How does it compare?
Speed
The EMoS WYLD tops out at a modest 50 mph (80 km/h), geared more for urban jaunts than shredding tarmac. The Zero FX, on the other hand, flexes a 70 mph (112 km/h) top speed, which is great for those who’re eager to blend highway and street riding. But if you think thats something, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire will blast your helmet off with a ferocious 95 mph (153 km/h). Not far behind, the Lightning Strike zips up to 90 mph (145 km/h), while the BMW C Evolution caps this speedy contest at a more measured 80 mph (129 km/h).
Range
Switching gears to range, the EMoS WYLD delivers a respectable 60 miles (97 km), making it a fine companion for daily commutes. In comparison, the Zero FX dashes ahead with its 91 miles (146 km) range. Yet it’s the Harley-Davidson LiveWire that can take you a magnificent 146 miles (235 km) on a single zap, undeniably a trump card. For middle-grounders, the Lightning Strike offers 100 miles (160 km) while the BMW C Evolution brings in a solid 99 miles (159 km), making them robust all-rounders.
Power
Let’s talk power; the EMoS WYLD doesn’t play in the epic horsepower league, offering around 3.1 kW (approximately 4.2 hp). Considerably mightier, the Zero FX packs 27 kW (approx. 36 hp), and then there’s the Harley-Davidson LiveWire, roaring with 78 kW (105 hp) — a veritable beast. The Lightning Strike is no slacker either, cranking out 90 hp (approximately 67 kW), and our stately BMW C Evolution sits comfortably at 35 kW (48 hp).
Charging Time
Charging times are another battleground. The EMoS WYLD takes a leisurely 6-8 hours for a full charge. Not too speedy. The Zero FX achieves a full charge in about 2 hours, thanks to its standard charger. The Harley-Davidson LiveWire again flexes its muscles with a rapid one-hour DC fast charge capability. The Lightning Strike balances things out with a 2-3 hour charge time, while the BMW C Evolution offers flexibility with a 3-hour recharge using its fast charger.
Price
Affordability is where EMoS WYLD crushes it, with a jaw-dropping price tag of $2,100 (about £1,650 or €1,940). Moving up the ladder, the Zero FX clocks in around $8,995 (£7,065/€8,170). The posh Harley-Davidson LiveWire? A cool $29,799 (£23,400/€27,035). And the Lightning Strike sits at about $12,998 (£10,200/€11,800). Our distinguished BMW C Evolution lands around $13,750 (£10,780/€12,470).
In this bout of electrified magnificence, the EMoS WYLD stands out for the economically sensible, urban commuter. Each contender brings distinct strengths to the table, leaving the choice of mount to your tastes and wallet.
