Three Modes, One Machine: My Week Riding the UTITCO MODEL 1-SR

Electric motorcycles aren’t just the future—they’re today’s revolution. The era of silent, high-performance mobility is here, and UTITCO Motor Corporation, a proudly Filipino-owned company, is at the forefront of this shift. With bold engineering and visionary design, UTITCO isn’t just challenging the norms of traditional motorcycling—they’re rewriting them. As they proudly declare: they Break the Norm—and the 1-SR is proof that innovation, style, and sustainability can ride side by side.

Utitco Motor has earned multiple accolades in recent years for its bold and innovative approach to electric motorcycling, consistently breaking away from conventional design and performance expectations. Their flagship model, the 1-SR, has become a standout in the EV community—not just for its sleek engineering and urban-ready power, but for how it redefines what electric two-wheelers can be.

With a growing number of units sold and a loyal rider base, the SR-1 is proof that Utitco’s vision resonates with a new generation of motorcyclists who value sustainability without sacrificing style or speed.

Introducing the newly updated UTITCO MODEL 1-SR—where SR stands for Street Race, and every curve, bolt, and burst of torque lives up to the name. This isn’t just an electric motorcycle. It’s a bold declaration that Filipino engineering can stand toe-to-toe with global giants—and win.

The MODEL 1-SR delivers blistering acceleration, sustained high-speed capability, and torque figures that rival or exceed many internal combustion engine (ICE) sport bikes. With a peak torque of 140 FT-LB and a top speed of 199kph, it doesn’t whisper performance—it screams it. And it does so without a drop of fuel.

This naked electric sports bike proves that electric power is no longer a compromise—it’s a competitive edge. It’s faster off the line, quieter on the streets, and smarter in every sense. With advanced tech, aggressive styling, and real-world range that stretches up to 200km, the 1-SR is built for riders who want more—from their machine and from their future.

What sets UTITCO apart is its commitment to blending performance, technology, and practicality. The 1-SR isn’t just fast—it’s smart. Riders enjoy features like dual TFT displays, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, dashcams, reverse assist, and NFC/RFID biometrics. These innovations aren’t just luxuries—they’re signs of a new standard in motorcycle design.

For one rider, a full week with the 1-SR revealed the truth: electric mobility has evolved. It’s faster, smarter, and more thrilling than ever.

Three Modes, One Machine

The UTITCO MODEL 1-SR offers three distinct riding modes—Eco, Cruise, and Sport—each tailored to different terrains and moods. It’s like owning three motorcycles in one.

Eco Mode: Ideal for city riding, offering whisper-quiet operation and a staggering 250km range on a single charge. With regenerative braking, keyless entry, and reverse assist, it turns urban congestion into a smooth glide.
Cruise Mode: A balanced setting for longer commutes, delivering speeds up to 142kph with composed handling.
Sport Mode: The full-throttle experience. With 140 FT-LB of torque, the 1-SR rockets past 150kph, sustaining speeds up to 170kph with cinematic flair and stability.

Electric Power That Lasts

The 1-SR is powered by an 84v100ah lithium battery, offering consistent performance across all modes. Charging is fast and flexible:

Under 3 hours with a 35A charger, Even faster with higher amperage options

And while ICE bikes still rely on fossil fuels and complex mechanical systems, the 1-SR offers instant torque, zero emissions, and dramatically lower maintenance. No oil changes. No engine heat. Just plug in, charge up, and ride.

Designed to Impress

Where the fuel tank once sat now lies a 25-liter storage compartment, perfect for gear, groceries, or a day’s essentials.

Shown here is the customizable rear section of the Utitco 1-SR electric motorcycle. Riders have the option to remove the 25-liter storage compartment for a sleeker, more aggressive profile—ideal for urban minimalists and sport-style enthusiasts. The setup also allows for the deletion of the secondary TFT display, streamlining the cockpit for a cleaner, race-inspired aesthetic. This flexibility reflects Utitco’s commitment to rider personalization, blending smart tech with bold design.

Under the seat of the Utitco 1-SR is a hidden storage compartment—perfect for small essentials like gloves, documents, or charging gear. Smart, sleek, and practical.

The aggressive frame, quad LED DRLs, and Italian leather saddle turn heads at every stoplight.

It’s not just a bike—it’s a tech-savvy, style-forward statement.
