The Sulmi EB-ONE is the first e-motorbike entirely designed and built in the UAE
Sharjah Research, Technology, and Innovation Park (SRTIP) has launched the Sulmi EB-ONE, a cutting-edge electric motorcycle and the first market-ready product to emerge from SRTIP’s SoiLAB facility, the region’s largest state-of-the-art makerspace.
The unveiling marks a major milestone for the UAE’s sustainable transportation and mobility sector and a further step towards UAE’s clean energy goals in the run-up to COP28, in Dubai, in December.
The brainchild of Emirati start-up Sulmi, the EB-ONE was unveiled at a ceremony attended by SRTIP Chairperson Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi; the Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT), HE Omar Al Suwaidi; SRTIP CEO, Hussain Al Mahmoudi, officials, businesspeople, and media figures.
Although electric motorcycles have been around since 1895, they have never taken off at mass market level, which is why the Sulmi EB-ONE is so significant. It has sleek looks, is built to last, has a top speed of 150km/h and can cover 300km on a single charge. It also incorporates intelligent technologies for rider safety. It is designed and manufactured entirely in the UAE, making it a flagship of Emirati excellence and innovation, a press statement said.
“The launch of the EB-ONE is a proud moment for UAE entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovation within the country’s sustainable transport vision. I’m proud of the enormous strides we’re making at SRTIP through collaborations between government, private sector, and academia, which enrich Sharjah’s start-up ecosystem with changemaking opportunities,” commented Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi.
“To see an Emirati-designed and built concept come to life at SRTIP is a proud moment for everyone involved,” remarked Al Mahmoudi.
