Pre-Order Now: Fuell Fllow Electric Motorcycle Priced at $9,995
Erik Buell, the founder of Buell Motorcycles, made headlines in 2019 when he unveiled his latest venture, Fuell, which focuses on electric motorcycles. During the announcement, he revealed that Fuell would commence the development of its inaugural electric motorcycle, the Fuell Fllow. Now, after a few years, Fuell is providing additional information about the Fllow and has officially started accepting pre-orders today.
The Fllow is a mid-sized motorcycle that claims the capacity of a bigger bike with 10 gallons of total storage space in addition to passenger space. It has 150 miles of urban range on a full charge and uses a CCS connector for charging. You can expect a full charge in about 30 minutes with a Level 2 charger and one and a half to two and a half hours with a standard home charger. In short, you’re looking at about eight hours when plugged into a standard 110/220V home outlet. While the bike’s standard CCS connector is widely available in North America, we’ve seen a recent uptick in major car brands adopting Tesla’s NACS connector—thankfully, adapters are common. The bike has a top speed of 85 miles per hour and a quick 0-60 MPH time of 3.5 seconds.
Buell says one of the main focuses of the Fuell brand is integrated and replaceable batteries. This technology would allow the possibility to replace some components as the technology develops in the future. The company calls it a “battery module” and allows components such as the charger, rear-wheel motor and quick-charge socket to be swapped out and upgraded over time.
Although Buell has a history with Harley-Davidson, Fuell is its own independent company, separate from the Buell Motorcycles brand. Founded in 1983, the brand operated for a decade before Harley-Davidson bought 49 percent of the company in 1993, followed by full ownership in 2003. In 2009, Harley-Davidson announced it was discontinuing the Buell product line. Although the brand has since been revived, Buell itself will focus exclusively on the Fuell going forward.
Harley-Davidson has not sat quietly on the sidelines either. The company’s LiveWire division announced its S2 Del Mar electric bike in early 2023. The bike has a range of 110 miles and a 0-60 MPH time of 3.1 seconds. While the S2 Del Mar has a faster 0-60 time, the Fuell has a longer range and a faster charge. Flow also prioritizes cargo capacity and modularity in its design.
The Fuell Flow is now available for pre-order for $9,995 with an MSRP of $12,995.
