 99 pounds or less. In addi- tion, maximum power output can be switched between two levels in order to adapt for varying skill and experience levels. Through this new collabora- tion, the CRF-E2 is available exclusively through American Honda's nationwide network of participating Powersports dealer- ships. MSRP is $2950. CN VOLUME 58 ISSUE 11 MARCH 15, 2022 P25 A collaboration with Greenger Powersports, Honda has introduced the electric-powered CRF-E2.
