It’s hip, it’s cool, it’s eco-friendly, but it is also pricey. This is what best describes the latest vehicle offering from Icon, a Los Angeles automaker, which runs in two-wheels.
Icon’s E-Flyer, developed in concert with Silicon Valley–based Vintage Electric, is roundly retro—all WWI-era motordrome racer lines topped with a Brooks leather saddle and boosted by a thoroughly modern electric motor.
The rear-hub-mounted drive has two settings: a 750-watt mode for tooling around at 20 mph and (if you sign a waiver) a 3,500-watt mode that’ll let you zoom down country lanes at 35 mph. It takes two hours to charge, weighs 69 pounds, and has a range of about 30 miles. Just 50 E-Flyers will be built, and with a sticker price of five grand, this electrifying ride will also shock your wallet.
