SUNRA HAWK Electric Motorcycle Review Philippines: Price, Range, Durability, Economy and Design

As an electric vehicle critic who has spent considerable time studying the growing electric motorcycle market, I have become increasingly interested in models that try to balance affordability, practicality, and everyday usability. One motorcycle that deserves attention in the Philippine market is the SUNRA HAWK electric motorcycle.

The SUNRA HAWK is not positioned as a high-performance electric motorcycle designed to compete with premium electric bikes. Instead, it is a relatively affordable electric moped aimed at urban commuters who want a practical alternative to a gasoline-powered motorcycle.

As of September 2026, Philippine motorcycle listings put the SUNRA HAWK price at around ₱68,000, making it one of the more affordable SUNRA electric motorcycles currently listed in the country.

But is the SUNRA HAWK actually worth buying?

In this review, I will look at its price, design, performance, battery, range, durability, maintenance, running economy, comfort, safety, and practicality for Filipino riders.

SUNRA HAWK Price in the Philippines

The first thing that caught my attention about the SUNRA HAWK is its price.

Current Philippine listings show the SUNRA HAWK at approximately ₱68,000 SRP. Financing offers vary, with one listing showing a down payment of ₱13,600 and an estimated monthly payment of ₱1,765 for 36 months. These financing figures are not necessarily the final amount a buyer will pay because dealer terms, interest, insurance, registration, and promotions can change.

At around ₱68,000, the Hawk sits in an interesting part of the Philippine motorcycle market.

It is inexpensive enough to attract buyers who are considering an electric motorcycle for commuting, but it is also priced close enough to some entry-level gasoline motorcycles that the buyer has to think about the long-term economics rather than simply the purchase price.

For me, that is the most important question:

Are the savings in fuel and maintenance enough to justify choosing the electric Hawk?

For someone who rides primarily within the city and has convenient access to electricity at home, the answer can be significantly different from someone who regularly makes long-distance trips.

SUNRA HAWK Design: Modern Electric Moped Appearance

From a design perspective, I think the SUNRA HAWK has a strong advantage.

It doesn't look like a traditional bicycle-style electric vehicle. Instead, it has the proportions and visual presence of a proper scooter or moped.

The published dimensions are approximately 1,900 mm long, 730 mm wide, and 1,100 mm high, with a 1,380-mm wheelbase and seating for two.

That gives the Hawk a reasonably substantial road presence.

I particularly like the combination of its large body, relatively wide tires, digital instrumentation, LED lighting, and conventional motorcycle-style seating. The current specification listing also identifies 12-inch wheels, with a 110/70 R12 front tire and 120/70 R12 rear tire.

The design isn't radically futuristic. Personally, I think that's a good thing.

Electric motorcycles don't necessarily need to look strange or experimental. The Hawk looks sufficiently familiar that someone accustomed to conventional scooters should have little difficulty adapting to its appearance.

SUNRA HAWK Motor and Performance

The SUNRA HAWK is intended primarily for urban transportation.

Current Philippine specifications list a top speed of approximately 45 km/h, while the drive system is automatic and uses belt drive.

Older Philippine review material, however, identified an 1800W brushless DC motor, a 72V 20Ah lithium battery, and a claimed 65-km range under specific testing conditions.

This difference is important.

I would not assume that every SUNRA HAWK sold in the Philippines has exactly the same battery and motor specification. Listings and model-year specifications can change. One current specification source lists a 72V 26Ah battery and approximately 70 km city range, while older material lists 72V 20Ah and 65 km.

Therefore, if I were buying one, I would personally ask the dealer to show me the exact battery label and specification of the unit being sold.

That is much more useful than relying only on a generic advertisement.

SUNRA HAWK Range: How Far Can It Really Go?

Range is one of the biggest questions surrounding any electric motorcycle.

The current Philippine listing gives the Hawk a claimed city range of around 70 km, while an older Philippine review reported approximately 65 km with one rider weighing about 70 kg.

But I always advise readers not to treat the advertised maximum range as a guaranteed everyday distance.

Real-world range can be affected by:

• Rider weight
• Passenger weight
• Riding speed
• Frequent acceleration
• Hills and inclines
• Tire pressure
• Road surface
• Traffic
• Temperature
• Battery age
• Battery condition
• Use of electrical accessories

If the manufacturer claims around 65–70 km, I would personally plan my daily trips with a safety margin rather than deliberately running the battery close to zero.

For example, if my normal commute were 25 km each way, I would not automatically assume that a 65–70 km claimed range means the Hawk is suitable for a 50-km round trip every day without charging.

For city riding, however, the range is potentially adequate for many short daily commutes.

Battery and Charging

Battery technology is arguably more important than motor power when evaluating an electric motorcycle.

The current listing identifies the Hawk's battery as 72V 26Ah, while older Philippine material describes a 72V 20Ah portable lithium battery and approximately four hours of charging time.

Again, buyers should confirm the exact specification of their particular unit.

The removable-battery concept mentioned in older Philippine material is particularly interesting for people who live in apartments, rented houses, or locations where parking isn't directly beside a convenient electrical outlet.

That said, battery durability depends heavily on how the battery is treated.

I would pay attention to proper charging practices, storage conditions, temperature, and avoiding unnecessary deep discharges. A lithium battery is not simply a consumable equivalent to gasoline; replacing a battery can represent a significant percentage of the motorcycle's purchase price.

SUNRA HAWK Economy: Can It Save Money?

This is where electric motorcycles become particularly interesting.

The Hawk does not need gasoline, engine oil, spark plugs, oil filters, or many of the mechanical components associated with a conventional internal-combustion motorcycle.

Electric motors also have considerably fewer moving parts than gasoline engines.

For an owner who rides frequently, the potential savings can become meaningful.

The actual electricity cost depends on local electricity rates and how efficiently the motorcycle uses energy. It also depends on riding style.

In my view, the biggest economic advantage of the Hawk is not that charging is completely free—it isn't. The advantage is that the energy cost per kilometer can potentially be much lower than buying gasoline for equivalent urban transportation.

However, I would not make the mistake of saying an electric motorcycle has zero maintenance.

You still have tires, brakes, suspension components, bearings, electrical components, lights, and other parts that eventually require inspection or replacement.

The battery is also an important long-term ownership consideration.

SUNRA HAWK Durability and Build Quality

When someone asks me whether an inexpensive electric motorcycle is durable, I don't answer simply by looking at the body panels.

Durability is a combination of:

Frame + suspension + motor + battery + electronics + parts availability + after-sales support.

The current specification lists a steel body frame, hydraulic front and rear suspension, front disc braking, and rear drum braking.

Those specifications make sense for a city-oriented moped.

The hydraulic suspension is especially relevant for Philippine roads, where potholes, uneven pavement, road repairs, and speed bumps are common.

But I would be careful about making a long-term durability claim based solely on specifications. A motorcycle can have good hardware on paper while still becoming difficult to own if replacement parts or technical support are difficult to obtain.

This is one area where I would strongly encourage prospective buyers to investigate the local dealer and parts situation before paying.

Brakes and Safety

The Hawk uses a front disc brake and rear drum brake according to the current specification listing.

It also includes features such as LED lighting, digital instrumentation, side reflectors, and other listed safety equipment.

For a 45-km/h-class urban electric motorcycle, this basic braking arrangement is understandable.

However, I would not evaluate motorcycle safety purely by counting features.

Proper tires, brake condition, suspension setup, rider training, visibility, and riding behavior are just as important.

The relatively modest top speed can actually be an advantage for someone specifically looking for a controlled urban commuter rather than a high-speed motorcycle.

Riding Comfort

The Hawk's size and two-person seating configuration make it more substantial than many lightweight electric scooters.

Its 12-inch tires are also a practical choice for urban use. Larger wheels can help provide a more composed feel over common road imperfections compared with very small scooter wheels.

The hydraulic suspension at both ends is another positive specification.

I would still recommend a physical test ride before purchasing.

A motorcycle can look comfortable on paper but feel completely different depending on the rider's height, weight, leg position, handlebar reach, and preferred riding posture.

Is the SUNRA HAWK Good for Philippine Roads?

For city commuting, I see a logical use case for it.

The Hawk's approximately 45-km/h top speed means I would view it primarily as an urban commuter rather than a long-distance touring machine.

This distinction is important.

If I were using it for short trips around town, errands, neighborhood transportation, or commuting where speeds remain moderate, the Hawk's specifications make sense.

If I needed a motorcycle capable of sustained high-speed travel or frequent long-distance provincial trips, I would investigate higher-performance electric motorcycles instead.

Philippine electric-vehicle regulations also matter. The LTO has established classification and registration rules for electric vehicles, including L3 electric motorcycles, and public-road operation requires compliance with applicable registration requirements.

Therefore, before purchasing, I would confirm the exact LTO classification and registration eligibility of the specific Hawk unit being offered.

SUNRA HAWK Pros and Cons

What I Like

From my perspective as an EV critic, the biggest strengths are:

• Approximately ₱68,000 current listed price
• Electric operation
• Automatic transmission
• Approximately 45 km/h top speed
• Two-person seating
• 12-inch wheels
• Hydraulic suspension
• Front disc brake
• Digital display
• No gasoline engine
• Potentially low daily energy cost
• Scooter-like styling rather than bicycle-like styling

The price is probably the most interesting part.

At ₱68,000, the Hawk enters the conversation for buyers who want an electric motorcycle without moving into the ₱100,000-plus segment.

What Concerns Me

There are also several things I would investigate carefully:

• Real-world battery range
• Exact battery capacity of the unit
• Battery replacement cost
• Availability of spare parts
• Dealer and service support
• Long-term resale value
• Actual charging time
• Registration requirements
• Performance with two riders
• Hill-climbing performance

I would particularly focus on the battery and after-sales support before buying.

A cheap electric motorcycle isn't necessarily cheap to own if a major component becomes difficult to replace.

Final SUNRA HAWK Review

After looking at the specifications, current Philippine pricing, design, battery information, performance, and ownership considerations, I see the SUNRA HAWK as a practical urban electric motorcycle rather than a high-performance EV.

Its strongest argument is simplicity.

It gives the rider a motorcycle-sized electric vehicle with automatic operation, modest performance, useful suspension, two-person seating, and a current listed price of around ₱68,000.

The claimed range of approximately 65–70 km, depending on specification and test conditions, is potentially enough for many short daily commutes.

But I would not buy it solely because the advertisement says it can travel a certain distance or because the price looks attractive.

I would first verify the exact battery specification, ask about warranty coverage, determine battery replacement cost, check the availability of replacement parts, confirm registration documentation, and take an actual test ride.

That is how I evaluate electric vehicles.

The SUNRA HAWK makes the most sense to me for a rider who wants an affordable electric commuter for city transportation, has convenient access to charging, and doesn't need high-speed or long-distance performance.

For that particular use case, the Hawk's combination of price, practical design, low operating complexity, and electric efficiency makes it an interesting motorcycle to consider.

But prospective owners should remember one important rule when shopping for any electric vehicle:

Don't buy the battery specification advertised on a poster—buy the actual specification of the unit in front of you.

That single detail can make a major difference in the ownership experience.
