The Tacita electric motorcycle known as the T-Cruise is an Italian-built electric cruiser that pairs serious touring range with a hand-stitched leather saddle and Brembo brakes. Tacita has been building electric motorcycles since 2011, and the T-Cruise brings that experience to a comfortable long-distance cruiser developed by the company's Italian and American design team.
What is the Tacita T-Cruise?
The Tacita T-Cruise is a full-size electric cruiser designed to glide along in comfort over long distances. It was brought to life by Tacita's Italian and American team of designers, blending classic cruiser ergonomics with a modern electric powertrain. Among the small group of premium electric cruiser motorcycles on the market, the T-Cruise stands out for offering touring-grade range and a genuinely refined riding position.
How much power does the Tacita T-Cruise have?
The motor of the T-Cruise generates 30 kilowatts (40 horsepower) at 8,000 rpm and 70 Newton-meters (52 pound-feet) of torque. The T-Cruise features multiple power modes favoring economy or performance, plus a reverse gear that most gasoline-powered motorcycles do not have. The footpegs can be placed in three different positions for the best ride fit, and Tacita has taken the comfort part seriously by fitting a hand-stitched leather saddle that looks the part. The brakes are from Brembo, linked front and rear, with regenerative braking available to help recharge the battery as you slow down.
What range and battery options does the Tacita T-Cruise offer?
The T-Cruise comes with three battery options. The biggest battery is 27.5 kWh, providing a range of 168 miles for $27,999. The medium one is 15 kWh with a range of 93 miles at around $14,999, and the smallest version uses a 7.5 kWh pack for 50 miles, costing $10,999. Charging options for all battery sizes support standard 110 and 220-volt outlets, as well as a proprietary fast charger. For full details on the latest configurations you can consult the official Tacita Motorcycles site, while Electrek has covered the cruiser's manual gearbox option in depth.
