The motorcycle uses a trellis frame and a cast aluminium swingarm in terms of chassis. Suspension duties are handled by USD forks at the front and a mono-shock at the rear. Given the performance, F77 features disc brakes at both ends paired with dual-channel ABS.
The company claims a single charge range of 200 km for the F77. Meanwhile, its performance levels will be on par with a 300cc ICE motorcycle. It is powered by a 25 kW electric motor which is capable of producing a peak torque of 90 Nm. The 0-60 km/h time is also claimed to be around 2.9 seconds.
