Sherco’s premium ‘Factory’ model classification has now expanded from the enduro to the electric balance bike ranks courtesy of a new kid on the block – the EB16 Factory.
Compared to the EB16, the EB16 Factory now provides a higher-spec alternative with a more powerful brushless motor, three-speed modes, a rear disc brake, front suspension, a more aggressive tire tread pattern, and styling updates – while still nurturing the fundamentals of motorcycling such as hand-eye coordination, balance, and alertness.
Of course, the EB16 Factory continues the fun, silent, and environmentally friendly profile of its siblings. It also has a simple twist-and-go throttle, a running time of up to 60 minutes, and the option of a non-powered mode for kids to push, balance, and coast before activating the brushless motor.
Like its siblings, the EB16 Factory features a battery-level display and a host of safety features to inspire confidence in the rider and the supervising adult.
Running time is up to 60 minutes of constant use, and recharge time is up to three hours. An additional battery is available for a quick and convenient swap to keep the fun times rolling (runtime will vary depending on the speed setting, rider weight, and riding conditions).
Technical highlights include a lightweight aluminum frame and handlebar, chain drive, pneumatic all-terrain rubber tires, and durable water-transfer frame decals. The EB16 Factory comes with an Australian 240V household charger, owner’s manual, and toolkit.
Additional features include a front plate with number decals, a height-adjustable seat, a fully enclosed chain cover, and a power cut-off switch built into the brake lever, automatically cutting power if the rider pulls in the lever, thus preventing a panic throttle twist.
