2021
2021
The Horwin CR6 Pro, released in 2021, represents Horwin's entry into the burgeoning electric motorcycle market. This model aims to provide an accessible and stylish alternative to traditional gasoline-powered bikes, competing directly with models like the Super Soco TC Max in the lightweight electric motorcycle segment. With its retro-inspired design and focus on urban usability, the CR6 Pro targets riders seeking an eco-friendly and convenient mode of transportation.
Powering the Horwin CR6 Pro is an electric motor producing a peak of 14.8 HP (10.8 kW), giving it sufficient punch for its intended purpose. The motor generates a maximum torque of 30.3 Nm (3.1 kgf-m or 22.3 ft.lbs), which offers quick acceleration from a standstill, useful for navigating urban traffic. The CR6 Pro achieves a top speed of 105.0 km/h (65.2 mph), making it suitable for most in-town riding scenarios. The bike's weight is 137.0 kg (302.0 pounds), which contributes to its nimble handling.
The Horwin CR6 Pro provides a relatively upright riding position, typical of many standard motorcycles. While not track-focused, the ergonomics prioritize comfort for daily use. The seat height is 870 mm (34.3 inches), which may be a consideration for shorter riders, as it is the lowest setting; some may find it a bit tall. The suspension is tuned to absorb bumps and imperfections in the road, providing a reasonably smooth ride quality, though extended rides might reveal its limitations compared to more premium offerings.
The Horwin CR6 Pro is aimed towards urban commuters, environmentally conscious riders, and those new to motorcycling, looking for an easy-to-manage and cost-effective entry point into the world of two wheels. Its electric powertrain offers silent operation and reduced running costs. The CR6 Pro is a viable option for those who prioritize practicality and sustainability over outright performance, representing a solid step towards electric mobility.
