Singapore's 1st electric motorcycle familiarisation course

Singapore's 1st electric motorcycle familiarisation course

ComfortDelGro Driving Centre is holding Singapore’s first electric motorcycle familiarisation course starting Feb. 8, 2023.

The course fee is S$50.

The three-hour session is targeted at motorcyclists who are considering buying an electric motorbike and have a valid Class 2A or 2B licence and are raring to try out e-motorcycles.

The course will cover both theory and practical training.

Motorcyclists will be introduced to how e-motorcycles operate, how they compare to internal combustion engine motorcycles, the benefits and risks, as well as battery management and charging guidelines.

Takes 90 minutes to charge up to 80%
The course ends at the circuit where motorcyclists get a first-hand e-motorcycle experience on two models: The G2 Quantum (Class 2B) and the Alrendo TS Bravo (Class 2A).

The G2 Quantum, which has a riding range of about 90km, has been provided by Quantum Mobility, a local start-up that is looking to start e-motorbike sales soon.

The Alrendo TS Bravo, which has already been retailing here, has a riding range of 278km.

Both e-motorbikes take about 90 minutes to charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent.

Electrification of vehicles & centre
Vincent Tan, CEO of ComfortDelGro Driving Centre: “ComfortDelGro Driving Centre has had, in June 2022, introduced the electric vehicle (EV) option for Class 3A licence learners."
