Launching this month, the new Tarform Vera heralds a new era of both urban and off-road electric motorcycle adventures.
Electric motorcycles have really come a long way and with the newest models hitting the street, it’s easy to see how these battery-run demons have evolved from something bikers might snicker at, to something that leaves conventional bikes in their dust.

The newest arrival is the Tarform Vera which, following the success of the Tarform Luna, a luxury electric motorcycle that set new standards in design and sustainability, is an all-round street and scrambler motorcycle, offering an exhilarating performance. Designed as a mass production bike, the Vera can whip up to 100 km/ph in just 3.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 135 km/ph mph, making it an ideal commuter and city ride. The electric motorcycle boasts a range of 160 km while maintaining a profile that weighs in the same as a colt prop.
Designed to cater to both urban riders and weekend trail enthusiasts, the aluminium-framed Vera marks a significant milestone in Tarform’s mission to redefine mobility with a blend of performance, design, and environmental stewardship. It’s also equipped with world-class components, including standard Brembo brakes and an optional Ohlins suspension upgrade, along with 17-inch aluminium wheels for both front and rear.

With a direct-drive system, the Vera eliminates the need for a gearbox, offering a seamless riding experience and plenty of sweet torque. The new arrival continues Tarform’s commitment to modular design, allowing for the battery and motor to be upgraded as technology advances, thereby extending the motorcycle’s lifespan and reducing waste.
In addition to cutting-edge performance, the Vera is equipped with over-the-air (OTA) updates and connectivity features, including Bluetooth and 4G for health monitoring, remote updates, and access to statistics through the Tarform mobile app.

True to Tarform’s ethos, Vera prioritises sustainability. Its top body panel is crafted from plant-based composites, and the seat upholstery is made from a bio-based alternative to vinyl, reducing the use of toxic materials and waste and ensuring additional bragging rights over its petrol-head competitors.
