Thoughts About The Hop OXO

The Hop OXO may look like a conventional motorcycle but with its promised 150 kilometers of range in Eco mode promises to be quite the VFM offering for those looking to make every watt hour count. Wether the claimed range holds up in the real world is something we'll only be able to confirm once we've ridden the bike, which we hope happens soon.
