For a long time, motorcycles have been synonymous with the open road, the roar of an engine, and the mechanical artistry that drives motorcyclists around all over the world. But as technology develops, electric bikes have become a really interesting substitute because of their efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.
Performance, maintenance, and riding experience are a few of the many considerations when deciding between a traditional motorbike and an electric bike. 
Performance and Riding Dynamics
Performance always starts the debate between conventional motorbikes and electric bikes. Internal combustion engines (ICE) run conventional motorcycles from single-cylinder models to high-performance multi-cylinder machines. These engines provide tremendous horsepower and torque, thus providing thrilling acceleration and top-end speed. For many riders, the unique sensory experience offered by the separate engine rumble and gear shift engagement is priceless.
On the other hand, most kinds of electric bikes run with battery-powered motors, therefore removing the need for gears. Acceleration, especially on high-end electric motorcycles, can be surprisingly quick because of the instant torque delivery. Electric bikes are appealing for urban commuters and riders looking for a new kind of excitement since they offer a smooth and near-silent ride unlike gasoline-powered bikes that call for revving and shifting.
For those considering making the switch, a wide selection of electric bikes can be found at e-bikesdirect.co.uk, offering models suited for both casual riders and experienced motorcyclists looking to explore this new frontier of mobility.
Maintenance and Long-Term Costs
Having a classic motorcycle comes with maintenance responsibilities that riders sometimes welcome as part of the ride. Internal combustion engines call for regular tuning, air filter replacements, spark plug inspections, and oil changes. The procedure also includes cleaning the fuel system, adjusting the clutch, and maintaining the chain. Although many riders appreciate the hands-on mechanical maintenance, these responsibilities add to ongoing expenses and effort.
Electric bikes significantly ease maintenance. Fewer moving components mean no fuel system to manage, no clutch or gearbox to maintain, and no oil changes. For owners of electric bikes, brake maintenance and battery condition are the most significant concerns. While battery degradation is something to consider over time, most electric bikes maintain their performance for years before needing a replacement thanks to modern lithium-ion technology. Traditional braking components last longer with regenerative braking since they don't wear out as quickly.
When it comes to operational expenses, electric bikes are the clear winner. With developments in charging infrastructure, range anxiety is becoming less of a concern as electricity is significantly less expensive than gasoline. Although electric bikes may have a higher sticker price, the money you'll save on gas and repairs over time more than makes up for it.
The Overall Riding Experience
There is no denying the emotional connection between rider and machine on traditional motorcycles. Many riders fall in love with motorcycling for the physical sensation of hearing an engine rev, feeling the vibrations through the handlebars, and engaging in precise gear shifts. Those who like the vintage riding experience often choose petrol-powered motorcycles for their long road excursions, which offer an element of adventure and nostalgia.
However, electric bikes have a different kind of appeal. Their near-silence operation creates a futuristic and effortless riding experience. Ideal for urban commuting where stop-and-go traffic can become tiresome on a traditional motorcycle, instant torque delivery ensures quick acceleration without the need for clutch control. The lack of noise also allows the rider to relax and enjoy the trip without being bombarded by engine noises, creating a more tranquil experience.
Although range is still limited for electric bikes relative to fuel-powered motorcycles, current developments are stretching the possibilities. As battery technology develops and charging networks grow, electric bikes become more practical for longer distances.
Making the Right Choice
In the end, intended use and personal taste define whether one chooses an electric bike or a traditional motorcycle. Those who value mechanical engagement, long-distance riding, and the classic motorcycling experience may want to stick to petrol-powered machines. Meanwhile, those who value efficiency, low maintenance, and cutting-edge technologies could find electric bikes more appealing.
Riding a motorcycle now gives greater flexibility than ever as the industry welcomes change. Whether you decide on the whisper-quiet efficiency of an electric bike or the deafening boom of an internal combustion engine, the road ahead is definitely as thrilling as ever.

Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, celebrated performance, style, and customisation at the Moto Bike Expo in Verona, Italy, by showcasing the ‘First 6’ customs based on the newly announced 2025 Indian Sport Chief RT. With a public vote to choose the best, the ‘First 6’ collection of Club Style customs has been crafted by select Indian Motorcycle dealers from around Europe, highlighting the artistry and ingenuity of the brand’s dealer network.
Building on the new Sport Chief RT’s aggressive style, attitude, and dynamic riding character, the six dealer builds bring unique designs, custom finishes, and creative interpretations to the RT’s performance cruiser roots.
For Ola Stenegärd, a renowned customiser and Director of Design for Indian Motorcycle, the ‘First 6’ is a passion project that links directly to a key principle of the factory design team – customising is key.
“When we’re designing, we’re always keeping customisers in our minds to ensure that the bikes we produce are as easy to work on as we can make them. The ‘First 6’ really is the fruit of that process and, as ever, I’m totally blown away by the results, especially with the really short time our dealers had to create these bikes from the sketches they presented during the selection process,” said Stenegärd. “The level of paintwork is next-level and the close-up details are off the wall. With every viewing you find something new on each build.”
Each dealer had just six weeks from the delivery of the base Indian Sport Chief RT to delivering a completed Club Style build to the Verona Show, proving they all have what it takes to impress under pressure.
With the high standard of the ‘First 6’ Sport Chief RT customs, the public vote to select a winner is set to be close. Voting is open until <DATE> with the winning bike will be announced during the Salon Du 2 Roues show in Lyon, France, February 13-16.

European 2025 PowerPlus Lineup Powered by the New PowerPlus 112 Engine
From the Track to the Street, Indian Motorcycle Introduces New PowerPlus 112 – the Engine that Powered the 2024 King of the Baggers Championship & Delivers Both High Horsepower & High Torque
Fork-Mounted Fairing Chieftain and Roadmaster Models Expand PowerPlus Family, Building on the Performance-Oriented, American V-Twin Style Originally Established with the Indian Challenger
Powered by its steadfast commitment to innovation and driving the V-Twin category forward, Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, has expanded its PowerPlus family with the 2025 Chieftain PowerPlus and Roadmaster PowerPlus. In addition, the company introduced a 112ci (1834 cc) version of its PowerPlus engine after two years of developing and refining it through the Indian Motorcycle Racing program en route to the team’s 2024 King of the Baggers championship.
As with the Indian Challenger and Indian Pursuit chassis-mounted fairing models, these new PowerPlus fork-mounted fairing models combine a classic muscular American V-Twin style with rider assist technologies never before offered in an American V-Twin motorcycle. Meanwhile, the new PowerPlus 112 engine expands on the unparalleled performance of its 108ci (1768 cc) predecessor – going beyond the power limitations of traditional V-Twin motors to deliver more consistent, sustainable power, with instant acceleration and effortlessly sustained high speeds within every gear throughout the range.
“More than a decade ago when we relaunched Indian Motorcycle, we made a commitment to innovation, just as our original founders did back in 1901. Innovation powered their success, and it is still driving us today; and the expansion of our family of performance-oriented PowerPlus models is a perfect example,” said Aaron Jax, Vice President, Indian Motorcycle. “From liquid-cooled motors and mono-shock rear suspension to the advent of modern performance baggers with the Indian Challenger, we were first to market in the V-Twin category with these advancements. It’s all part of our ongoing commitment to innovating with features and options that enhance the riding experience for our customers and for generations of riders to come.”
The new Chieftain PowerPlus and Roadmaster PowerPlus redefine the American V-Twin riding experience, featuring distinctive American style, next-generation performance, rider-centric technology, and comfort to go the distance.
STYLE
The new Chieftain PowerPlus and Roadmaster PowerPlus wear aggressive and chiseled lines that are a visual representation of their high-performance hearts. Their compact stance makes each model look smaller, lighter, nimbler and more athletic. The new fairing’s design is sleek and aerodynamic, offering improved handling and stability at high speeds to provide superior control when compared to previous Chieftain and Roadmaster models.
Adding to each bike’s design is a new LED headlight. Seamless integration of daytime running lights around its center creates a sophisticated signature to the distinctive front end. Chieftain PowerPlus and Roadmaster PowerPlus exhibit meticulous attention to design detail, showcasing craftsmanship and precision with iconic brand elements throughout.
PERFORMANCE
Indian Motorcycle’s PowerPlus engine is the only American liquid-cooled V-Twin that delivers the horsepower and torque that motorcycle enthusiasts crave. The PowerPlus represents the future American V-Twin performance, engineered with an innovative cooling system to deliver consistent power in all conditions.
New PowerPlus 112
Taking bagger and touring performance to an entirely new level is the PowerPlus 112 (1834 cc), unleashing 126 horsepower and 181.4 Nm. The contemporary design of the PowerPlus — a high revving, liquid-cooled engine with overhead cams and 4 valves per cylinder — delivers both high horsepower and high torque. This unique combination delivers an unmatched ride without sacrifices – optimizing acceleration across the rev range for unrivaled passing power in every gear. With the PowerPlus, riders don’t have to constantly shift to keep up, as with traditional push rod V-Twins. When in doubt, don’t shift, because the power is right there waiting. Just twist the throttle.
Prior to its launch, the PowerPlus 112 was tested and refined in the most demanding environment – racing. Powering the Indian Motorcycle factory race team, the PowerPlus 112 helped deliver the 2024 King of the Baggers championship. Now, for European markets, the same PowerPlus 112 is standard across the 2025 PowerPlus family, including Chieftain, Indian Challenger, Roadmaster, and Indian Pursuit.
Handling
Frame geometry and stiffness on the Chieftain PowerPlus and Roadmaster PowerPlus maximize power while enabling precise, nimble handling. Inverted front forks and radial-mounted Brembo® brakes are more prominently visible to exude modern performance while contributing to the bike’s confident ride experience.
TECHNOLOGY
For 2025, the PowerPlus lineup will debut a host of new Rider Assist features that are aimed at improving rider awareness and enhancing rider convenience. These new Rider Assist features will be bundled with previously offered SmartLean Technology and come standard with the PowerPlus 112 engine. This continued innovation from Indian Motorcycle delivers technology and features that create a more comfortable, and more confident riding experience. Details of the new Rider Assist features include:
– Bike Hold Control – Activated by the rider, this braking system automatically maintains brake pressure to prevent the bike from rolling while resting at an incline for up to three minutes.
– Electronic Combined Brake System – This new feature optimizes brake pressure across both front and rear circuits based on the rider’s brake input for balanced and efficient braking performance.
– Blind Spot Warning – The system alerts riders when a vehicle is detected in their rear blind spot with warnings across the RIDE COMMAND screen and light indicators on the side mirrors. Riders can customize notification preferences to suit their needs.
– Tailgate Warning – This warning system alerts riders when a vehicle is traveling too close for comfort behind the rider. Riders will be notified via the RIDE COMMAND screen and light indicators on the side mirrors. Riders can adjust notification mode and following distances to suit their preferences.
– Rear Collision Warning – This feature alerts rearward approaching vehicles via rear lighting when a potential collision is detected.
– Smart Lean Technology™ – This technology enhances the Anti-Lock Braking and Traction Control systems by tuning the performance based on the vehicle lean-angle and features dynamic traction control, cornering control and drag torque control.
Adding to each new model’s technology package is Indian Motorcycle’s 178 mm touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND offering system control right from the dash, bike information, customizable gauge screens, and Bluetooth® connectivity. With the factory-installed RIDE COMMAND+ Telecommunications Unit (TCU) featuring connectivity free for one year, the advanced infotainment system offers turn-by-turn GPS navigation, Apple CarPlay®, bike health, bike locator, intuitive destination search, and more**. The vehicle locator feature provides riders with an added sense of security by being able to see the location the bike was powered on via the RIDE COMMAND app or website.
Standard across the expanded PowerPlus family are three ride modes, cylinder deactivation and cruise control – allowing riders to tailor their ride and further increase performance and comfort. Keyless ignition, USB charging and remote-locking saddlebags offer convenience.
COMFORT
No matter the distance, Chieftain PowerPlus and Roadmaster PowerPlus riders and passengers will sit comfortably in the saddle. Each model’s new fork-mounted fairing design maximizes protection from the elements, while an adjustable windshield offers 100 mm of travel for personalized airflow management. A new rider cockpit design optimized for function with intuitive controls allows riders to keep their eyes on the road and indulge in their surroundings.
For touring riders, Roadmaster PowerPlus and Indian Pursuit offers convenient electronically adjustable rear suspension preload allowing riders to seamlessly adjust settings, when packing for the long haul or riding two-up, via the RIDE COMMAND screen. A stitched ClimaCommand Heated and Cooled Seat and Heated Grips are a luxury that spoil riders when in extreme weather conditions. The ClimaCommand Seat offers adjustable heating and cooling for both rider and passenger via integrated buttons with haptics or via the in-dash display powered by RIDE COMMAND.
Remote-locking saddlebags keep gear safe and dry on the road with over 68 litres of storage for Challenger and Chieftain PowerPlus while the Pursuit and Roadmaster PowerPlus, with their rear trunk, benefit from over 140 litres of storage.
ACCESSORIES
Launching alongside the 2025 PowerPlus family are a host of factory accessories and technology engineered to inspire personalization, add comfort, and even more technology.
Comfort
Personalized ergonomics are key to rider comfort. Indian Motorcycle offers several parts that allow riders to dial-in their fitment to their personal preference. For Indian Challenger and Indian Pursuit riders, Mitered Mid Ride Handlebars position the hand controls in a comfortable, elevated position, while also adding an aggressive, custom-inspired style. Available across the entire PowerPlus lineup are Rider Backrests, which increases support to the rider’s lower back and keep them in control mile after mile, and a 300 mm Flare® Windshield, which adds even more wind protection with an excellent view of the road ahead.
While standard on Roadmaster PowerPlus and Indian Pursuit, Chieftain PowerPlus and Indian Challenger riders can add even more comfort with the ClimaCommand Heated and Cooled Seat and Heated Grips. The ClimaCommand Seat offers adjustable heating and cooling for both rider and passenger via integrated buttons with haptics or via the RIDE COMMAND screen.
Technology
For riders seeking to elevate their experience further, options like an enhanced audio experience and an innovative Pathfinder Adaptive LED Headlight deliver advanced functionality and style. The Indian Motorcycle PowerBand Audio provides riders with an immersive listening experience that’s been expertly designed to cut through road, wind and throttle noise.
