(Danielle Muoio, Business Insider) – You don't have to settle on power when it comes to buying an electric motorcycle.

For those looking to go the environmentally-friendly route, there are several electric motorcycle options that don't compromise on speed or performance.

Scroll down for the 9 best electric motorcycle options out there:

Alta Motorcycles has two solid options for those just entering the market. The Redshift SM, pictured here, has an output of 40 hp and 120 ft.-lb. of torque.

Priced at $15,495, the Redshift SM has a top speed of 80 mph and charges in six hours from a level 2 charger. The SM is a bit limited when it comes to range at just 50 miles, but it's packed with enough power for those looking for a city bike.

For anyone looking to go electric for an off-road experience, Alta also offers its Redshift MX, pictured here. Like the SM, it also has an output of 40 hp and 120 ft.-lb. of torque.

The MX is a bit cheaper at $14,995, but you'll be compromising more with a top speed of 65 mph. Alta says the MX has a range anywhere between 1-4 hours, depending on factors like environment and speed.
