China’s Horwin is coming to America and aiming to make a splash at CES. As part of this effort, they’ll be showcasing a trio of electric motorcycles.
The first is the $16,800 Senmenti 0, which is billed as a sporty and versatile urban adventure bike. Horwin didn’t go into many specifics, but the model features angular lines and distinctive lighting units.
The bike measures 84.4 inches (2,144 mm) long and has a seat height of 31.2 inches (792 mm). The model also comes with an AI-powered advanced riding assistance system, which is “designed to increase personalization as the system collects data to understand the rider, preventing accidents and enhancing rider protection and confidence.”

Speaking of safety, the bike has adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and front / rear collision warning systems. Other highlights include automatic high beams, a 360-degree vision system, hill descent control, and lane detection technology. The company also mentioned uphill assistance and a Sentry mode.
The 507 lbs (230 kg) bike is powered by a 16.9 kWh battery, which provides 186 miles (299 km) of range. It feeds an electric motor developing 99 hp (74 kW / 101 PS) and 659 lb-ft (894 Nm) of torque. This setup enables the bike to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h). The company also said it can go from a 0-80% charge in as little as 30 minutes with a DC fast charger.
The bike is currently available for pre-order and U.S. deliveries are slated to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
The model will be followed by the Senmenti X in 2025, which is being previewed by a similarly named concept. It’s a “Hyper GT” that is designed to be the “ultimate performance touring motorcycle.”
Looking like something from a Tron film, the concept has illuminated wheels and a futuristic fairing. The company didn’t say much about the bike, but we can see X-shaped lighting units, a simulated engine, and a sizable seat.
The bike is equipped with a 25.9 kWh battery pack, which provides an estimated range of 250+ miles (402 km) in the WLTP cycle. The concept also sports a 99 hp (74 kW / 101 PS) motor, which enables the bike to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in less than four seconds.
Last but not least, the Senmenti 11 is slated to arrive in 2026. It’s being previewed by a minimalist concept that features vertical lighting units as well as split rear wheels. The bike also has “variable body covers in different styles,” which you can presumably swap out.
Horwin CEO Wendsor Zhou Wei said, “We’re thrilled to introduce Horwin and tell our story to new audiences” as the “U.S. is obviously a critical sales market for any EV company.” He added, “We look forward to showing riders, from performance enthusiasts to first-timers, all the advantages of riding an electric motorcycle.”
