The CSC City Slicker: Who Rides an Electric Motorcycle?

Is the CSC City Slicker the perfect city commuter vehicle?

The CSC City Slicker is NOT an electric mountain bike that you can ride on single-track dirt trails. It is designed for city streets, and in this environment it has MANY advantages over any electric bicycle. (See this previous CSC blog post comparison with ebikes.)

The CSC City Slicker is NOT an electric sport bike that will out-accelerate a Porsche 911 (see the related blog post at Exhaust Notes.) But, then again, it doesn’t cost over $17,000.

So what is the “CSC City Slicker“? And who is it designed for?

The City Slicker is a fully-electric motorcycle. It is powered by a lithium-ion battery paired to an electric motor. Like other motorcycles, it has belt drive and front and rear suspension.

As the name suggests, the City Slicker is perfect for commuting, errands, and fun rides around town.

The City Slicker is fun to ride with wide 12-inch tires and plush suspension, front and rear. Safety is also a key feature with large, motorcycle-type front and rear disk brakes.

The bike has a lockable storage compartment (where the gas tank would be on a standard motorcycle.) The ignition and front fork are also lockable for security while parked.

The City Slicker is powered by a massive 3.2 kilowatt electric motor. (Compare this to tiny 500 to 750-watt motors on ebikes.) Top speed is 40 to 42 mph – depending on rider weight. This is ideal for commuting across town. Like any motorcycle, you can ride in the traffic lane of city streets and not hug the curb like a bicycle. The City Slicker is not intended for highway travel. This lower speed also allows the City Slicker to be registered as a “scooter” in many states – check your local regulations for licensing requirements.

In addition, the City Slicker is super safe on the roads with fenders, motorcycle-type LED turn signals, rear view mirrors, headlight and brake lights. You don’t have to add a flash light to the handlebars to ride home after dark, like on a bicycle. Other vehicles can see you from the sides, front and rear – AND you can see where you are going!

Riding range is dependent on speed – that is, higher speeds drain the battery faster.  There are two drive modes – Sport and Eco. Riding around town at 20 mph in Eco mode will give you an approximate 62-mile range. That is huge for an electric motorcycle! Riding faster at 37 mph will reduce the range to about 37 miles. All this translates to a “blended” range of 40 to 50 miles in normal fast and slow city driving – which is more than enough for commuting and running errands. The dash includes a battery level gauge as well as a speedometer, odometer, and trip odometer to track your riding.

The City Slicker has a huge 72-volt, 30-amp hour lithium ion battery that is recharged in 6 to 8 hours with standard 120-volts. (Compare this to ebikes with 48-volt batteries.) The electric motorcycle includes the deep-cycle battery charger. The battery is recharged simply by plugging the charger into a port on the side of the bike. The battery can also be removed in minutes for recharging – or to swap in a spare battery (also available from CSC.) The City Slicker also includes regenerative braking to boost battery life.
