How does it compare?
Speed
The Tork Kratos R maxes out at a respectable 105 km/h (65 mph).
Trailing behind is the Zero S with 115 km/h (71 mph), while the Energica Eva Ribelle rockets at 200 km/h (124 mph).
Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire meanwhile glides effortlessly at 177 km/h (110 mph), yet the real speed demon amongst them is the Lightning LS-218 tearing the tarmac at a whopping 350 km/h (218 mph).
For city slicking or a quick getaway, the Kratos R might seem a little tame in comparison, but truth be told, urban commuters will find it more than sufficient.
Range
Staring at ranges, the Tork Kratos R provides a decent punch with a 120 km (75 miles) single charge range.
The Zero S edges it quite neatly with 141 km (88 miles), but the Harley-Davidson LiveWire isn’t far behind, offering 152 km (95 miles) per charge. Going above and beyond is the Energica Eva Ribelle with an impressive 230 km (143 miles) while the Lightning LS-218 lags slightly with 160 km (99 miles) for such a power beast.
Clearly, the Kratos R might need a top-up a tad sooner than its competitors but ensures youre in the eco-friendly league.
Power
A melodious sweet spot in power delivery, the Tork Kratos R offers 9 kW (12 hp), quite modest compared to the Zero S’s 34 kW (46 hp).
Stepping it several notches higher, Harley-Davidson LiveWire generates a throaty 78 kW (105 hp) whereas the Energica Eva Ribelle roars with an astounding 107 kW (145 hp).
The tsunami of power comes from the Lightning LS-218 with a blistering 149 kW (200 hp). So, while the Kratos R gracefully waltzes the daily grind, others are philharmonic orchestras in full crescendo.
Charging Time
Charging could be a game-changer. The Tork Kratos R takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge. Not bad, but the Zero Ss 4.8 hours is closely matched.
The Energica Eva Ribelle surprises with its quick 3.5 hours for a full charge while Harley-Davidson LiveWire stands at around 60 minutes thanks to fast charging.
On the marathon end, the Lightning LS-218 charges in 2 hours with Level 2 charging, quite the runner’s up.
The Kratos R, therefore, charges like a soothing cup of tea - slowly but steadily.
Price
Finally, the monetary musings, the Tork Kratos R is priced quite competitively at $2,182 (£1683, €1958).
The Zero S starts higher at around $10,995 (£8,490, €9,950), riding up the scale.
