Sunra UK endorse BikeTrac Lite

Sunra UK has announced a new collaboration with leading motorcycle and scooter tracking specialists, BikeTrac, endorsing the all-new BikeTrac Lite product for use and fitment on the entire Sunra EV range of models.

Launched last December, BikeTrac Lite offers a fit-and-forget tracking solution for smaller capacity or lower valued machines and like the regular full-feature BikeTrac device, enjoys Thatcham S7 rated security, offering owners greater protection against bike theft.

Announcing the endorsement and collaboration, Sunra UK’s Logan Black, commented, “As the Sunra range of models becomes more popular, we are keen to make sure that our customers have a range of services and products to keep them mobile. While our products do come with an alarm and a physical immobiliser function as standard, locking the rear wheel when unauthorised movement is detected, we’re mindful that bike thieves go to extreme lengths. With BikeTrac we are confident that we have a proven product and partner to offer our customers greater protection.”

As well as offering additional peace of mind to Sunra owners, the BikeTrac collaboration also provides insurance advantages too, with Sunra’s official insurance scheme provider, Lexham, providing up to 10% discount to owners of any model equipped with a BikeTrac unit.

BikeTrac’s Bill Taylor added, “We are delighted to gain endorsement from the Sunra UK team. Our BikeTrac Lite product has been developed for small capacity and lower valued machines, and so to have our product endorsed for EV use with Sunra is ideal. The lower draw rate of our products and the internal battery make it ideal for use on electric bikes and thanks to the small unit size, it can be easily installed in discrete locations on any of the Sunra lineup. We look forward to protecting many Sunra owners in the future.”

Sunra UK to maintain 2021 prices despite government U-turn

Sunra UK has today confirmed its intention to maintain its 2021 pricing structure until at least March 1st, 2022, despite the government’s announcement this week to significantly reduce the motorcycle plug-in grant with immediate effect.

Following the announcement, that impacts 50 and 125cc equivalent machines heavily, Sunra UK remains committed to providing its customers with a low-cost zero-emission solution to help reduce congestion in our already overcrowded cities.

Logan Black of Sunra UK commented, “Naturally we are very disappointed with the government’s decision to apply this change of grant to electrically powered two-wheelers. This announcement has been compounded by receiving no notice, leaving dealers and consumers confused.  Whilst there is a degree of logic in reducing the grant incentive for high value electric cars, applying the same constraints to entry level EV motorcycles, like those of the Sunra range,  appears to conflict with the grants original mission statement.

“We are however, committed to providing cost-effective, zero emission transport, and so we have decided to freeze recommended prices until at least the new registration change on March 1st 2022, subsidising the difference to make our products as accessible as possible to customers.”

Despite the government’s decision which has seen grants slashed from 20% of the pre-grant purchase price up to a maximum value of £1500 for all electric motorcycles, to 35% (max £150) on L1e Mopeds and 35% (Max £500) on L3e Scooters, the Sunra range remains competitively priced, starting at just £2199.

As ever, the Sunra UK team remains committed to bringing truly effective, two-wheel EV products to customers and will continue to monitor the market and government policies to remain proactive in the market and deliver customers the best possible value.
