  "account": "The annual EICMA motorcycle show in Italy showcased a variety of electric motorcycles, all emphasizing affordability. Zero Motorcycles, marking its 20th anniversary, displayed Project Ventura, a street-ready supermoto-inspired eBike. Project Ventura promises 20kW of power, a 65mph top speed, and an estimated 75 miles of range, with a targeted price under $8,000. Zero also unveiled a new scooter, the LS3, boasting a 75mph top speed and a 93-mile range. Yamaha, a heavy contender in scooters, launched an electric version of its popular Nmax line, the Nmax E, featuring a 7.5kW motor and a 65-mile range. Another addition to Yamaha's lineup is the Xenter E, a battery-powered alternative to its high-wheel scooters. Swedish company ReBake, led by Karl Ytterborn, reintroduced its cargo-carrying electric vehicles under the ReBake brand. The Abler model, a nod to Cake's original designs, can reach 50mph with removable batteries and priced around €4,000. These electric motorcycles represent a move towards more accessible alternatives to traditional petrol-powered bikes, potentially marking a turning point in the electric motorcycle market.",
