"WTF?!" Mode? This Electric Motorcycle Has Me Saying Exactly That!

Recently, I stumbled upon something truly... interesting. It's an electric motorcycle that seems to have been designed by someone who watched a bit too much Tron and then raided a Hot Topic store. I shouldn't be judging, though… I once wore Crocs to a car show.
This, my friends, is the Land Moto Super District. And yes, it's as extra as the name suggests. This limited-edition electric motorcycle (only 21 are being made!) hails from Cleveland, Ohio, and it's basically the rebellious teenager of the electric motorcycle world. It's got the looks, the attitude, and apparently, the performance to match.

The Super District is very much a futuristic, retro-inspired supermoto. Picture a cyberpunk biker cruising through a neon-lit city, and you're in the same postcode.
But what really caught my eye (besides the "Super District" plastered on the side in bold letters) is the "WTF Mode." Aha. WTF Mode. Apparently, this magical little button boosts the bike's power and torque by 10%. Land Moto doesn't exactly give us hard numbers for the Super District, but the standard District boasts a peak power of 23 horsepower and a whopping 260 pound-feet of torque. So, with WTF Mode engaged, we're looking at around 25 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Not too shabby for something that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie.
And to handle all that extra oomph, Land Moto has added a set of Michelin Pilot Street 2 tires. Because, you know, safety first (even when you're in WTF Mode).

The Super District is all about that urban chic aesthetic. It's got eye-catching graphics, a high fender, and handguards as standard. So it's more of a rebellious teenager who still remembers to wear their helmet.
As you probably expect by now, all this coolness comes at a price. The standard Land Moto District will set you back around $7,000. But the limited-edition Super District? That'll be a steep $9,500. Ouch. I knew all that exclusivity wasn't going to be cheap.
I actually kind of like it. It's different, it's quirky, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. In a world of serious electric motorcycles trying to save the planet, the Super District is just here to have a good time. And honestly, I can respect that.
So, will the Super District and its less-extra sibling, the standard District, define the "small-displacement" segment in the electric motorcycle world? I don't know, but who does? They're certainly shaking things up, and that's always a good thing.
