Choosing an electric motorcycle starts with your rides, not the spec sheet. How many kilometres a day? City streets or expressway? Alone or two-up? The Potensia range has three models, each built for a particular kind of riding. Here is how to tell them apart, with a full comparison table to check the numbers.
Mostly short trips around town: the F1
The F1 is the compact one. With a 133 cm wheelbase, the shortest of the three, it changes direction quickly in traffic and parks almost anywhere. Its 2000W rear hub motor takes it to 80 km/h, and its 2.16 kWh lithium battery gives up to 100 km of range.
It is made for:
- tight streets and errands around town;
- short to medium commutes;
- a first purchase, at the most affordable price in the range: 250,000 DA.
Worth knowing: a full charge takes 6 to 8 hours, against 5 to 6 hours for the other two. Plug it in in the evening and it is full by morning.
Long daily commutes, sometimes two-up: the Heroic Warrior III
The Heroic Warrior III is the range’s maxi-scooter, built for long daily commutes, even two-up. Its 3000W rear hub motor, the most powerful in the range, reaches 100 km/h, and its 3.6 kWh LiFePO₄ battery covers up to 120 km.
What makes the difference day to day:
- 14-inch wheels on a 145 cm wheelbase, for a settled, stable ride;
- a tall screen for wind protection, and a rear rack as standard;
- a full charge in 5 to 6 hours.
It costs 500,000 DA. It is the natural choice if you cross your city every day, from the outskirts to the centre for example, and want to be able to take someone with you.
Style on weekdays, escapes at the weekend: the T11
The T11 takes the Heroic Warrior III platform and dresses it for adventure: GT bodywork with red pinstripes, a tall, wide screen and a rear rack ready for a top case or daily bags. Same 3000W, same 100 km/h, same 120 km of range, same 5 to 6 hours to charge.
It is for riders who want a bike with real presence on the street during the week, and who like to get out of town at the weekend. It costs 400,000 DA.
The comparison at a glance
| F1 | Heroic Warrior III | T11 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear hub motor | 2000W | 3000W | 3000W |

| Full charge | 6–8 h | 5–6 h | 5–6 h |
| Price | 250,000 DA | 500,000 DA | 400,000 DA |
Range figures are maximums: real-world range depends on load, speed, temperature and terrain. Prices are the same at every Potensia location in Algeria. For more detail (wheelbase, tyres, colours), see our comparison page.
Heroic Warrior III or T11: how to decide?
On paper, these two are identical: same motor, same battery, same performance. What sets them apart:
- shape and purpose: the Heroic Warrior III is a maxi-scooter, designed for comfort on long daily commutes, even two-up. The T11 wears adventure-style GT bodywork;
- price: a 100,000 DA difference, in the T11’s favour;
- colours: five for the Heroic Warrior III (stone blue, white, silver, navy, black), four for the T11 (silver, white, navy, black).
The simplest way to choose is to ride them one after the other: the difference is easier to feel on the bike than to read on a spec sheet.
Three questions to choose your electric motorcycle
- How many kilometres a day, and where? If your daily ride fits comfortably within 100 km and stays mostly in town, the F1 and its 80 km/h are enough. If you ride a lot every day or often take fast roads, the 3000W, 100 km/h and 120 km of the Heroic Warrior III or T11 give you more margin.
- Alone or two-up? If you regularly ride with a passenger, the Heroic Warrior III is the model built for it.
- What budget? 250,000 DA for the F1, 400,000 DA for the T11, 500,000 DA for the Heroic Warrior III. Whichever you choose, the warranty is the same: 2 years on the whole bike, 3 years on the motor and battery.
The best comparison is a test ride
The surest way to choose is to ride. Book a test ride and tell us which model you have in mind: not every location displays all three, so we will confirm a date and a place where it is available.
