The dry weight of the motorcycle without fuel is 130 kg. The suspension travel of the front and rear of the motorcycle is 120 mm and 100 mm, respectively. The dimensions of the motorcycle are 2090 mm in length, 800 mm in width and 1020 mm in height. The distance between the axes of the front and rear wheels, or the base, is 1430 mm.
The electric IZH-49 offers comfortable handling and ergonomic design. With its top speed of 95 km/h and a range of up to 100 km, it is ideal for city trips and everyday use.
In addition, Kalashnikov announced the release of a limited collection of collectible motorcycles under the IZH brand. This series will include historical replicas of motorcycles produced from 1951 to 1990 at the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant, as well as unique experimental models and modern developments of Kalashnikov, including an electric Café Racer bike and modifications of the IZH Pulsar electric motorcycle.
