Sail Mode minimizes energy regeneration when the motorcycle slid without drawing gas. Dinamyc combines full acceleration mode with energy recycling.

Battery box is a major component in the chassis. The large size of the batteries also add weight to the bike significantly, heavier than gasoline motors and C650GT BMW C600 Sport.
