Meanwhile, BMW G310R electric motorcycle design patent has been leaked online. Going by the reports, the design of the electric G310R is quite similar to its ICE counterpart, under the skin components are borrowed from the CE-04.
BMW has tweaked the G310R’s body thoroughly in order to fit the electric and mechanical equipment from the CE-04, and battery pack has been vertically stacked under the front section of the motorcycle, where most ICE bikes house the radiator.
The upcoming BMW electric G310R also borrows the ECU as well as the charger from the CE-04. The electric G310R is also said to be borrowing the electric motor from CE-04, thus, it could churn out 42 hp of maximum power and 62 Nm of peak torque, better than the power figures of the ICE G310R. Being an electric model, the BMW G 310 R Electric motorcycle will also have much less noise and vibrations.
Hence, it can be safely said that the upcoming BMW G310R electric motorcycle will not only be more powerful, but better in every other aspect from its ICE version, with a smooth and quiet ride, environment friendly and lower cost of operations. Nevertheless, the electric G310R will be dearer. The BMW CE-04 has a starting price of $11,795 (approx. INR 9.76 lakh) in US, and the BMW electric G310R is likely to cost similar. However, the India-spec TVS version might be priced much more affordably.
