The Jarv E is the result of a development project that combined practical hard enduro experience with modern electric drive technology. The focus was not on adapting an existing concept, but on creating a motorcycle that was designed from the outset for extreme technical terrain.
Developed from extreme enduro practice
The project was significantly influenced by Graham Jarvis, who contributed his decades of experience in hard enduro. Together with Austrian chassis and motorsport engineer David Freidinger, they created a motorcycle that is specifically designed for balance, traction, and controllable power delivery.
The frame geometry, weight distribution, and ergonomics were developed specifically for slow, technically demanding passages. The manufacturer refers to it as a true hard enduro and trial enduro geometry that was not derived from existing models.
Drive and battery
The electric motor delivers 50 hp (37 kW) as maximum peak power. No speed data is available. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via two chains and an intermediate shaft. There is no manually operated clutch; instead, the system works with an electronically controlled E Clutch.
The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 5.6 kWh. According to the manufacturer, up to five hours of riding time are possible in Eco mode. For racing use, a quick-change system is integrated, allowing the battery to be replaced in about 30 seconds. It takes around one and a half hours to fully charge an empty battery. The charging power is specified as 3.4 kW.
Chassis and weight
The chassis consists of a trellis frame in combination with an USD fork and a directly articulated central shock absorber. The compact design of the motor and battery has made it possible to incorporate a long, milled aluminum swing arm. The suspension elements are from the US manufacturer Sirris.
The ready-to-ride weight is stated as 95 kg, which is equivalent to around 209 lbs. This puts the Jarv E on a par with comparable combustion engine hard enduros.
Electronics and app control
A central element of the concept is the smartphone app. It can be used to select pre-programmed riding modes and customize numerous parameters. These include power output, the response of the E Clutch, and the regenerative braking system.
The app also provides real-time data such as speed, battery level, and engine temperature. According to the manufacturer, a special driving mode was tuned directly by Graham Jarvis.
Limited series and market launch
A Graham Jarvis Signature Edition limited to 100 units is planned for the start of production. Each vehicle is individually numbered. Production will take place entirely in Austria.
Production is scheduled to start in April 2026. Orders will be accepted online. The current price is €12,200 net, which is equivalent to approximately $13,400. Road approval is not currently available, but is being sought.
In addition to Europe, the US market is also planned. According to the manufacturer, production and final certification are still in preparation there.
Positioning in the current enduro environment
The launch of the Jarv E comes at a time when electric motorcycles are becoming increasingly accepted in off-road sports. It was recently announced that E motorcycles will be allowed to compete in the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo under the same sporting and technical rules as combustion engines. Whether and when the Jarv E will actually be used there remains to be seen.
