At the heart of the 2020 Govecs E-Schwalbe scooter motorcycle, Govecs features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 5.4 HP (3.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 54 Nm (39.8 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the E-Schwalbe measures 135 kg (298 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.04 HP/kg (25 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams.
