Don’t sleep on this electric motorcycle deal from Solar Scooters! For the entire month of November, the Solar E-Clipse 2.0, a lightweight, nimble, and fast e-moto, will be discounted by a whopping $1000 during the company’s Black Friday sale, which includes its more powerful sibling, the Solar E-Clipse 2.0 Race Edition.

We’ve written about the Solar E-Clipse 2.0 before, and then later, we got to ride and review it (a long-term review of the bike is coming), and concluded that along with its weight being just 138 pounds, which makes it a good candidate for a beginner bike, it is also “ridiculously fun to ride” both on- and off-road.

“My experience with the E-Clipse 2.0 so far has been ridiculously fun, as it has loads of torque to get up and moving very quickly — even on steeper grades — and its top speed of 60-ish mph is plenty fast for a bike this size. It is capable of carrying a passenger, and it can be made road-legal and registered for street riding. The E-Clipse is also a nimble bike that handles well both on- and off-road, and it’s light enough to be able to be loaded in the back of a pickup (or even a large SUV maybe) to transport it for riding on trails or dirt tracks.”

The bike can be ordered with 19″ enduro-style tires for off-road hijinks, or 16″ SuperMoto tires for racing your friends from stoplight to stoplight commuting, and you can even mount those SuperMotos on lightweight “luxury” carbon fiber wheels and shave a whopping 33 pounds off of the weight of the Solar E-Clipse 2.0. The basic version has a a top speed of up to 60 mph from its 10kW (peak) motor, a 400A controller, a 72V 45Ah Li-ion battery, and a potential range of up to 70 miles per charge. An optional pannier-type locking storage system can also be added to the E-Clipse 2.0.

Regularly priced at $5995, the Black Friday sale discount brings the Solar E-Clipse down to just $4995, which is a great price for this road-legal e-moto. Or if you like it a little spicier, you can order the Race Edition, which has a top speed of 70 mph from its 16kW motor, and although it has the same battery as its sibling, it is outfitted with a 600A controller. The Race Edition is regularly priced at $6799, so the Black Friday discount brings the cost down to just $5799. And for readers of this site, you can also take $100 off your entire order with the code CLEANTECHNICA. To get the sale price, simply configure your bike, add it to your cart, and the $1000 discount will be automatically applied at checkout.
