Indian has taken a page from its cross-town rivals at Harley-Davidson and launched an ebike of their own! It’s called the eFTR Hooligan 1.2, and it’s already the flat-track inspired electric moped of your dreams.
Built as a collaboration between Indian Motorcycle and SUPER73, the eFTR Hooligan hopes to appeal to adventurers, fun-seekers, established motorcyclists, and the bike-curious by combining accessible thrills with affordable, eco-conscious transportation. Even better: there’s no motorcycle license required!
As a bike, the Indian eFTR Hooligan 1.2 takes a trusted electric powertrain and high-end suspension, braking, and frame components from SUPER73 and combines that with moto-inspired “flat track” styling from Indian Motorcycle. The look, we think, is successful in getting the message across without alienating new riders.
It Looks the Part
The official release for the Indian eFTR Hooligan 1.2 ebike references several premium electric bike features, including a lightweight aluminum chassis, 20 in. wire wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, and an inverted front fork. The bike’s 960-watt removable battery delivers more than 40 miles of range at 20 mph in throttle-only operation (no pedaling) and more than 75 miles of range when using ECO pedal assist mode. Top speeds is about 28 mph in the bike’s most aggressive mode, and riders can select from several ride modes via the SUPER73 mobile app to suit their local ebike laws.

I like it and I want it.
Where do we ride these? Do I get it licensed? Or is it a bicycle?
They’re technically bicycles, so you wouldn’t need a license in most states. Check your local DMV on bikes that go faster than 28 mph (I don’t believe these do.).
Is this available in Europe (Belgium)?
You’ll have to check with your local Indian dealer.
Will the bikes become available in South Africa? At the current exchange rate $4000 is around R65 000! Not a competitive price here at all.
So don’t buy it??
Can the battery be mounted on top for a more realistic look ?
I’m sure you can mount a battery wherever you want– would just take some fabrication.
