A core of the electric motorcycle includes a monocoque that partially encloses a housing for a motor and gearbox. Separate suspension mounts attach to the core, which permits them to be exchanged for other mounts to provide different suspension geometries. A power electronics unit attaches to the front of the monocoque. The shape of the monocoque allows for the proper positioning of the center of gravity of the motorcycle in order to provide a balanced ride.

A motorcycle, or saddle type vehicle, is disclosed that may have at least one seat and at least two wheels, at least one hub electric motor. A large dry storage compartment may be positioned between the rider and steering mount. A rechargeable battery and battery management system may be located below the storage compartment in a battery housing, where the battery housing may be a structural component of the chassis. A rear electronics housing may be attached to and located behind the battery housing, and may contain major electrical components such as electric motor controller and contactors. Two structural members, or frame side rails, may form sides of the storage compartment and extend between the electronics housing and steering mount. The electronics housing may also connect to the battery housing such that the battery housing reinforces and strengthens the chassis, or structural frame. A secondary storage compartment may be located under the seat. Additionally, the storage compartments may have electronic locking mechanisms that are activated via a wireless connection to a remote electronic device. The rear suspension may include a swingarm on one side of the vehicle.
