Bike Find of the Day – The Lito Sora Electric Superbike
Without a clutch and generating incredible torque, the Lito Sora superbike also happens to be sort of, well, excellent looking.
Kind of a bobber on CAD steroids
On one of these babies, you can get from 0-125 miles-an-hour in a mind-blowing time, and sporting a full charge which lasts nearly 300 miles, this thing is more than a novelty item.
It’s not just that you can go 300 miles between charges, it also re-charges overnight, at least they say it only takes eight hours to a full charge.
