Abstract

An electric motorcycle includes a housing for housing an electric motor and/or a transmission. The housing is positioned at the center of the electric motorcycle in a front view. An internal cooling device and/or an electronic component and two cooling elements extend outward from opposite sides of the housing. Exterior cooling ribs are arranged on the cooling elements. The cooling ribs extend in the longitudinal direction of the electric motorcycle, such that the cooling elements and the cooling ribs are directly in contact with the air surrounding the electric motorcycle. The cooling device and/or the electronic component is, at least in portions, housed in and thermally connected to at least one of the cooling elements.
