Abstract
A core of the electric motorcycle includes a monocoque that partially encloses a housing for a motor and gearbox. Separate suspension mounts attach to the core, which permits them to be exchanged for other mounts to provide different suspension geometries. A power electronics unit attaches to the front of the monocoque. The shape of the monocoque allows for the proper positioning of the center of gravity of the motorcycle in order to provide a balanced ride.
